VETERAN OWNED AND
FAMILY OPERATED
Our story begins in 1973. After serving with the United States Marine Corps, Ken (K.L.) Smith returned to his Florida home from Vietnam. He immediately decided that he wanted to give back to his community meaningfully by pursuing an interest he enjoyed. Ken quickly earned a contractor’s license and established a construction business in Lakeland, FL, his hometown.
As his business expanded (and eventually flourished), Ken wholeheartedly committed to delivering high-quality roofing work at a fair price. This vision enabled K.L. Smith, Inc. to achieve a hard-earned reputation for being the most regarded roofing company in Central Florida. Daily, homeowners depend on us to provide exceptional workmanship at an affordable price.
To this day, K.L. Smith, Inc. is still family-owned and operated by Ryan and James (J.R.). Through their extensive experience, Ryan and J.R. have identified common mistakes made by other roofing contractors routinely. As a result, they have developed a set of standards and practices to help K.L. Smith, Inc. avoid frequent pitfalls that trap other competitors.
