Andy Near

Owner of Empire Contractors

My name is Andy Near, and I own Empire Contractors. We provide commercial roofing services throughout Michigan and select parts of Wisconsin, including roof repair, replacement, restoration, inspections, maintenance, and roof management.

I have been part of Choice Roof Contractor Group for 10 years, and I would be glad to share what I have experienced through the group. The relationships, shared knowledge, and contractor support have helped me grow stronger as a business owner while continuing to serve commercial property owners with honesty and professionalism.

How Contractors are Helping Each Other

Choice Roof Contractor Group brings together commercial roofing contractors who believe in learning from each other, sharing experience, and protecting the reputation of the group. Members operate independently, but they are strengthened by the support, feedback, and relationships built within the network.

• Secure More Projects

• Provide Better Solutions

• Compare Growth Strategies
• Build Each Other’s Credibility

How Building Owners Benefit from the Group Model

Building owners benefit when their contractor has access to a wider base of experience, proven processes, and peer support. The group model gives members a place to compare solutions, ask questions, review project challenges, and stay connected with other contractors who understand commercial roofing.

• Larger Base of Knowledge
