Business Spotlight

American Pride Roofing

 

American Pride Roofing is a locally owned and operated, veteran-owned business proudly serving Willow Springs and the surrounding areas. Located at 110 Bear Drive, Suite 2 (near Lakeland Pharmacy),  American Pride Roofing specializes in delivering quality exterior products and professional installations at an affordable price. The team offers free in-home estimates, customized solutions for homeowners looking to update or repair their homes, and knowledgeable guidance for customers navigating the often-stressful insurance process following storm damage.

 

Founded on June 6, 2024, American Pride Roofing may be a newer business, but it is built on strong values, experience, and a genuine commitment to customer education. One of owner Kyle Evans’ favorite parts of the job is helping homeowners understand their options so they can make confident, informed decisions about their projects. That focus on transparency and service is what sets American Pride Roofing apart.

 

Choosing to locate the business in Willow Springs was an easy decision Evans stated — this community is home. Friends, family,and neighbors live here, and serving them with integrity and care is a point of pride. Customers can rest easy knowing their home is being worked on by someone who treats every project as if it were for a neighbor—because it is.

 

Community support plays a vital role in the success of American Pride Roofing. Residents can help by trusting the team with their projects, leaving reviews, and spreading the word about this growing local business. In return, American Pride Roofing gives back by participating in community events, supporting school fundraisers and sponsorships, and contributing to programs such as the Willow Springs Bear Scholarship Program. With every project completed, they are helping make Willow Springs homes stronger and better.

 

One unique tradition that surprises many customers is that every full replacement project comes with a gift—an American flag, presented as a thank-you for trusting American Pride Roofing. It’s a meaningful way for Kyle to share his love of country and appreciation for the freedoms that make owning a small business possible.

 

Looking ahead, American Pride Roofing has big goals. The vision includes becoming the #1 home remodel and restoration company in Willow Springs and eventually expanding into American Pride Custom Homes, while continuing remodel services and increasing involvement in community and veteran-focused programs.

 

The greatest reward of doing business in Willow Springs, according to Kyle, is the community itself. The trust and support shown by local residents—especially early on—has been both humbling and motivating.

 

For those considering starting a business, the advice is honest and encouraging: expect challenges, know your numbers, work hard,adapt, and stay committed. Success comes with sacrifice, learning from failure, and putting everything you have into your vision.

 

When asked about his proudest achievements, Kyle points first to his family and the challenges they have overcome together. He also takes immense pride in his military service as an Airborne Infantry Paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division, including two combat tours in Afghanistan. That experience shaped who he is today and fuels his determination to serve others with strength, integrity, and purpose.
