About Me

I'm Christopher Troy Wideman Jr. — born in Moody, Alabama and now living in Morris. Before roofing I spent three years on ready-mix concrete trucks at USA Ready Mix, where I learned what real construction work looks like: long days, exact numbers, and no room for guesswork. That foundation is what I now bring to every storm-damaged roof I climb.

Read Full Bio & Experience

How I Got Here

I came to roofing because I wanted work where craftsmanship and accountability actually move the needle. My older sister runs her own concrete company; my family taught me that the way you carry yourself on a job site is the same way you build your name. Two years in at Reeder, I've worked storm files, retail builds, and the kind of supplement fights that earn an adjuster's respect.

My Specialty & Credentials

Storm damage & retail roofing — wind, hail, and full-system replacements. I'm GAF-trained and a DISCO Masterclass graduate, working under Reeder Roofing — a GAF Certified Plus Contractor and one of the region's only A+ BBB-rated roofing firms. One of my proudest wins: an Ordinance & Law coverage push that closed a full-replacement supplement the homeowner had been told was off the table.

What You Can Expect From Me

Show up on time. Tell you the truth. Document the roof the way HAAG and the IRC say it should be documented. I treat your house like it's my mom's house — that's the standard. If the carrier missed something, we'll fight it with construction facts and manufacturer specs, not opinions.

"The future belongs to the consistent — not to the talented, not to the lucky, but to the one who shows up even when it’s hard. Effort never betrays you."

Family & Outside Work

Outside work I golf at Ross Bridge, box at the gym, and worship at Church of the Highlands. My role models are the people in my own family — especially my sister, who built her own company from the ground up. That's the bar I measure myself against every week.

About Me

I'm a Birmingham, Alabama native — born in Birmingham, raised and now living in Fairfield. I've loved being in sales since I was 13 years old. Before I came to Reeder I sold life and health insurance, so I already knew what it felt like to sit across a kitchen table and walk someone through coverage that could change their life. Roofing was the natural next chapter.

How I Got Here

I joined Reeder because I wanted my sales career to mean something more concrete — literally, a roof over someone's family. Insurance taught me how to read a policy, ask the right questions, and explain technical details in plain English. Those are exactly the skills you want on your side of the table during a claim.

My Specialty & Credentials

Claims and storm damage — the side of roofing where a homeowner most needs an advocate who actually knows the arena. I'm GAF Certified and work under Reeder Roofing — a GAF Certified Plus Contractor and one of the region's only A+ BBB-rated roofing firms. My biggest correction for homeowners: most people never actually read their own policy until they need it. I help you understand what to prepare for before the adjuster shows up.

What You Can Expect From Me

I want you to feel trust and be at ease — like you're working with somebody who's fun to be around AND who has your back. I love helping in any way I can. One thing I tell every homeowner: cheap is not good, and good is not cheap. A roof installed right the first time saves you money the second time it storms.

"Nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream."

Family & Outside Work

Home base is big — seven siblings and my partner who I've been with for three years. When I'm not on a roof or at a kitchen table I'm shooting pool, bowling, paintballing, or go-karting with friends. Sales is my passion, but this is how I unwind.

Fast Facts

Vincent, AL
15 yrs construction (concrete + builds)
Class of 2024 — Valedictorian
GAF • OSHA • Forklift • CPR
Specialty: Storm Damage, Concrete, Install

About Me

I was born and raised in Vincent, Alabama, and I've been around construction my whole life. Fifteen years of it — concrete, ground-up residential homes, large-scale ground-ups. Roofing wasn't a career change for me; it was a homecoming. When I was asked what drew me to this work, my answer was one word: Dad.

Read Full Bio & Experience

How I Got Here

I graduated valedictorian of the Class of 2024 and stepped straight into the family business full-time. Growing up on a Reeder job site taught me the difference between a roof that looks finished and a roof that is finished. Today I bring that standard to every inspection — with the academic discipline and the 15-year tool-belt to back it up.

My Specialty & Credentials

Storm damage, concrete, and roofing installation. I hold GAF Certified, OSHA Certified, Forklift Certified, and CPR Certified credentials, working under Reeder Roofing — a GAF Certified Plus Contractor and one of the region's only A+ BBB-rated roofing firms. The most challenging file I've worked on: a year-old claim a carrier had approved at $350.44. After a thorough construction-fact inspection and a documented full-scope supplement, that claim closed at over $100,000 — that's what proper documentation can unlock.

What You Can Expect From Me

My goal when we shake hands: you should feel comfortable. I'll document the damage with the manufacturer specs and IRC code references that actually matter. If we find damage that's worth a claim, I'll tell you so — and I'll show you the evidence. If we don't, I'll tell you that too. One word I want every homeowner to remember about me: grit.

"If you have an idea that you think is genuinely good, don’t let some idiot talk you out of it." — Stan Lee

Family & Outside Work

Home base is my better half of 8 years, four cats, one dog, and one cool older brother. Outside work I'm usually cooking (culinary is a real hobby for me), gaming, playing D&D, collecting comics, fishing, or gardening. I also give time to soup kitchens, cancer research, and the Kinesiology Science Research Association. Favorite local hangs: Trattoria ZoZo, Skates 280, and DeSoto Caverns.
