Commercial roofing contractor, Tecta America, has announced Kevin Palmer will assume the role of CEO.

Kevin, who has served as President of Tecta America since March 2024, takes over the role from Dave Reginelli who will transition to Executive Advisor, effective June 22.

New CEO

Kevin brings more than 30 years of hands-on roofing and construction experience to the CEO role. He grew up in the Tecta family, joining over 20 years ago and serving as Operating Unit President of Schwickert’s, a Tecta America company, for eight years before joining the corporate leadership team as President over two years ago.

Tecta says Kevin’s operational experience, passion, and his commitment to the company’s people make him the “ideal leader” to carry the company into its next chapter.

Outgoing CEO Dave Reginelli joined Tecta America in August 2010 as CFO. Over the course the last 16 years, he helped shape the future of the company and was promoted to President and CEO. Under his leadership, Tecta America expanded to over $1.6 billion in revenue and more than 110 locations nationwide.

“When I joined Tecta in 2010, I could not have imagined the incredible journey that lay ahead. I am so proud of what this team has built together — not just in scale, but in the culture, the reputation, and the extraordinary people who make Tecta what it is,” said Dave Reginelli.

“It has been the honor of my professional life to lead this organization, and I look forward to supporting Kevin and the entire team in my new role as Executive Advisor. Tecta couldn’t be in better hands than with Kevin now at the helm. Tecta’s future is brighter today than ever before.”

Kevin Palmer added: “Dave has been an exceptional leader and an even better colleague, mentor and friend. His vision, integrity, and dedication to this business are woven into everything Tecta is today. I am deeply grateful for the foundation he has built, and I am excited to honor his legacy and the legacy of all our people by continuing to grow and strengthen this extraordinary company.”
