Nashville has grown and changed over the years, bringing people from all over the country to our city—and Maxwell Roofing. But some members of our team have deep roots right here in Middle Tennessee, growing up in both the area and the roofing industry. Jeff Newman is one of them.
Jeff was born and raised in Cheatham County, just outside of Nashville. His uncle owned a roofing business, and Jeff got his start there immediately after high school at 18. It didn’t take long for him to realize that roofing was more than just a job—it was a skill, a challenge, and a career he wanted to grow in.
In 2019, Jeff brought his years of experience and strong work ethic to Maxwell Roofing, and he’s been an essential part of our team ever since.
Leading the Way as a Service Foreman
As a service foreman, Jeff plays a hands-on role in ensuring quality repairs for our customers. He’s responsible for investigating, identifying, and repairing leaks—often tackling complex issues that require both expertise and problem-solving skills. “Sometimes trying to find leaks can be challenging, but it’s always rewarding when you solve difficult issues,” he says.
He also helps lead and mentor service technicians, teaching them proper roofing techniques and guiding them through the process of diagnosing and fixing problems. Jeff has worked on hundreds of projects throughout his time at Maxwell. When asked if he had a favorite, he couldn’t pick just one.
For Jeff, one of the best parts of his job is the people he works with every day. When asked to describe Maxwell Roofing in one word, he quickly answered: “Real.” He explained that Maxwell has a unique culture—one that’s hard to find anywhere else.
Life Beyond Roofing
Outside of work, Jeff enjoys spending time with his wife and family. “We don’t get much time, so we always cherish what we have,” he says.
At Maxwell Roofing, we’re grateful for Jeff’s dedication, expertise, and helpful mindset. His commitment to quality and teamwork makes a difference every day, and we’re proud to have him on our team.
