Hi, I'm Nick. I've been in the trades since I was 10.
Owner & CEO · Lifelong builder, former strategy consultant
Trades since age 10, 14 houses built in Montana, 9 years in Big 4 strategy consulting. I bring both skill sets to every customer I meet.
Nicholas M. Riley
Owner & CEO
Thanks for reaching out.
I’ve spent a career between hands-on construction and Big 4 consulting that combination is why Driftwood runs the way it does. When we meet, I’ll listen first, walk your roof carefully, and give you straight answers on what’s worth doing and what isn’t.

Owner & CEO, Driftwood Builders Roofing
Nick, by the numbers
A lifetime around homes
Roofing isn’t a career pivot it’s a continuation.
What I do best
What you'll get when we work together
Strategic problem-solving
A decade diagnosing operations for Fortune 500s. Same approach on your roof: data, options, recommendation.
Real construction knowledge
I've built houses with my hands. Ask me anything technical framing, ventilation, where corners get cut.
Owner-level accountability
I run the company. Any concern lands on my desk fast because it already started there.
Referral-grown business
Not optimizing for one transaction. Optimizing for whether you'd recommend us next door.
A little about me
Outside the work truck
I’ve built houses with my hands and I’ve fixed broken companies with my head. Driftwood gets both and that’s why we operate the way we do.
Nick Riley
Montana roots
Grew up on family job sites. Work ethic never left.
Fitness & outdoors
Hiking, training, outside whenever I can be.
Always learning
Reading, cooking, traveling wired to be curious.
People-first
The customer conversations are the best part of this job.
