We had the good fortune of connecting with John Malko and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi John, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
After college, I gained experience in various sales roles and spent 15 years at my previous company, where I consistently delivered value to a Fortune 500 organization. While I had a stable career, I always harbored a desire to own my own business. After years of research and exploring countless franchise options, my wife and I finally decided on Mighty Dog Roofing—a decision that allowed me to pursue my entrepreneurial dreams.

What should our readers know about your business?
We are one of 3 other franchises in Arizona and we focus our business in the Southeast Valley of Phoenix: Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Ahwatukee and San Tan Valley. We are a roofing company that focus our business on roofing repairs, re-roofs, window replacements, skylights and gutters.

We are a Platinum Preferred Owens Corning dealer, and we treat every home as if it were our own. We provide financing options, assist with insurance claims, and offer free 25-point roof inspections, along with complimentary bi-annual roof checkups. On top of that, we offer products with up to a 30-year warranty, customizing solutions to fit both budget and needs.

Lastly, we offer many financing options for people that want to stretch out the cost that is associated with home improvement projects.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
My wife and I really enjoy Shinbay and Kai, but we only visit each once a year for anniversaries and birthdays. Since I’m the cook at home, I’d probably grill a few nights and finish off with a steak dinner. We’d also likely play some golf and catch a few sports games together.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I have so many people to thank, but my wife deserves the biggest shoutout. Without her support for my dreams, we wouldn’t be where we are today. I also want to recognize my friends and the incredible community I’ve built at Seville Golf & Country Club—you’ve all been invaluable. A special thanks to Julie Kessler for her fantastic work with Oakley’s Oath and her belief in everything our business represents. Right back at you, Julie!
