Oaks in the Community
Kris Oaks and the Oaks Roofing and Siding team believe in supporting the local community and giving back in every way we can. The trust and support that we receive from our community does not go unrecognized or unappreciated.
Celebrating 20 Years as More Than Just a Construction Firm
“We’ve never gone backwards… we have a lot of great people that work for us and we always want to give them more opportunities.”
The Rochester Business Journal has featured Oaks Construction, a renowned construction company marking a significant milestone as it proudly celebrates its 20th anniversary. Over the past two decades, Oaks Construction has established itself as more than just a construction firm, exemplifying excellence, innovation, and a commitment to building strong communities.
Long-time friend and employee, Jen Burton, reflects on Kris Oaks and his amazing journey as an entrepreneur
“There is a lot you can say about Kris Oaks, but one of the best words I can use to describe him is fearless. I’ve known Kris for over 25 years now and never would have guessed we would all be on this journey together.
Kris has taught me and so many others through the years to take chances and use your words to ask questions and ask for what you want. He is an outstanding example of a guy that built his company from scratch, with his boots on the ground, buckled up, climbing on roofs, in dumpster trucks, and to this day he is still closing deals to get more work. Kris started this company from humble beginnings, working on roofs by himself. “
Oaks Roofing & Siding partnered with Owens Corning to install a brand new roof at no charge for the Oaktober Giveaway
As a nonprofit organization, Homesteads for Hope relies almost entirely on the kindness of the community to continue their mission. The Community Farm empowers adults with disabilities to learn, work, live, and grow in nature’s classroom. The organization is in the process of remodeling their first home on the site which will serve as a community center for over 300 families who need a place to go. Once complete, the center will be open year-round for programs, classes, and community gatherings. This new roof will help give this organization the jumpstart they need to better serve the community.
