Lindsay Jacobs comes from a family of roofers. Her great grandparents started roofing, insulation and home building in Nevada in the 1950s, and Jacobs grew up at the Commercial Roofers, Inc. office. Summers often meant filing, answering phones, running plans and learning the trade. She later worked across billing, payroll, service, production and project management.
Now vice president of the company, Jacobs has contributed to major Southern Nevada projects including CityCenter, Fontainebleau, the Sphere and Harry Reid International Airport’s Terminal 3. Under her leadership, Commercial Roofers Inc. was named Engineering News-Record’s Southwest’s Specialty Contractor of the Year in 2023 and ranked No. 5 among Nevada specialty contractors in 2024 and 2025. She is also one of few women in Nevada to hold a Nevada roofing contractor’s license.
Through the Nevada Contractors Association, Jacobs helped organize a $300,000 remodel of the CARE Complex, coordinating donated labor and materials from contractors across the valley.
