About Our Company

Based in Orlando, FL, True Group consists of two divisions: True Roofing and True Property.

We treat every client the way we want to be treated and every project as if it were our own property. We find the most practical, cost-effective long-term solutions for each job, and we do it right the first time.

That means never cutting corners and using only top-quality materials and a highly skilled crew. We only perform work with our own employees, many of whom have been with us for more than 10 years—no temps or independent contractors. And we strive to minimize inconvenience to the occupants and daily activity at your site.

Plus, we back up our claims with an exclusive 10-year labor guarantee on all roofing and warranties on materials and projects.

A Roofing Legacy in Central Florida

True Group includes the current incarnation of True Engelmeier Roofing, which before that was Engelmeier Roofing.

Engelmeier Roofing was founded in 1959 and has been one of the most trusted and respected names in the industry across Central Florida ever since. To this day, we maintain the same commitment to unmatched workmanship, attention to detail, honesty, and customer service that has allowed the company to thrive in the community for so many decades.

Meet the Leadership Team

James-Ilardi-–-CEOFounder

James Ilardi, CEO & Founder

James has long been an outspoken advocate for accountability and integrity in the water intrusion and reconstruction industry. He demonstrates this passion by providing creative reconstruction protocols for challenging projects, accomplishing them within or under budget. His expertise has contained costs for clients and benefited them in the areas of construction defect identification and resolution across the Southeast.

In 2006, James served as Chairman of the Florida Coalition on Healthy Indoor Environments, leading a joint effort among national IAQ organizations to pass a Florida law protecting the indoor environmental rights of the general public. This law required remediation companies to have proper experience, certification, and carry insurance.

“We recently had TRUE Engelmeier Roofing replace the roofs on the Church and two of our buildings and repair the roof on another building at St. Stephen Catholic Community here in Winter Springs, FL. They have been very professional, helpful and engaged in the entire process and gone above what they contracted for to do the job correctly. They kept us informed of the process the entire time and everyone we worked with was professional, respectful and communicative to ensure we were satisfied with the work they were doing. Any issues that came up were addressed right away. We met with the CEO Jim Ilardi and account manager Geoff Kendrick often during the process, who went out of their way to accommodate our needs and ensure we were satisfied. I am happy to provide a reference for them at any time.”

“As a management company, the replacement of the roofs on 23 townhouse buildings and a clubhouse, was an extraordinary task. Needless to say it took the total cooperation and endless follow-up from a reputable roofing company. True was always willing and able to work with both the management company and the anxious homeowners to insure they were replaced quickly and accurately with as little inconvenience to the homeowners as possible. Thank you True Engelmeier Roofing!”
