Professional Roofing: What is the most unusual roofing project you've performed?
Cutrona: The Hasbro Toy Store at Walt Disney World, Orlando, Fla. We had various crews working on different specialties—tile, modified bitumen, standing-seam copper and shingles—in close quarters and a high-profile location. It was a challenge!

Why did you become a roofing contractor?
I wanted to know and understand the business my husband, Jerry, and I owned. For the first few years we owned the company, I did not work in roofing. I decided to get my roofing license a couple of years later, and here we are. It was a gradual transition for me that took about one year.

What are your favorite items on your desk?
I have two: Family photos—mostly taken on various vacations (they bring back such good memories)—and my calculator. It's about 15 years old, and we are such a great team. I dread the day it crashes on me.

What do you consider your most rewarding experiences?
Being a wife, mother, daughter, sister and aunt. I'm blessed to belong to a family that sticks together. Not much can be more rewarding.

My best is that I have good relationship-building skills. My worst is that I worry—about everything.

People who waste my time.

Playing with my dogs, Lucy and Jackson. Even on the worst day, playing ball with them for a few minutes can turn a day around.
