Owner & Founder

Russ Hawkins

Firefighter · Founder · Owner

Russ Hawkins is the owner of FireHouse Roofing Co. and the heart behind the company's mission to be “The Good Guys of Roofing.”

Russ founded FireHouse Roofing in 2017 while he was still serving in the fire service. After spending 20 years as a firefighter and retiring from the Tulsa Fire Department in 2020, he built FireHouse Roofing on the same values that guided him throughout his years of service: honesty, kindness, hard work, and doing the right thing even when no one is watching.

Originally from Springfield, Missouri, Russ moved to Broken Arrow when he was in first grade, and this community has been home ever since. He loves helping homeowners, getting to know people, and making customers feel like they are part of the FireHouse family. Russ has always believed that roofing is about more than shingles and repairs. It is about protecting what matters most and treating people with the care and respect they deserve.

If you spend any time around Russ, one thing becomes clear quickly: he loves life, he loves people, and he loves his family. He and his wife, Jaybee, love spending time together, traveling, seeing new places they have never been before, and making memories along the way. They also love spending time with their family, being with their dogs, Rowdy and JoJo, and playing pickleball together.

Russ is a fun-loving, family-oriented guy who believes life is meant to be enjoyed. Whether he is playing golf, pickleball, fantasy football, cheering on the Oklahoma Sooners and Kansas City Chiefs, or spending a day at the lake with the people he loves most, he brings that same energy and appreciation for life into the way he runs FireHouse Roofing.

What Russ wants homeowners to know is simple: you can trust FireHouse Roofing. He built this company to be different. He wants every homeowner to feel taken care of, respected, and confident that they are working with people who truly care. To Russ, being one of “The Good Guys of Roofing” means treating people right, standing behind your word, and always putting the customer first.

Brayden

If you've talked to anyone at FireHouse for very long, Brayden's name has probably come up. He's the General Manager — but he's also done just about every job in the company along the way, from the ground up.

Day to day, Brayden helps oversee production, builds the systems and processes that keep projects on track, and makes sure each install runs smoothly from the first phone call to the final cleanup. When something gets tricky, he's the guy who quietly figures it out.

What he loves most is solving tough problems, helping the team succeed, and taking care of homeowners the right way. To Brayden, "The Good Guys of Roofing" means keeping your word, doing the right thing, and treating people like family.

Outside of work, you'll usually find him on a golf course, at the lake, or cheering on the Chiefs. He's marrying his fiancée Lindsey in September 2026, and their dog Dani pretty much runs the house.

Tyler is the Director of Sales at FireHouse Roofing Co. — the guy responsible for making sure the team that shows up at your door actually knows what they're doing and treats you the right way.

He leads and trains the sales team, supports homeowners through the insurance process, and is always looking for ways to improve how FireHouse serves its customers. His favorite part of the job is helping his team grow and walking homeowners through roofing and insurance questions with confidence — turning something stressful into something that finally makes sense.

Born and raised in Tulsa, Tyler found his place at FireHouse because the company's standards, ethics, and commitment to doing things the right way matched what he already believed in.

Off the clock, Tyler played baseball in college and still loves golf, lake days, and good food with family and friends. He's engaged to AJ (yes, that AJ from the front office), they have a baby girl on the way, and at home there's a corgi/pit mix named Jett keeping life interesting.

Jake

Honest, easy to talk to, and committed to doing the job the right way.

Jake is one of the Lead Inspectors at FireHouse Roofing Co. and has been part of the team for two years. He helps homeowners understand what is going on with their roof, walks them through the process, and makes sure they feel comfortable from start to finish.

For Jake, roofing is more than selling a roof. It is about meeting people, building trust, and providing a service he truly believes in. His favorite part of the job is being able to provide a roofing system he believes in and knowing the job was done the right way.

Born in Tulsa, Jake spent a couple of years in Michigan as a kid before his family moved back to Oklahoma, where he has felt at home ever since. He is married to his beautiful wife, and they tied the knot in September 2025. They are expecting a baby boy in January 2027, and at home they have a dog named Penny, who Jake says is the official security guard of the house. Jake and his family call Midtown Tulsa home.

What Jake wants homeowners to know most is simple: he is honest, he communicates, and he is going to treat people the right way. To him, being one of “The Good Guys of Roofing” means doing the job with integrity, standing behind the work, and making sure homeowners feel taken care of.

Roofing Consultant

Paul

Serving homeowners with honesty, integrity, and gratitude.

Paul has a simple goal: help homeowners feel informed, respected, and never rushed. He walks people through the roofing process from the first inspection all the way to project completion.

Day to day, he's up on roofs, writing estimates, and breaking down options in plain English so homeowners can make a confident decision about their home — not one they feel pressured into.

Before roofing, Paul spent years in the insurance world, where he saw firsthand how many homeowners felt unsure or under-informed about claims. That experience gave him a real passion for educating people, answering questions clearly, and being the calm voice on the other end of a stressful situation.

To Paul, FireHouse represents the good guys in the industry: leading with honesty and integrity, doing the right thing for homeowners, and treating people the way they deserve to be treated. Every interaction is a chance to build trust and help protect one of a family's biggest investments — their home.

Originally from Little Rock, Arkansas, Paul now calls South Tulsa home. He's a die-hard Arkansas Razorbacks and Pittsburgh Steelers fan, has a 29-year-old son, and loves spending time with his future wife.

Top-notch service with integrity, every single time.

Project Manager. United States Marine. Guarding your home like it's his own.

Alex is from Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and grew up partly in Kansas but mostly in Oklahoma. Before joining FireHouse, he worked in several blue-collar jobs, mainly roofing and framing.

Alex also serves as an 0352 in the United States Marine Corps Reserves. That background shows up in the way he approaches his work: disciplined, accountable, and focused on doing things right. He wants homeowners to know that no question is a bad question when it comes to protecting their home. If something comes up during a project, he wants homeowners to feel comfortable asking, and he will stand by what he says the team will do.
