Hi, I’m Brian Sorensen, owner of Sorensen Roofing & Exteriors, G.C. here in the great State of Colorado. Unlike many of the roofing companies in Colorado, Sorensen Roofing & Exteriors, G.C. is a native Colorado company that has a brick and mortar location in Greeley, CO.
I grew up in Southeastern Colorado on a farm and ranch as a child, attended Northeastern Junior College in Sterling, CO and trasferred on to Colorado State University for Ag Business and Soil & Crop Sciences.
My journey into the ownership of a insurance restoration company happened through several life changing events, but through the grace of god, I have been blessed to have a family, a business, amazing business partners and 1000’s of happy clients.
My journey started when Colorado Farm Bureau came call in the winter of 2007 about an open opportunity in the Limon, CO branch after a longtime friend was going to retire. I spent the next 2 1/2 year learning, studying, reading and living insurance code and policy and I am sure glad now that I did. After my time with CFB, I went on to getting licensed as an insurance adjuster out of the State of Texas. I spend the better part of 2 months 40 hours a weeks learning the in’s and out’s of being an adjuster. I have extensive knowledge and insite of the insurance adjusting policies, codes, practices, internal documents and their estimating software from this experience. AmeriClaim and Cunningham Lindsey, US hired me on for the next 2 years and I spent time writing claims for State Farm, State Auto, Horace Mann, Farmers, Amica, USAA, CHUBB, Travelers, Lloyds of London, Firemans Fund, Safeco among about another 20 different companies.
In 2011, I fell and broke the end of my Femur skiing and a 9 month recovery started, Cunningham Lindsey terminated my adjuster contract and I was out of work after only 5 days of short term disability payments. So I joke that “I FELL INTO ROOFING” literally. I had a friend that needed an estimator for 2-3 days per week and offered me a chance. I quickly made it to the production manager position after about 5 months, and I began to see that I was in the wrong situation as employees and crews were not being taken care of by the owner.
August of 2012 was a tipping point for myself and for my future wife and kids, as I started Mile High Restoration Inc. in Denver, CO. We have continued growth year after year, I personally am blessed with a loving family and dedicated business partners who’s #1 goal is to help homeowners first, the money will always come if you have the right intentions.
In early spring of 2016, my family and I decided to rebrand our company name and name it “SORENSEN ROOFING & EXTERIORS, G.C.” We chose to do this for a couple of different reasons, Mile High Restoration was having other companies infringe on its name, but adding LLC, LLP among other business designations, and unless we planned on being in court for the next 30 years, the secretary of state would still allow companies to do so.
We are building this company so that we can give our boys the opportunity to run this in the future. We are not a storm chasing model, we are a company being built on Honesty, Integrity & Sincerity so that we can be here 50 years from now.
We are very happy to be going into our 5th year of business and have enjoyed unimaginable growth over the last several years. Licenses we have achieved include City and County of Denver, Rocky Mountain Building Region, City of Fort Collins, City of Cheyenne, WY which are 4 of the hardest 10 licenses to get in the United States of America. Many companies have been in business for 30 years and have not been able to achieve all 4.
My experience as a licensed insurance agent and licensed insurance adjuster has given me leaps and bounds more information and ability to really be a consultant to the homeowner to streamline the entire claims process. Homeowners routinely tell me how much the appreciate how easy I made the process and that I will be their consultant for any future claims the rest of their lives. Customer service really is our #1 priority and we love being able to run into our past clients years later and still be able to look them in the eye and say thank you for you business and how is your family.
