Title: Owner
Company: Skluzacek Bros Inc.
Location: Faribault, Minnesota, United States
Derek Skluzacek, owner at Skluzacek Bros Inc., has been recognized by Top Business Owners for dedication, achievements, and leadership in the construction industry.
Mr. Skluzacek’s professional journey is deeply rooted in family tradition and community values. Since 2020, he has excelled as the owner of Skluzacek Bros Inc., a company founded by his father and uncle in 1973. The aforementioned business began as a modest venture when his father and uncle shingled their own father’s barn shortly after high school. Neighbors soon took notice of their craftsmanship and began requesting similar work, which led to steady growth through word of mouth. Despite early skepticism from his maternal grandparents about the business’s longevity, Skluzacek Bros Inc. has thrived for more than five decades.
Having joined the business at age 14, Mr. Skluzacek has accumulated more than 30 years of hands-on experience in construction, with particular expertise in residential roofing and roof replacements. He is praised for achieving a high level of proficiency in these areas, which has contributed to the company’s reputation for quality workmanship and integrity. Over the years, Mr. Skluzacek has prepared materials and equipment for daily assignments, traveled to job sites to perform work, met with customers to discuss project needs and provide updates, balanced on-site responsibilities with ongoing communication, and completed necessary administrative tasks.
Prior to becoming the owner, Mr. Skluzacek worked alongside his father and other family members at Skluzacek Bros Inc., steadily increasing his responsibilities within the organization. The longevity of Skluzacek Bros Inc. stands as his proudest achievement. In an industry where many businesses come and go, his company remains a steadfast presence in the community. The name has become synonymous with quality and trust; clients associate it with excellent workmanship and personal integrity. This enduring reputation is valued by Mr. Skluzacek above any award or formal recognition.
What distinguishes Mr. Skluzacek’s approach is his commitment to treating every project as if it were his own home. He emphasizes a personal touch on each job, ensuring that work is completed to the highest standards. Operating primarily in his hometown allows him to maintain close relationships with clients—many of whom he sees regularly—which reinforces his dedication to excellence. Mr. Skluzacek believes that poor workmanship would quickly become known in such a close-knit community, so every effort is made to deliver results that meet or exceed expectations.
Mr. Skluzacek attributes much of his success to this philosophy of respect and care for customers’ properties. He strives to create outcomes that he can be proud of and would be happy to showcase in his own home. This mindset not only guides daily operations but also shapes long-term goals for the business.
Mr. Skluzacek’s educational background includes an associate degree in accounting from a college in Minnesota. Completing this degree while working part-time enabled him to manage the company’s accounting functions effectively and provided essential skills for overseeing other aspects of the business.
Beyond his primary responsibilities, Mr. Skluzacek has demonstrated civic responsibility through volunteer work involving roof replacement projects for those in need. His dedication to giving back reflects both personal values and the ethos of a family-owned enterprise that prioritizes community well-being. As a result of his outstanding achievements, Mr. Skluzacek and his company were honored as Best of SoMINN – Best Windows, Siding and Roofing from Southernminn in 2025, and previously received awards for Best Roofing Company, Best Home Improvement and Best Place to Work.
Looking toward the future, Mr. Skluzacek is committed to the growth and strength of Skluzacek Bros Inc., aiming to ensure its sustainability for future generations of his family. His vision centers on upholding the standards set by previous generations while adapting to evolving industry demands. Following decades of dedicated service, strong family involvement and unwavering commitment to quality, Mr. Skluzacek continues to exemplify leadership within the construction sector and serves as a model for business owners seeking lasting impact within their communities.
