About Us

One Team. Two Trades. Same Standard.

Blue Note Pros is what happens when a roofer and a plumber stop competing for the same customers and start building something together. We’re Shreveport-born, storm-tested, and a little bit obsessed with doing right by the people who let us into their homes.

Roofing, plumbing, one call, one crew you can actually trust.

Company History

For the Record

Blue Note Pros founders and company story in Shreveport

Blue Note Pros started as two separate companies with two separate reputations — Pr!or!ty R00fing on one side, Plumber for Hire on the other — both built the same way: word of mouth and hard work. In 2026, we brought them together under one name, because that’s really what we’d been all along. 

Before it was Blue Note Pros, it was just Shay climbing a ladder because somebody needed help, and Alex under a sink because a pipe wasn’t going to fix itself. That’s still the whole operation, just bigger now.


Why "Blue Note"?

A blue note is the note that isn’t quite where sheet music says it should be. It bends a little. It’s got soul. It’s the note that makes the whole song mean something.

Shay’s been playing music around Shreveport his whole life, so when the name came up, it just fit. A blue note company doesn’t play it safe or stiff — it plays it real, even when that means bending the usual playbook to actually take care of the customer in front of us.

That’s the deal we make with every customer: licensed, insured, on time, and never, ever off-key.

Blue Note Pros Brand Story

Brand Story

The People Who Started It All

Shay grew up right outside Shreveport in Stonewall and went to school at North DeSoto and Evangel. When he first got into roofing, he noticed nobody in town wanted to do small leak repairs. So he taught himself repairs, one roof at a time, so homeowners on a budget didn’t have to pay for more than they needed.

On the plumbing side, we joined forces with a crew of master plumbers who believed Shreveport deserved a team that treated a clogged sink with the same seriousness as a five-figure commercial job.

Two founders, two trades, one belief: take care of people first, and the business takes care of itself.

Community Involvement

Our Impact Outside of Work

Our motto is simple: serve others, work hard, have fun. It’s how we spend our Saturdays, not just a poster in the breakroom. We sponsor local youth sports teams (yes, we’ll wear the, um, unfavorable team colors), and we’re active in our churches and the neighborhoods we call home.

This year we’re taking it further with our first mission trip: partnering with a local church to send roofing and plumbing crews to rebuild in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward. Closer to home, we’re planning quarterly community projects in Shreveport. When hurricanes tore through South Louisiana, we put crews on roofs down there for free.

This isn’t for the marketing buzz. It’s just who we are.

Meet Our Family

Meet the Bailiff Family

Shay and Hannah are the roofing half of Blue Note Pros: a husband-and-wife duo who turned a shared dream into a business (and, thanks to Shay’s side hustle, a spot in the local band scene). Shay’s the guy who taught himself the trade, and Hannah runs point on, well, pretty much everything else. Between the two of them, they’ve built a company that treats every roof like it’s their own house.

Meet Our Family

Meet the ALLEN Family

FAQ

MUSIC TO YOUR EARS

Is Blue Note Pros a music thing or a trades thing?

Both, honestly. Shay’s been in bands his whole life, and “blue note” is that slightly-off, soulful note that makes a song hit different. We figured a roofing and plumbing company could use a little soul too.

Yep — a roofing company and Plumber for Hire. Same people, same crews, same standards. We just brought it under one roof (pun very much intended).

Yes. Shay noticed nobody in town wanted to do small leak repairs, so he learned it himself instead of pushing full replacements on people who didn’t need one.

Just one is fine. We’re not going to talk you into a roof inspection because you called about a leaky faucet.

Yes, for both roofing and plumbing. Storms and burst pipes don’t wait for business hours, so neither do we.

Nope. Every review on this site is from a real customer, typos and all. We just picked our favorites.
