More Than a Roof: How WGM Contracting Builds Protection, Transparency & Purpose Across the DMV
Serving homeowners in Northern Virginia, Maryland, and D.C. | Office in Reston, VA
Four years ago, Scott Kim (Owner & President) and Godson “Che” Klutse (Vice President) launched WGM Contracting with a simple conviction: do the work with military-grade discipline, communicate like trusted neighbors, and leave every client—and community—better than they found it.
Today, WGM is on pace to surpass $2M+ in annual revenue, powered by repeat clients, referrals, and a reputation for delivering exactly what they promise. After starting in Tysons in 2021, the team recently moved their office to Reston, VA to be closer to the neighborhoods they serve daily.
A Veteran’s Standard: Discipline, Precision, Trust
As a three-time combat veteran with 13 years of service, Scott built WGM on the fundamentals he learned in uniform: show up on time, finish on time, and communicate clearly.
“Without discipline, nothing gets done correctly,” Scott says. “From estimating to install to cleanup—discipline is how we keep our promises.”
WGM backs that mindset with documented SOPs (standard operating procedures) so every project follows the same high bar—from first meeting to final inspection.
Roofing You Can Actually “See”: Daily Photo Updates
Roofing is the one home project most owners can’t watch from ground level. WGM fixes that with transparent, daily updates:
- A group text thread opens the day materials arrive
- Morning: aerial/rooftop photo with the day’s plan (what’s being torn off/installed)
- During: photos of hidden conditions (e.g., damaged plywood) with real-time approvals before any change
- Evening: progress photos so homeowners know exactly what was completed that day
This kitchen-window view of the “back of house” makes surprises disappear—and confidence soar.
Partners in Craftsmanship: DaVinci & Brava
WGM maintains hands-on partnerships with leading composite/synthetic roofing manufacturers including DaVinci and Brava. Manufacturer reps train on site; WGM’s veteran crews, in turn, share field innovations that influence best-practice manuals.
Beyond training, manufacturers route homeowner leads to WGM—trust built on WGM’s communication and meticulous install records.
Why Reston? Cedar Shake → Composite, The Smarter Upgrade
Roughly 75–80% of Reston roofs are cedar shake—beautiful, but typically lasting 15–18 years. WGM helps homeowners preserve that classic look while upgrading to composite shake that:
- Delivers 50+ years of service life
- Carries Class 4 impact and Class A fire ratings
- Often lowers insurance premiums due to superior performance
- Maintains a 90–95% cedar look—with far less maintenance
Result: a roof that’s tougher, safer, longer-lasting, and better for the budget over time.
Built to Serve: Business With a Bigger Mission
WGM’s growth fuels a wider purpose: funding clean-water wells (boreholes) in Togo, West Africa. The initiative connects Scott’s ongoing mission work with Che’s roots in Togo, where many rural communities lack safe, nearby water.
“Water is life for these areas,” Che explains. “Local wells mean better health, less travel for families and children, and more time for school.”
For WGM, profit is a tool—not the goal. The company’s legacy is about service: protecting homes in the DMV and investing in human dignity abroad.
