Moss Boss Roofing owners Tom and Joe Epperly are brothers who built a local, family-owned roofing company around clear explanations, hands-on work, and practical choices for homeowners. This page introduces the people behind the name and explains what each brother brings to the work.

Who are the Moss Boss Roofing owners?
Moss Boss Roofing is based in Salem, Oregon and serves homeowners throughout the Willamette Valley. Tom and Joe have different day-to-day responsibilities, but the goal is shared: understand the roof, explain what they see, and help the homeowner choose a sensible next step.
That may mean planning a repair, comparing replacement options, setting up maintenance, or deciding that a roof does not need major work yet. The recommendation should follow the condition of the roof, not a sales target.
Joe Epperly: Roofing operations
Joe, the older brother, leads the field and roofing-operations side of Moss Boss Roofing. He is the hands-on roofing expert who works with crews, evaluates difficult details, and helps solve practical problems on the roof.
Roofing rarely happens under perfect conditions. Steep slopes, wet weather, access limitations, ventilation details, drainage paths, and existing damage can all affect the right approach. Joe’s role is to bring field judgment to those conditions and help the crew complete the agreed scope safely and carefully.
Outside of roofing, Joe enjoys fitness and bodybuilding. The work suits someone who is comfortable being active, paying attention to details, and staying involved when a job gets physically demanding.
Tom Epperly: Estimates, communication, and business systems
Tom, the younger brother, works with homeowners during inspections and estimates and supports the office systems behind each project. His responsibilities include explaining roof conditions, discussing available options, helping coordinate the customer experience, and keeping the business organized.
Tom’s background includes customer service, insurance, healthcare administration, workers’ compensation claims, and workplace safety. That experience shapes the way Moss Boss communicates: explain the concern in plain language, document the scope, answer questions, and avoid pushing work that has not been justified.
Outside of work, Tom enjoys time with his family and occasionally runs Dungeons & Dragons games. That same interest in understanding complicated systems shows up when he breaks a roofing decision into clear, manageable parts.
Two roles, one homeowner experience
Homeowners should not have to translate vague roofing language or wonder why a recommendation was made. Tom and Joe’s roles connect the conversation at the front of the project with the work happening in the field.
- Education before sales: We explain what we can observe and why it matters.
- Practical options: The scope should match the roof’s condition, the homeowner’s goals, and the available budget.
- Direct communication: Questions are welcome before, during, and after the work.
- Safe, professional work: Planning, jobsite care, and cleanup are part of the service.
- Local accountability: The owners remain connected to the work and the community the company serves.
What to review before choosing a roofing contractor
Getting to know the owners is useful, but it should be one part of your decision. A homeowner should also review the proposed scope, materials, exclusions, payment terms, warranty language, communication process, and evidence from completed work.
