With 30 years in the industry, Project Executive Michael Frank brings a depth of experience to John F. Shea roofing. While he started at JFS as an estimator and project manager, he found himself “starting to move more into business development, trying to open up new markets,” including public construction.

When Michael joined JFS in 2012, “John F Shea had done a lot of private construction work, but didn’t do as much public construction.” Projects designed to renovate or repair publicly owned infrastructure have the potential to help the community by increasing the value and potentially the quality of life within them. By pursuing work in the public sector, John F. Shea offered up their reconstructive expertise to historic landmarks like Boston’s Memorial Hatch Shell. The challenges of repairing and restoring properties in the public trust can come with unique complications both in the bidding process and during the project itself. Luckily Michael was able to expertly navigate this new (to JFS) terrain.

After spending decades as Project Manager, Contract Manager and Consulting Engineer at other firms, Michael contends that working at John F. Shea is a different experience entirely. “The biggest difference in working with JFS is the attention to detail,” he explains. “It’s in how they handle their projects and how they manage them.” Roofing experts since 1917, John F. Shea’s history was familiar to Michael even before he joined the team. “I remember working with Bob Shea many years ago, that’s how the company was run then — with a focus on quality — and that’s how it’s run now.”

A resident of Somerset, MA, Michael graduated High School in Fall River and attended Roger Williams College, majoring in civil engineering. Married for more than 35 years, the father of two enjoys spending his free time in the kitchen. “When I’m not working, my favorite hobby is cooking,” says Michael. “I really caught the bug 15 years ago.”
