Minihan Roofing is the March R-Club Roofer of the Month!

By Emma Peterson. 

How Chis and Shannon Minihan built a roofing family legacy.  

This year is a big milestone for the team at Minihan Roofing – our March 2026 R-Club Roofer of the Month – as it marks their 15th year in business! To learn about the origins and goals of this company, Alex Tolle sat down with Chis and Shannon Minihan, the owners and founders of the company, for a short interview. 

Minihan Roofing is headquartered in Graham, Washington, and was originally founded in 2011. But even prior to starting their own company, Chris and Shannon had been a part of the roofing world. Chris shared about their time prior to Minihan Roofing:  

I started out in my teens and early 20s in construction and roofing. Eventually, I found myself in distribution, outdoor sales, and met Shannon, who was a dispatcher for ABC supply. A few years later, I switched sides of the counter and worked as an estimator. Then 2011 came along and with some prodding from suppliers and manufacturers, we decided to do it on our own. 

For the first few years of running Minihan Roofing, it was really a two-person team in the office. Shannon explained, “We operated the business basically by ourselves, other than roof crews, but within the office, until just within the last few years. And now all three of our children work for us. And actually, their significant others also work for us. So, we are literally a family business.” 

Seeing the company grow to where it is today, especially since they are building it with their family, has been amazing for Chris and Shannon. Chris shared, “We're definitely in a growth mode, adding employees, expanding things like that and a lot of our excitement about this phase comes from building a legacy for our children to continue on. We never told them they had to do this, but they've really latched onto it and taken it to heart so much. They're not just along for the ride. We're building this with our kids.”
