FARIBAULT, MN, September 16, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Derek Skluzacek has been recognized for achievement in construction and business ownership.

Marked by his expertise in various home protection projects and commitment to serving individuals and families across southern Minnesota, Mr. Skluzacek is the owner of Skluzacek Bros Inc., a role he assumed in 2020 after contributing to the family business for more than 30 years. Under his leadership, the company has continued its longstanding tradition of excellence in residential roofing, roof replacements, storm damage repairs and emergency ice removals. With a reputation for quality workmanship and integrity, he has maintained the business as a steadfast presence in the community, even as other companies have come and gone.

Mr. Skluzacek's wide-ranging responsibilities include preparing materials and equipment for daily assignments, traveling to job sites, meeting with customers to discuss their needs and provide updates, balancing on-site duties with ongoing communication, making follow-up calls in the evenings and completing necessary administrative tasks. This comprehensive approach has helped reinforce the company's enduring reputation for reliability and customer satisfaction.

Prior to assuming ownership, Mr. Skluzacek was deeply involved in the operations of Skluzacek Bros for more than three decades, beginning at age 14. He contributed to every aspect of the business, learning from his father and uncle who founded the company in 1973. The business originated from a simple act of shingling their father's barn, which led to requests from neighbors and steady growth through word-of-mouth referrals.

More than 50 years later, the company remains family operated, with Mr. Skluzacek's mother serving as secretary and several relatives contributing to its ongoing success. The enduring legacy of Skluzacek Bros stands as his proudest achievement, reflecting not only its longevity but also a deep trust within the community and throughout southern Minnesota.

Academically, Mr. Skluzacek earned an associate degree in accounting after attending college part-time while working at the family business, furthering his expertise in residential roofing and roof replacements while enhancing his business management acumen. His commitment to treating every project as if it were his own home has set a standard for quality that clients have come to expect from Skluzacek Bros. This philosophy — prioritizing respect for his customers' properties and ensuring each job meets the highest standards — has been central to his professional journey.

Beyond his professional commitments, Mr. Skluzacek is known for his civic-minded contributions through volunteer work in roof replacement projects, giving back to those in the greatest need within his community. His outstanding leadership and dedication to building a thriving workplace has seen Skluzacek Bros recognized with several accolades over the years, including the Best Windows/Siding/Roofing of SoMINN Award from Southern Minn Scene in 2020-2026 as well as Best Roofing Company, Best Home Improvement and Best Place to Work honors.

On a personal level, Mr. Skluzacek is happily married to his wife Lindsey, and together they are the proud parents of one son and one daughter. He cherishes spending time with his family and draws inspiration from their support as well as the example set by his father, whose work ethic and mentorship shaped his own approach to leadership. Looking to the future with determination, he is committed to growing Skluzacek Bros further and ensuring its strength for future generations of his family, all while serving the residents of southern Minnesota with distinction.
