Mitch Willis

MVW Roofing owner, Mitch Willis, started in the construction industry at 14 years old, working as a carpenter and laborer through high school. He continued this work on the weekends for a local construction company while in college and earned a degree in industrial systems technology at 21. After, he started a career as an engineering technician in the Facilities Engineering Department at the Albany Marine Corps Base.

While at the marine base, Mitch continued to work as a contractor on the side and started MVW Roofing in 2011. After 11 years, he decided to switch his position at the base to a firefighter, giving him more time to focus on his business.

Eight months later, Mitch had to medically retire as a firefighter after learning he needed a pacemaker. This gave him even more time to devote to his business, earning a state residential general contractors license at 29 years old and a light commercial state license three years later. He has now been a custom home builder and roofer for five years and has been providing commercial contracting services for local and federal government agencies for two years.

As the owner of MVW Roofing, Mitch is responsible for employee management, project management, and estimating job site meetings. He enjoys building relationships with his customers and creating a positive reputation for his company. He loves the construction business and helping homeowners!

In Mitch’s spare time, he enjoys golfing, fishing, and doing anything his wife and his three children want to do. He spends 60% of his free time with his family and the other 40% doing projects for his wife around the house.
