At Nail’Em Down Roofing, it’s not just about shingles and siding—it’s about building something that lasts. Nobody understands that better than Cody Smith, the owner, founder, and driving force behind the business. With a strong work ethic rooted in real-life experience and a deep respect for honest craftsmanship, Cody leads with grit, passion, and a serious commitment to getting the job done right.

He’s not your average business owner. Cody brings a unique blend of real estate savvy, roofing knowledge, and hands-on labor experience to every project he touches. He knows what it takes to create value for homeowners, property managers, and investors alike—because he’s been all of those things himself.

Cody’s journey didn’t begin behind a desk. He got his start as a farmer, laborer, and roofer, learning firsthand the importance of showing up early, staying late, and doing the kind of work you’re proud to stand behind. Over the years, that mindset carried him into business ownership, first in real estate and later in roofing.

As the founder and owner of Stepping Star Real Estate, LLC, Cody has spent the past 7 years investing in, managing, and maintaining properties. That experience gave him a sharp eye for structure, a deep understanding of property value, and the confidence to launch Nail’Em Down Roofing—a roofing company built on trust, quality, and straight-up hard work.

Roofing Expertise You Can Rely On

Cody specializes in residential and professional roofing services, helping homeowners across Westmoreland County and surrounding areas protect their properties with durable, high-quality roofing systems. Whether it’s a small repair or a full replacement, Cody approaches every project with the same level of care and attention to detail.

He’s also proud to be an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, a trusted status that reflects his dedication to professional standards and exceptional results. With Cody at the helm, Nail’Em Down Roofing doesn’t just fix problems—it adds lasting value to your home or property.

Real Estate Meets Roofing

One of the things that sets Cody apart from other roofing contractors is his real estate background. As a seasoned landlord and investor, he understands how roofing decisions impact not only a home’s appearance but also its long-term resale value, structural integrity, and insurance outlook. He uses that knowledge to help clients make smart, cost-effective decisions that serve them now—and years down the road. Whether you're a first-time homeowner or an experienced investor, Cody speaks your language.

Certified, Educated, and Always Learning

Cody holds an Associate’s degree and has earned the Owens Corning Preferred Contractor certification, keeping him connected with industry best practices, top-tier materials, and the latest installation methods.

But beyond credentials, it’s Cody’s dedication to learning on the job and constantly improving his craft that drives his success. He believes there’s always room to grow—and he brings that growth mindset to every single project.

An Outdoorsman at Heart

When he’s not on a rooftop or managing a property, Cody’s probably out in the woods. A true outdoorsman, he spends his free time hunting, hiking, and enjoying everything nature has to offer. That same love for the land and natural surroundings of Pennsylvania carries over into how he treats his customers—with respect, patience, and appreciation for their goals and lifestyles.
