Will Lato, Senior Production Manager

With eight years of production experience in the roofing and construction industry, Will’s hard work pays off greatly each day while producing each project our teams work on and managing our production team.

“I love the transformational impact our services provide for our customers. I enjoy connecting with homeowners and being able to help renew the exterior of their homes,” he says when asked what he likes most about his work.

I like hiking 🥾 Minnesota State Parks with my wife during the summer and fishing. But, once winter hits, you will find him ice fishing 🎣 on one of the many lakes in the Twin Cities. He also has recent exciting news – he is a new dad! His son Theo 👶🏻 was born in November 2022.

Tonya Licata, Project Coordinator

Tonya brings many years of manufacturing and construction account and project management experience to our production team – and she has also spent ten years of her career as an account specialist in the Aerospace and Defense industry. With her extensive and tailored industry experience, she has quickly become a great strength to our team.

Thankfully her organizational and communication skills are outstanding as she not only multi-tasks and works with various departments throughout each day – it’s what drives her to “get the job done” and done right.

When she isn’t working, Tonya loves anything related to the outdoors 🌳 and all aspects of football, from fantasy football to NFL, and watching her favorite player of all time – her son! Next time you have a minute with her, trade your best fantasy football tips. 🏈
