Buccos Roofing’s Commitment to Community: The Free Roofs Initiative
Buccos Roofing, a trusted family-owned company in Pittsburgh, is launching an exciting new program called “Free Roofs for the Community.” This initiative reflects the company’s dedication to giving back to the community that has supported them for years.
A Partnership with Owens-Corning
In collaboration with Owens-Corning, a leading supplier of roofing materials, Buccos Roofing plans to provide two free roof installations in 2025 to qualifying homeowners in the Pittsburgh area. This follows their success with a similar program earlier in 2024, where they gifted one free roof.
To select recipients, the company has developed a transparent and engaging process: homeowners can enter via an online form or QR code, and winners will be chosen randomly using an AI-powered algorithm. The only requirement? Entrants must prove property ownership within the Pittsburgh region.
Why Buccos Roofing Is Investing in Pittsburgh
Marketing specialist Richard Kostkas highlights the company’s deep connection to its hometown. “Our values align with the spirit of this initiative,” Kostkas explains. “We’ve built trust in Pittsburgh by delivering quality work and solving problems efficiently. This is our way of showing appreciation to the community that’s helped us grow.”
A Family-Driven Success Story
Founded in 2012 by lifelong friends Ernie Comfort and brothers Mark and Dan Easton, Buccos Roofing’s roots trace back to the early 2000s. The trio met at Peters Township Middle School, where their bond as friends eventually led to the creation of a thriving business.
What began as a modest operation with a rented truck and a few jobs a year has transformed into one of Pittsburgh’s premier roofing companies. Today, Buccos Roofing completes between 1,200 and 1,500 roof installations annually, supported by a 35-person team.
Their growth is driven by a steadfast commitment to customer satisfaction, backed by a 10-year warranty on their roofs and glowing online reviews. Most of their new projects come from word-of-mouth referrals, a testament to their quality and trustworthiness.
The Secret to Buccos Roofing’ Success: Family Values and Independence
Bobby Butler, the company’s HR director and first non-owner employee, attributes Buccos Roofing’ achievements to their close-knit, family-oriented culture. “We were warned against mixing business with family and friends, but it’s been our greatest strength,” Butler notes.
Buccos Roofing has remained independent, despite offers from larger companies to buy it out. According to Kostkas, this independence allows them to maintain full control over quality, ensuring their reputation as Pittsburgh’s trusted contractor stays intact.
Iconic Branding Rooted in Pittsburgh Pride
Buccos Roofing’s recognizable logo—a pirate with a beard—pays homage to the city’s love of sports while reflecting the company’s playful nickname for team members, “bucco.” Initially designed in blue and white, the logo later adopted Pittsburgh’s iconic black and gold, a fitting tribute to the Steel City.
Expanding Their Impact
Buccos Roofing isn’t stopping at free roofs. They aim to expand their charitable efforts in the coming years, helping more Pittsburgh families improve their homes and lives. “We support our families with this business, and we want to help other families in Pittsburgh do the same,” Butler says.
