Ramon Franklin LLC, nationally-acclaimed building envelope contractor,  today announced growth plans that include opening offices in Oklahoma City and Tulsa as well as the naming of veteran commercial contractor Denver Green President and Chief Operating Officer.
The announcement was made by Michael Franklin, Chief Executive Officer, who co-founded the company in 2010.  “Ramon Franklin has a solid track record of meeting and exceeding our customers’ expectations.  We know that the economy in the mid-south states is booming, and we are poised to grow with our customers,” said Franklin.  “Denver and I are enthusiastic.  We understand the critical nature of our work and are mobilizing with the best talent and processes in our field.”
Ramon Franklin installs premium commercial roofing, architectural sheet metal, aluminum composite panels, and insulated metal wall panels for a variety of commercial building envelopes.   The company has acquired the highly-skilled and proven waterproofing division of Saratoga Roofing & Construction, LLP as part of Saratoga’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.
“I am excited to be an equity stakeholder in Ramon Franklin and to join Michael in moving this solid company to the next level,” said Green, who brings a unique set of operations and management skills to the company.   “Most of our current employees are the same workers who have been completing jobs for Michael and me over the years.   We count on them to produce the highest quality work, day after day, week after week.”
Ramon Franklin currently employs approximately 150 persons out of its three offices; Fort Worth, TX, Oklahoma City and Tulsa, OK.   Its market area is Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, New Mexico, Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri.
“We will be changing our company’s name and branding our organization to reflect our joint commitment to quality, innovation and integrity,” said Franklin.  “We are high-energy professionals with can-do attitudes.  Our past experiences guide us in managing growth.  Now is the time to build our company.”

Paul Ramon, who co-founded Ramon Franklin with lifelong friend Michael Franklin, sold his interests in October to focus on his residential business, Ramon Roofing, Inc.  “I wish Ramon Franklin all the best in its future endeavors,” said Ramon. “I want everyone to know that this transition works well for all of us, and Michael and I remain best of friends.”
Denver Green most recently served as president of one of the nation’s largest building envelope contractors, Mountain Top Enterprises, dba Saratoga Roofing & Construction.  Because Saratoga filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and was going through an orderly liquidation, Green was no longer needed and therefore left the organization in Fall 2015.  Denver’s mother, the sole owner of Saratoga, remains with Saratoga and is working to accomplish an orderly liquidation.
