ADVENT ROOFING - Key Persons
Drew Jones is a trusted roofer in Denton, TX, and serves Denton residents and surrounding areas with unmatched roofing service rooted in trust, honesty, care, and always seeking to be of service whenever and wherever possible.
Drew has been a lifelong resident of North Texas. Born in Dallas and raised in Richardson, he graduated from Lake Highlands High School in 2000. Drew then attended the University of North Texas where he earned his Bachelors of Fine Arts, majoring in English Literature, while minoring in Philosophy. Throughout both high school and college, Drew worked in the restaurant industry. It was in the service industry that Drew discovered his passion for being of service and anticipating the needs of his guests. This passion to care for clients, in all forms, has been the driving force behind his entire professional career.
While finishing college, Drew also developed a love for landscape construction and maintenance. His love of and appreciation for the natural world greatly influenced his career path. After graduating, he took a position as the Maintenance Division Manager for one of Dallas' premier landscaping firms. This opportunity provided him another means by which he could serve a client base. Trust, candor, and care were the core ideals Drew sought to strengthen and affirm the service of an ever-expanding clientele. By serving not only his clients, but their homes as well, he found himself able to pursue his passion of service and his love nature at the same time.
After 10+ years in the landscaping industry, Drew, and his wife Natalie, felt the Lord lead them towards the exploration of an entirely different industry, roofing. After much deliberation, counsel, and prayer, he joined the Advent Roofing family in April of 2019. Since that time, Drew has grown in his knowledge and understanding of the roofing industry. As his awareness of the industry grew, he began to better understand why God had spurred his heart towards an unknown field. The opportunity to be of genuine service while employing ideals such as trust, candor, and care was the reason why Drew had been called to an industry with a "black sheep" reputation of questionable practices and distrust.
Drew's desire to provide the very best service, with his roofing client's best interests at heart, is what makes Drew a leading roofer in Denton, TX. Drew seeks to bring a family dynamic to every client, and his goal is to serve his client's family and care for their home as it were his own.

My name is Johnathan Turner and I was born and raised in Dallas, TX, and have the privilege of upholding leadership roles in the construction industry most of my adult life. In college, I pursued Finance and obtained a Bachelor's degree from the Neeley School of Business at TCU with a minor in real estate & accounting. I graduated and went to work for one of the top brokerage companies in the world. I enjoyed the work, but after 5 years in the finance industry, I realized my passion still was in roofing and construction - where I get to be more hands-on.
Once I left the finance world, I returned to the construction industry where I partnered with a friend and successfully ran a home remodeling service for over 6 years. Being in remodeling, roofing repairs became an everyday part of my job. I eventually started project managing for roof installations, and roof inspections in DFW. Regardless of the job or industry, my focus has always been on customer satisfaction and providing top-quality work.
I am proud to say I got my start in Frisco as a roofer, and am now a trusted roofing contractor in Frisco, McKinney and Plano. My goal is to help make every customer feel comfortable and at ease with any project I do, whether it's roofing, remodeling, or assisting with the insurance claims process.
I got my introduction to the construction industry at the age of 17 with a large building corporation constructing new homes, and quickly was promoted to the position of foreman - quite a learning experience! While I genuinely enjoyed the position, it demanded a lot of my time. The company encouraged me to drop out of school to pursue the construction career on a full time bases. Although tempting, I opted to finish high school instead.
Upon graduating college, I accepted a position for Christian Education & Youth Ministries for the next 3 years of my life. My family moved to the Dallas area in 1982 so I could pursue my Masters degree. During that time, I started and operated 2 businesses. The first was Stonebrook Pools - a cleaning, new-pool construction, and pool renovation company. I also built and operated a vending business.
Soon I found both businesses grew beyond what I could accomplish in a 24-hour period. So I sold the cleaning portion of the pool business to employee, and also sold the vending business. I minimized my duties to focus on assisting high-end residential home builders in the installation of their swimming pools. Shortly thereafter, I merged Stonebrook Pools with a home builder to implement their operations for pool installations in Atlanta, Dallas, and other parts of California. In 1986 the oil crisis sent the corporations I was serving into bankruptcy, and in turn, collapsed my businesses over night.
At a crossroads in my career path, I made the decision to start focusing on providing for my family and serve God in my business endeavors vs. using business as a means to obtain my Masters degree. At that time, I began to build my career in Real Estate.
Getting his start in the construction industry with home inspection services in 2004, and later offering radiant/thermal solutions to homeowners, Owner/Founder Josh Felts quickly became a trusted name in home inspection and thermal-efficiency throughout Dallas/Fort Worth. Working along side many roofing contractors, Felts quickly observed an chance to not only broaden his home contracting services, but he also saw an opportunity to genuinely redefine what it meant to be a roofing contractor. Felts knew first hand that transparency, integrity, punctuality and honesty were a lost art in the contracting world, and he sought to establish a presence in the roofing industry based upon a single principal: doing business the way business should be done - putting customers first.
Having a solid footing in the roofing industry by 2013, Felts' professional reputation led him into the hail storms of 2016 (1.3 million homes affected), 2017 (700,000 + homes affected), and 2018 with the hail season that wrecked major portions of Carrollton and Coppell. With countless roofing companies popping up and dissolving in the same year, Felts knew it would be vital to find ways to distinguish himself from the other roofing contractors in Dallas. Felts understood the importance of educated and experienced roofing crews, exceptional project managing, and upholding integrity during these catastrophic years. These ideologies would soon produce the stature necessary to rise above others in the roofing industry. The uphill battle to redefine what being a top-rated roofer in Dallas means is what drove Felts to be the best, and Advent's reputation still continues to weather the storm year after year.
Everyone knows running a business - especially in the construction industry - takes 24/7 dedication, diligence and constant proactive energy. But when Josh isn't putting on the best roofs in Dallas/Fort Worth, he enjoys spending his time with his 3 kids: Georgia Beth, Wilder, and Mabel Jane. Josh and his lovely wife, Anna Beth, have also been happily married since 2012, and he understands that having a strong family at home is key to having a healthy, robust, service-oriented business mindset 365 days a year!
My name is Justin Suib and I am a Project Manager at Advent Roofing & Restoration. I grew up in Connecticut and moved to the DFW in January of 2016. I have a Bachelors in psychology from Roger Williams University. Growing up in Connecticut, I was one of the head lifeguards at the beach as well as a volunteer firefighter with Rowayton Fire Department. Helping people has always been in my nature and I still carry that with me today. Along with being a roofing professional for over 3 years, I have also worked as an independent insurance adjuster for roof damage, and devastating property damages all over the southeast coast helping homeowners recover from the hurricanes of 2018. It takes experience to understand insurance practices, identify damage and overcome any obstacles that might come up before, during, and after construction. The knowledge I gained estimating damages as an adjuster, paired with over 3 years experience as a roofing professional, allows me to make sure my clients get the best services available.
Over the course of my career in roofing, I have established a strong client base as a top-rated roofer in Allen, Carrollton, and Frisco, TX. I have a network of happy homeowners, realtors, and insurance agents who trust me to help. My model is to treat every home I work on like it was my own. It is not my goal to "pass go" and collect $200. I take pride in building lifetime relationships based on honesty, trust and service. Finding a contractor that a homeowner hopes is trustworthy every time their home needs work can be very difficult. Partnering with a local roofer who has experience on both sides of the fence, uses the best materials available, is a Preferred Contractor with Owens Corning, and is insured, is essential. Allow me to be the last roofer you will ever have to talk to! All you have to do is call and I take it from there. I look forward making sure one of your biggest investments not only meets it's maximum potential, but remains safe for you and your family for years to come!
