This woman should run for president! Ken died in 2007 and she continues to grow each and every year. As a contractor we appreciate everything ABC Supply has done for us in the past and assists us with growth. I am a proud ABC contractor that continues to grow with them.
A incredible story, and company to work for. The company culture and buy in, is unmatched. You can start a roofer load and end up a branch manager, just work hard.
She’s a badass. I also respect her for being so rich, yet not in the spotlight like so many other billionaires. This is a woman I’d be happy for my daughter to look up to.
@@thegophawkeyeI feel like to say that is really short selling the story. It’s like if I died and people start saying that about me, while my wife was the one completely running everything in the background. I’m the one you see and think of, but my wife totally was instrumental in the success.
I worked for Diane when she started CCI Contractors and was put on various prevailing wage jobs. We built her horse barn for her Clydesdale horses and was so impressed with her place. I have seen what she has done for Beloit and yhe community.

SRS and ABC have recently increased prices on shingles up 5 percent. My local small distributor hasn't went up at all,so do you believe it's just the big company raising prices or are the shingle manufacturers behind it?
Uh she grew the company substantially after he passed, not to mention changing how the industry sells products. Do not diminish her success because of your sexism or jealousy.
@@spicypickle666 - grew what her husband built from the ground up. Literally the definition of nepotism. But yeah, she’s a self made billionaire… hahaha
She was a cocktail waitress selling real estate part time before she married the guy that started it all. How much of the growth and acquisition was her or the ceo THEY hired. She is rich. yes. "self made" nah. If ABC really cared about contractors there would not be different price levels for contractor buying. They help the big contractors in the area make more profit, while making bigger profit themselves on the small companies. She is against union workers. The pay plans are all geared to more money, more commission. I could go on but, why bother. The machine only grows.
There is no such a thing as self made millionaire. You always have mentors and people who helped you along the way. Self made implies you did everything on your own to get there which is 100% false.
Every wealthy person has, of course, had mentors, but they had to be teachable. They had to choose to listen and follow. That’s where most people fail. So yes, you can still be self made with the help of mentors because you still had to take action.
Roofer math,,her net worth is 690 million bundles of shingles…… I’m curious what she “wanted” from Trump that took 30 calls after she stroked a check? 🤷🏼♂️ welp, back to work,
Where does that “welp back to work” come from? Do you desire the same wealth as her? Or am ungrateful for the work you’ve been gifted? I’m 22 and fresh roof salesmen with about $350,000 in sales not profit.

Thank you for sharing and engaging

She grew up on a farm in Osseo, Wisconsin she deserves all the profits from her country.
She’s a badass. I also respect her for being so rich, yet not in the spotlight like so many other billionaires. This is a woman I’d be happy for my daughter to look up to.
Her husband built it. He died and then she took over
Not very accurate statement
Well said, agreed

Diane is the glue of this company and she is a down to earth billionaire. She treats her workers excellent. I’ve been with the company 15 years !
She has an absolute amazing story!

Thanks a lot for sharing!
Comment What do you think about Diane story!

She is a pioneer and well respected by all.
Wow just wow. What an inspiration.
I knew them prices were making some one money !
Preach brother 🔥😂😂
Aggressive prices mark ups since 2021
Across all the suppliers and manufacturers

Good story
Very inspiring!
Self made co-founder. You guys are good. Being a billionaire when your husband dies doesn’t make you “self-made.”
Uh she grew the company substantially after he passed, not to mention changing how the industry sells products. Do not diminish her success because of your sexism or jealousy.

@@andrewhughes1920you should do a little more research into her story
I'm looking to join a roofing company as a salesman. Any companies you recommend in Dallas TX?
Anyone on directorii.com is my recommendation

Where does gulf eagle rank in terms of volume?
Bottom
With their acquisition of Elite, I'd probably put them at #4.
#4 , an independent started by Jim Resch another industry great … who also has a great family story. #myboss
@@cparkersoflo they catch a bad rep in New England. There pricing is OK. It’s the service that sucks
There is no such a thing as self made millionaire. You always have mentors and people who helped you along the way. Self made implies you did everything on your own to get there which is 100% false.
Self made means you didn’t inherit it, born poor and made it to the top
Every wealthy person has, of course, had mentors, but they had to be teachable. They had to choose to listen and follow. That’s where most people fail. So yes, you can still be self made with the help of mentors because you still had to take action.
Her husband built it.
@@RoofingInsights3.0didn’t her husband build it and then he had a tragic death and then his wife took over
With her
I’m a small contractor in Alberta. ABC bought Monarch where I buy my shingles. Happy to deal with ABC. Republican 👍
Her husband died and she get all the money
They built it together. He was worth $2 billion. She is worth $20b…
All the money!! The man was the elite, she just rode the wave. People should shop elsewhere, shop srs and stop supporting this joke of a success story
Made the billions from fuxing over roofing companies. Worst and most expensive supplier. SHOP ELSEWHERE
Roofer math,,her net worth is 690 million bundles of shingles……

welp, back to work,
