The Local Roofing Company Owned and Operated by Brothers

Brothers Jacob and John grew up on their family farm in Bunn North Carolina. They were born into a farming family of five generations. Skybird Roofing is the second family business started by brothers in the Vollmer family. Their grandfather, John Vollmer and his brother Bernie Vollmer started a farming chemical supply company on the Farm back in the 1980’s called Farm Boys Agri-Service.

The farming business began as a tobacco production farm and then transitioned into an organic fruit and vegetable farm in the early 2000’s. At that time, the farm also established another branch of business in the agri-toursim space, created by the brothers parents, Russell and Mary Vollmer. This is where the brothers affinity for customer service began. The farm offered farm tours, family fun weekends, and pick-your-own berries. Since the early years of 12 and 10, Jacob and John were working in the farm market, speaking with customers and establishing the foundation of experience that serves them today at Skybird Roofing.
