The dedicated and dynamic Permit & Compliance Manager at RayPro Roofing & General Contracting LLC, Debbie Nye, has built an extraordinary career that spans multiple industries, leadership roles, and personal achievements. Her story is one of early immersion into the business world, a lifelong commitment to growth, and an unwavering passion for helping others. Today, she is responsible for ensuring that all building code regulations are meticulously followed across the 16 states where RayPro Roofing provides its services, placing her at the heart of the company’s operational success.

Debbie’s introduction to business began remarkably early. From the age of 9, she was by her parents’ side, learning the ins and outs of running multiple successful companies. This early exposure allowed her to develop a strong work ethic and a deep understanding of business operations. Even as a child, Debbie wasn’t just observing; she was involved, learning hands-on lessons that would shape her future. As she matured, her role in the family businesses grew, further honing her managerial and organizational skills.

In high school, Debbie’s ambition and drive were evident. She maintained an A/B grade average while participating in a workforce program that allowed her to leave school early to work. This opportunity not only gave her real-world experience but also set the stage for her first professional role in management. Upon graduation, she quickly rose through the ranks, securing management positions at both Burger King and Subway. Over the course of 11 years, Debbie developed an impressive skill set in leadership, customer service, and operations management. She thrived in these fast-paced environments, managing teams, ensuring compliance with corporate standards, and learning the value of efficiency and teamwork.

Debbie’s talents were not confined to the restaurant industry. After more than a decade in management, she transitioned into entrepreneurship, establishing a state-supported home daycare center in Florida, which she successfully operated for six years. Running her own business gave Debbie a deeper understanding of responsibility, financial management, and the importance of balancing the needs of both clients and employees. Her ability to navigate the demands of childcare regulations and customer expectations prepared her for the complexities she would later face in the construction industry.

Debbie’s career took a significant turn when she began working with her mother in the roofing industry. It was here that she discovered her passion for permitting and compliance. Without formal training, Debbie taught herself QuickBooks, managing the financial and operational side of the business. As she immersed herself in the roofing industry, she became adept at navigating the labyrinth of building codes, permit requirements, and regulatory compliance.

Her natural curiosity and love for learning drove her to master the intricacies of permitting, and this new skill became her niche. Soon, Debbie found herself gathering her own clients, helping them with their permitting needs, and building a name for herself in the industry. For the past 9 ½ years, she has independently managed the permitting process for a wide range of clients, earning a reputation for precision, reliability, and an exceptional ability to streamline complex tasks.

At RayPro Roofing & General Contracting LLC, Debbie now oversees permit and compliance operations across 16 states. This role requires her to be at the forefront of regulatory changes, state-specific building codes, and safety standards. Her attention to detail ensures that RayPro’s projects meet and exceed all legal and regulatory requirements, allowing the company to maintain its reputation for excellence. Whether handling the logistics of a large-scale commercial project or ensuring residential roofing jobs are fully compliant with local codes, Debbie’s expertise and leadership are pivotal to the company’s ongoing success.

A Commitment to Helping Others

Beyond her technical skills, what truly sets Debbie apart is her genuine love for people and her desire to help. She takes pride in making others happy, whether it’s a client, a colleague, or a friend. Her customer-focused approach has made her a trusted figure, known for her willingness to go the extra mile to ensure that everyone she works with feels valued and supported. Debbie’s commitment to continuous learning is another cornerstone of her success. She thrives on acquiring new knowledge and mastering new skills, always seeking to improve herself both personally and professionally.

In addition to her professional aspirations, Debbie harbors a personal dream of one day writing a book. Her journey through the worlds of business, management, childcare, and construction has been rich with experiences, and she looks forward to sharing those stories in the future. Her ability to juggle multiple roles—mother, manager, business owner, and mentor—has equipped her with a unique perspective that she hopes to one day translate into her writing.

In every role she has taken on, Debbie Nye has demonstrated an unshakable commitment to excellence, a deep love for helping others, and a remarkable ability to learn and adapt. Her role at RayPro Roofing & General Contracting LLC is the culmination of a lifelong dedication to growth, hard work, and service. As she continues to manage the complexities of permitting and compliance across multiple states, Debbie remains driven by the same values that have guided her since childhood: integrity, perseverance, and a passion for making a difference. Her story is far from over, and with each new chapter, she continues to inspire those around her to strive for success while staying true to their values.
