Letitia’s Vision

“Over time, my perspective has undergone remarkable transformations, bringing about numerous positive changes. I’ve achieved many of the goals and aspirations I once placed on my vision board. In 1996, when I embarked on my roofing journey, it was merely to secure a job as a struggling college student. Through eight years of unwavering dedication and hard work, I ascended the ranks until I could establish my own company. In 2004, after securing my contractor’s license, I founded Alternative Roofing Solutions, Inc. operating as ARS Roofing & Gutters(ARS). Starting with a team of 11, we’ve since expanded to 24 full-time team members. My entry into this field wasn’t driven by a childhood dream of becoming a roofer, but rather by a desire to be an entrepreneur and make a positive impact. I’m proud to have not only built a successful business but also realized my dream of founding a non-profit, The LIME Foundation, named after my son Emil spelled backwards. You can find more information about it at www.thelimefoundation.org.

I deeply appreciate your involvement in this vision and for placing your trust in my company.”
