Greg Brown serves as a Project Specialist for Patriot Roofing and Exteriors, where he specializes in residential and multifamily roofing systems, exterior renovations, and coastal home protection. With experience spanning shingles, metal roofing, low-slope systems, gutters, and James Hardie siding, Greg has become known for helping homeowners and property managers navigate complex exterior projects with confidence and clarity. Originally from Woodbridge, Virginia, Greg relocated to Jacksonville, North Carolina in 2000 and has proudly called the area home for more than two decades. Before entering the roofing industry, he spent ten years building high-end bicycles for elite athletes, including X Games gold medalists and award-winning triathletes. That hands-on experience taught him the value of precision craftsmanship, problem-solving, and customer service — principles he now applies to every roofing and exterior project. Greg entered the roofing industry after being recruited by a local roofing supplier who recognized his natural ability to connect with people and solve problems. Over the past six years, he has successfully managed everything from large multifamily roofing projects to luxury coastal home renovations exceeding $2 million in value. His work reflects a commitment to durability, design, and long-term performance, especially in the demanding coastal climate of North Carolina. In addition to his roofing expertise, Greg is deeply involved in the local BMX and cycling community. As a founder of a Jacksonville bike shop and a longtime freestyle BMX rider, he has spent years supporting youth and underserved communities through bicycle repair initiatives, safety education, and nonprofit outreach. He has partnered with organizations like Get Wheel to provide bikes and repairs to children and families in need, while also helping organize free bike tune-up events and safety courses for kids. Greg’s approach to roofing is rooted in honesty, quality, and exceeding expectations. Whether he is helping a homeowner choose the right roofing system or training newer sales professionals in the industry, his goal remains the same: deliver a level of craftsmanship and service that stands above the standard.
