About L.E. Roofing: Weathering All Storms with Integrity and Craftsmanship
The story of L.E. Roofing is one of perseverance, craftsmanship, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. It begins with our founder, Lauro Esquivel, who arrived in the United States from Mexico as a young teenager in 1988. Like many immigrants chasing the American dream, Lauro started at the very bottom, working long hours in the agricultural fields of Idaho, harvesting sugar beets and potatoes under the scorching sun. Little did he know that these early experiences of hard labor would forge the work ethic that would later define his roofing company.
From Humble Beginnings to a Roofing Legacy
At age 21, Lauro moved to Pueblo, Colorado, where he discovered his calling in the roofing trade. He began with a local roofing company, absorbing every detail of the craft like a sponge. His natural talent and dedication quickly became apparent as he mastered both residential and commercial roofing techniques.
Seeking to expand his knowledge, Lauro later moved to San Antonio, Texas, where he worked for Beldon Roofing, one of the nation's premier commercial roofing contractors. It was here that he developed expertise in complex roofing systems, architectural detailing, and the critical waterproofing technologies that protect buildings from the elements.
Building a Business from the Ground Up
Returning to Colorado with this valuable experience, Lauro spent years perfecting his craft at Central States Roofing while simultaneously building his own business on nights and weekends. The turning point came in 2010 when demand for his work became so overwhelming that he had to make a choice—continue working for others or fully commit to his own vision. With characteristic courage, Lauro chose the latter, transforming L.E. Roofing from a side business into a full-fledged commercial roofing enterprise.
Trusted by the Nation’s Most Demanding Clients
What followed was a period of remarkable growth and achievement. Through tireless effort and an uncompromising commitment to quality, L.E. Roofing earned prestigious contracts with the Department of Defense, becoming a trusted roofing provider for military installations including Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, and Schriever Space Force Base in Colorado, F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming, and Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. These critical facilities demand the highest standards of performance and reliability—standards that L.E. Roofing has consistently met and exceeded.
Serving Local Communities with the Same Dedication
Beyond our federal work, we've built strong relationships with state and local governments, handling roofing projects for the Colorado Department of Transportation, numerous school districts, universities, and municipal buildings across multiple states. Our commercial portfolio includes everything from hospitals and warehouses to retail centers and residential complexes.
More Than Roofs: Complete Protective Solutions
What truly sets L.E. Roofing apart is our holistic approach to roofing solutions. We don't just install roofs—we engineer complete protective systems. Our capabilities span custom metal fabrication, advanced waterproofing technologies, and comprehensive project management. We maintain our own fleet of equipment and employ skilled crews who take pride in their workmanship, ensuring quality control from the first nail to the final inspection.
Proven Quality That Stands the Test of Time
Perhaps the greatest testament to our work is seeing roofs we installed decades ago still performing flawlessly today. Some have lasted so well that we're now honored to be replacing our own original installations—a rare achievement in this industry that speaks volumes about the durability of our work.
A Family Business Rooted in Values
At its heart, L.E. Roofing remains a family business built on traditional values. Lauro's story—from farm worker to successful entrepreneur—continues to inspire our team every day. We measure our success not just in square feet covered or contracts won, but in the trust we've earned from clients who know we'll always deliver on our promises.
The L.E. Roofing Promise
As we look to the future, we remain committed to the principles that got us here: integrity in every interaction, mastery of our craft, and an unwavering dedication to quality that stands the test of time. Whether it's a small repair or a multi-million dollar federal project, we approach every job with the same attention to detail and commitment to excellence.
This is the L.E. Roofing difference—a legacy of quality built one roof at a time, by people who care deeply about their work and the communities they serve. From those humble beginnings in the fields to becoming a leader in commercial and residential roofing, our journey continues, always reaching higher.
