Sam Kensinger — Founder, Red Patch Roofing

Sam Kensinger on a Berks County job site — veteran-owned Red Patch Roofing.

I am Sam Kensinger, founder and owner of Red Patch Roofing. I served three combat tours in Afghanistan with the 82nd Airborne Division before coming home to Berks County and building this company.

The 82nd Airborne wears a red "AA" patch on the left shoulder. It stands for a standard — precision under pressure, accountability without excuses, doing the job right whether or not anyone is checking. When I started a roofing company, I named it after that patch because I wanted the standard to come with it.


I did not start Red Patch because I was the best roofer in the region. I started it because I saw how most contractors treat homeowners — missed appointments, prices that change after the estimate, silence when a problem shows up later — and I knew the bar could be a lot higher. Everything we do is built around closing that gap: exact arrival times, written line-item estimates, drone documentation on every job, and a 15-year labor warranty we are structured to honor.
