Today we’d like to introduce you to Matthew Smith.
Hi Matthew, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I began my career in roofing in 2016 when I helped launch my first roofing company, gaining hands-on experience across sales, operations, and project execution. Through consistency, work ethic, and a customer-first mindset, I quickly became the company’s top salesman and a trusted point of contact for both clients and team members. When the company later went bankrupt, I used that setback as an opportunity to sharpen my skills and perspective. Six months later, I joined Infinity Roofing, where I scaled rapidly within the organization. From 2018 through 2024, I consistently ranked as a top producer while also becoming a dependable leader—training new salespeople, mentoring team members, and helping raise the overall standard of professionalism and accountability within the company. In September 2024, I launched Go Pro Roofing & Construction to bring everything I had learned into a company built on leadership, transparency, craftsmanship, and long-term relationships—creating not just a roofing company, but a team and culture clients and employees can rely on.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Definitely not smooth. First company went bankrupt from the major 2016 hail storm that hit san antonio texas. We had covid as a huge obstacle because of social distancing. I’ve had mental challenges that came into play with both myself and my family members.
As you know, we’re big fans of Go Pro Roofing & Construction. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
**[Matthew Smith] | CEO at Go Pro Roofing & Construction**
As the driving force behind Go Pro Roofing & Construction, I am dedicated to transforming the roofing and construction landscape with a commitment to excellence, integrity, and innovation. With over [10 years] of experience in the industry, I have cultivated a passion for delivering high-quality craftsmanship that not only meets but exceeds client expectations.
At Go Pro, we believe that a roof is more than just a structure; it’s a safeguard for families and businesses. Our team is committed to providing personalized solutions tailored to each project, ensuring that every client feels valued and understood. We leverage the latest technologies and sustainable practices to deliver durable, energy-efficient roofing solutions that stand the test of time.
🔧 **What We Do:**
– Comprehensive roofing services for commercial & residential projects, including installation, repair, and maintenance
– Custom construction projects that bring visions to life
– Dedicated customer service that prioritizes open communication and transparency
🌍 **Our Mission:**
To elevate the standard of roofing and construction through quality craftsmanship, exceptional service, and a commitment to safety and sustainability.
What sets us apart is that I didn’t start Go Pro Roofing from a shortcut or a spreadsheet—I came up through every layer of the industry. I’ve been the salesman knocking doors, the project manager solving problems in the field, and the leader responsible for training teams and standing behind the work when things get difficult. That experience shaped how we operate today. We focus heavily on education, transparency, and accountability, especially when it comes to insurance claims, which is where many homeowners feel overwhelmed or taken advantage of. We also invest deeply in our people—training sales professionals to be consultants, not pressure-based closers—so customers feel supported, not sold. At the end of the day, our goal isn’t just to complete a roof; it’s to build long-term trust in the communities we serve and create a company culture that both clients and employees can rely on.
I am passionate about fostering a culture of teamwork and continuous learning within our organization. As we expand our reach, my goal is to empower our team to innovate and excel, ensuring that Go Pro Roofing & Construction remains a leader in the industry.
Do you any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
It’s very simple because it was a simpler time. Being with my entire extended family (cousins, aunts, uncles, etc) at grandma and grandpa’s house playing around the house all the outdoor games a kid can think of. This was before the year 2000.
