Tecta America Corp. is pleased to announce that Dean Laymon has been promoted to Operating Unit President at Tecta America Oklahoma, effective October 1, 2024.

Dean began his career in 1995 as a laborer at BRB Roofing and Manufacturing. After exploring opportunities outside the company, he returned in 2004 and advanced through the ranks. By January 2011, Dean moved into upper management as a General Foreman, and a year later, he became a Superintendent, managing multiple projects simultaneously. After spending nearly 18 years on the road, Dean transitioned to Plant Manager, overseeing production and manufacturing operations at BRB.

In 2016, when Craig’s Roofing, Inc. acquired BRB, Dean continued as Plant Manager and took on additional responsibilities, including Project Manager. Following Tecta America’s acquisition of Exterior Solutions in 2017, Dean stepped into the Service Manager role and served as Safety Coordinator for a brief time.

Since joining Tecta America, Dean has embraced the opportunities for growth and professional development, participating in numerous training events and honing his skills. He attributes his success to Tecta America’s support and investment in his career.

“Dean will continue to build Tecta Oklahoma on the foundation Craig started.  Dean is a thoughtful manager who always does the right thing.  He will grow the business with the team’s help,” said Todd Stugelmayer, Chief Operating Officer of Tecta America.

“Dean’s journey through the roofing industry exemplifies hard work, dedication, and a commitment to growth,” added Kevin Palmer, President of Tecta America. “In his new role as OUP, we are confident Tecta America Oklahoma will continue to thrive due to his ability to lead by example and continuously seek improvement,”

“I wish the best for everyone at Tecta and trust that my team here in Oklahoma will do very well under the leadership of Dean Laymon and his core team,” said Craig Wilson, Retiring Tecta America Operating Unit President of Oklahoma.

Please join us in congratulating Dean on his well-deserved promotion!

Tecta America Corp. would like to announce the retirement of Craig Wilson, Operating Unit President of Tecta America Oklahoma, effective October 1, 2024.

Growing up in Tulsa, OK, Craig showed entrepreneurial spirit by starting his own lawn mowing business at 11 and hiring workers by the time he was 12. By the time he graduated high school in 1988, he gained early leadership experience as a foreman for his high school’s summer crew.

After serving four years in the Navy, Craig returned home in 1992 and began working for a small roofing company. In 1994, he launched Craig’s Roofing, overcoming challenges to steadily grow the company. Craig’s entrepreneurial drive led him to acquire a small guttering and siding company in 2010, enhancing lead generation and fueling growth.

In 2016, Craig expanded his business by acquiring BRB Roofing and Manufacturing in Muskogee, OK. The following year, Tecta America reached out, and in September 2017, Craig officially joined Tecta America as the Operating Unit President of Tecta America Oklahoma.

Reflecting on his journey, Craig shared, “I am forever grateful for the knowledge I have received from everyone at Tecta America, and I believe it was the best decision I could have made for the future of my employees.”

After years of dedication, Craig has decided to retire and spend more time with his family and friends, and to enjoy his passion for the outdoors.

“I have enjoyed working with Craig for the past 7 years! He is a caring leader who always puts his team first! I sincerely hope Craig enjoys his retirement,” said Todd Stugelmayer, Chief Operating Officer of Tecta America.

Please join us in thanking Craig for his years of service and wishing him all the best in his retirement!
