When we reached out to Andrew Gasper of Palladium Roofing for his interview, he was on a job site assisting with a roof inspection. It was Andrew’s regular office day, yet he was on a job site, lending a hand where needed.

This small glimpse into Andrew’s day-to-day offers insight into his approach to business. With a focus on excellence and a culture of teamwork, Andrew has grown Palladium Roofing into one of Oklahoma City’s most well-respected roofing outfits.

The Road to Roofing

Andrew was born in Germany and moved to Oklahoma with his family as a young boy. He graduated from Moore High School and went on to the University of Oklahoma, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Health and Exercise Science.

He spent three years as the wellness center supervisor at Oklahoma Heart Hospital, but it turned out to be a poor fit, so he began looking for new opportunities. After meeting the owner of a roofing company at a professional development training, he became a roofing inspector.

Over the next three and a half years, Andrew completed over 1,000 inspections. In August 2020, he founded Palladium Roofing.

Andrew named his company after the element that powered Iron Man’s suit. That character developed integrity over time—something which Andrew says is at the core of his business. The metaphor means so much to him that his wedding ring is even made of palladium.

Rooted in Community

Andrew has a heart for his community that not only shows up in the nonprofit work he does but also in his business.

“Roofing has been a good fit because of the people I'm around—homeowners, building owners, REALTORS®. It gets me out of an office and into the community,” Andrew shares.

Palladium Roofing currently has 12 employees, including production workers, inspectors, and administrative staff. Another difference-maker at Palladium is its use of in-house labor.

“Where most companies sub everything out, we have a team that works for us and does the work when people need it,” Andrew explains. “And we are not your typical roofing company that's storm chasers. We tend to work very well with insurance companies because of our processes. The insurance adjusters we know locally understand how we work, and when we file claims, they take it more seriously. If there’s an option that’s not a roof replacement, we’re going to be very open about that and give them other options. We’re always looking at alternative choices and doing what’s best for the company.”

The culture at Palladium Roofing is young, energetic, relatable, and empathetic. They aim to ensure their homeowners understand the process and get the care they deserve. Their reports are professional, and their core values are rooted in integrity. 

“Another value is community,” Andrew adds. “We don't want to be people who take from the community. We’re always asking, ‘How do we give back? ‘ My wife and I are avid philanthropists. We give back 1% of our revenue to nonprofit and local organizations.”

Outside work, you’ll find Andrew with his wife, Alisha, and their son, Oliver, who recently celebrated his first birthday. They especially enjoy traveling; Oliver has already been to Portugal and Mexico in his first year.

“More than anything, I hope people see me for the positive energy I bring and that I'm always in a positive mood,” Andrew closes. “I love my wife, I love my kid, and I love working in the business to create opportunities for so many other people.”
