The founder of Roofing Rochester NY and Melnik and Sons Construction came from a long line of roofers and builders, with a family history spanning over 200 years. Growing up around the industry, he developed a deep understanding of the challenges homeowners faced—particularly the issue of moss-covered roofs, which often required damaging scrapers or harmful chemicals. Driven by his entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to create a better solution, he found inspiration in the natural antimicrobial properties of copper. He envisioned a product that could harness the power of rainwater flowing over copper strips to naturally prevent moss growth, offering protection without harming the environment or the home.
This vision led to the creation of the “Copper Moss Boss” roofing strips—an innovative, eco-friendly solution that eliminates the need for harsh treatments while enhancing the roof’s aesthetic appeal. Determined to make shingle roofs a premium yet affordable choice, he designed the strips to provide long-lasting protection that homeowners could trust. The “Copper Moss Boss” embodies his commitment to sustainability, quality, and the belief that every home deserves the best protection, naturally.
