Our StoryRed Sky started with a simple idea: Tampa Bay homeowners deserve contractors who are great at their trade, honest with their customers, and run a business that's built to last.
Billy has wanted to build a company that makes a difference since he was a kid. He just didn't know what it would be yet.
That changed when he moved to Florida. He saw what hurricanes can do to homes that aren't properly protected, and what that does to the families living inside them: the lost belongings, the insurance battles, the months of feeling unsafe in their own house. He knew this was the industry where he could make that difference.
He spent almost a decade at kitchen tables up and down Florida's west coast, helping homeowners work through some of the biggest and most important decisions they'll ever make on their home. Roofs, windows, doors, and siding aren't impulse buys. They're about keeping your family safe, and people deserve someone who'll give them the full picture and real options.
Along the way, he noticed something. It's rare to find contractors who are great at their trade, honest and kind people, and sound business owners, all at once. Plenty are one or two. Very few are all three. And homeowners pay the price when they're not.
So he decided it was time to bet on himself and go all in on the dream he'd had since he was a kid.
"I believe a business should be built on how much it can give to its customers and community, not how much it can take."
Steve has spent 17+ years in construction, installing and overseeing projects in Maryland, Texas, and, for the last seven years, Florida.
Over that time he saw how a lot of big companies treat their customers once the contract is signed: rushed crews, missed details, and homeowners left chasing someone to call them back. He set out to build a company that actually does right by people.
Today Steve oversees every Red Sky install, making sure the work behind the walls and under the shingles is done the way he'd want it done on his own home.




For more than 2,000 years, people have looked to the sky to know what's coming. Long before radar or the weather app on your phone, sailors and shepherds passed down a rhyme so old it appears in the Bible:
Red sky at night, sailor's delight.
Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning.
A red sky at night often meant the sun was lighting up the back of a storm that was moving away, with calm air coming in behind it. The worst had passed. But that same red sky in the morning was a warning. It told sailors the truth about what was headed their way, so they could prepare.
When we look at your home, we tell you the truth: what's urgent, what can wait, and what doesn't need fixing at all. No scare tactics, no upselling.
When the job is done, we want you to feel what sailors felt watching that sunset: the storm has passed, your home is protected, and you can relax.
Calm. Protected. And proud of the choice you made.
We only recommend what we'd put on our own mom's house. If we wouldn't do it for her, we won't do it for you.
We educate and provide options. We don't preach one solution or push "sign tonight" deals.
That goes for our customers, our crews, and the community we live in.
Every customer gets the owners' cell numbers, because if you're not happy, we're not happy.
"We want you to be proud you picked us. If you're not, we haven't finished the job yet."
