Built Right Co-Owner Jake Hofer Named to Elevate Rapid City's 40 Under 40

Built Right Roofing & Construction is proud to announce that co-owner Jake Hofer has been named to Elevate Rapid City's 2026 40 Under 40 list, recognizing young professionals who are making a meaningful impact in their industries and communities across the Black Hills region.

A Rapid City native, Jake has spent more than 15 years in the roofing and construction industry. Throughout his career, he has worked in nearly every facet of the business, gaining firsthand experience that has shaped his approach to leadership and customer service.

According to his 40 Under 40 profile, Jake's passion for construction comes from a desire to improve an industry where homeowners are often caught between contractors and insurance carriers. He believes customers deserve honest communication, clear expectations, and confidence that their contractor is looking out for their best interests.

That philosophy has become a cornerstone of Built Right Roofing & Construction. Jake has focused on helping build a team that prioritizes transparency, quality workmanship, and long-term relationships with homeowners throughout western South Dakota.

The Elevate Rapid City 40 Under 40 program recognizes individuals who demonstrate leadership, professional achievement, and community impact. Jake's selection reflects not only his dedication to his craft but also his commitment to improving the customer experience within the construction industry.

Built Right congratulates Jake on this well-deserved recognition and is grateful for the leadership, vision, and integrity he brings to the company every day.

When he's not helping customers navigate roofing and exterior projects, Jake enjoys spending time with his family and riding his Harley through the Black Hills.
