DACA Roofing - Continuing the European Tradition of Excellence in Roofing

A Word from the Founder

Let Me Introduce Myself,

My name is Luc Vandebuerie. I was born and raised in Belgium, Europe. I had operated DACA Roofing  in Belgium for 25 years, working on sites all over Europe, and had specialized in the restoration of historical sites for 15 years. I relocated to the United States in 1998 after marrying a lovely Kansas woman I'd met on a prior business trip.

Since then I have found that the overall approach to roofing Americans and Europeans take is quite different. In Europe I had to attend a roofing college for eight years to get all of the degrees for the different kinds of roofs I wanted to install. We are required to know not only how to install a roof, but also about the material we work with; how it is manufactured, what it is made of and its characteristics so we can understand why certain roofs are installed the way they are. This is a key difference between many roofers. All good roofers know how to install a roof according to its specifications, but not all know why those specifications are set. 

This additional knowledge will benefit my customers and help us to find a roof that will meet and hopefully exceed expectations. This is how I know I can give my customers better quality for the cost and be able to stand behind my work 100%.

My employees are trained by me, treated fairly and paid according to their performance and skill. I also warranty all of my work, so my customers can rest assured that, should a problem ever occur due to our installation, they can call and have it worked on within 24 hours. Of course, this results in a slightly higher installation cost, but I leave it up to you, the customer, to decide if you want to buy a price or buy a quality roof. I hope to have the opportunity to install your roof.

Best regards,

Luc Vandebuerie
