Veterans at Work: How Whitco Roofing and Battalion Brands Are Making a Difference

Whitco Roofing Inc. is honored to announce an exciting new chapter in our company’s storied 19-year journey—our recent acquisition of a substantial stake in Battalion Brands. This partnership marks a milestone for Whitco, uniting our commitment to top-quality roofing services with a shared passion for positively impacting the lives of those who have served our country.
Empowering Veterans Through Career and Entrepreneurship Opportunities
Battalion Brands was established with a powerful vision: to help veterans find purpose, stability, and success after their military service. At the heart of this mission is V.C. Veterans Contracting, a residential roofing company founded by Kyle Conte, a two-time Marine Corps combat veteran who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Kyle’s journey from military service to entrepreneurship was anything but smooth. After graduating from Eastern Kentucky University, he found that high-level job opportunities were scarce for combat veterans like himself. In the face of adversity and with minimal support, Kyle founded V.C. Veterans Contracting in 2011. Thirteen years later, V.C. Veterans Contracting is a thriving business that excels not only in industry-leading residential roofing services but also in its commitment to supporting veterans.
A Comprehensive Approach to Veteran Support
At its core, Battalion and V.C.’s mission is to address the challenges Kyle encountered over a decade ago by empowering, educating, and equipping veterans to excel in the corporate world. For veterans like Kyle, this is more than just a job; it’s an opportunity to build prosperous careers and realize their potential as business leaders.
Additionally, Battalion Brands offers a comprehensive support system tailored to veterans and their families. This holistic veteran support network includes a wide array of crucial services, such as benefits assistance, financial planning, and mental health treatment. This fundamental aspect of Battalion Brands ensures that veterans and their families have access to the tools they need for a healthy transition to civilian life.
Building a Better Future, One Roof at a Time
For the Whitco team, this collaboration represents far more than a business alliance—it is a pledge to support the brave men and women who have sacrificed so much to serve our nation and protect our democracy. Together, Whitco and Battalion Brands are dedicated to empowering veterans and creating meaningful change in the communities we serve.
