Bryan Eisenberg:

Welcome to Rock Solid, the Round Rock Business Leaders podcast. I’m your host, Bryan Eisenberg, and today I’m sitting down with Stacie Feller. She and her husband Scott own KangaRoof and Koala Cooling right here in Round Rock. You’ve built quite the presence in the community. But you didn’t start here, right?

Stacie Feller:

Nope. Originally from Silsbee, down near Beaumont. Went to school at Stephen F. Austin. Then followed my first husband’s military career to Fort Polk, Louisiana. That’s where I ended up in insurance—worked in the industry for seven years before being recruited to Texas Mutual in Austin. We moved to Round Rock in 2001, and I spent 15 years there.

Bryan:

That’s a big switch—from corporate to roofing.

Stacie:

It is. My first husband passed away, and later I met Scott. He was running a one-man roofing business. After we got married, I asked if he ever thought about growing it. He said no—he didn’t want to manage people. I told him that’s what I do all day! So I started helping him nights while keeping my day job. That’s how we grew it.

Bryan:

Tell me about the office space on Sam Bass Road.

Stacie:

It used to be a daycare—vacant for years. Scott gutted it and remodeled it. It’s beautiful now. We joke that since many of us are under five feet tall, everything in the old daycare worked for us—low sinks, water fountains, everything.

Bryan:

Let’s talk about your two businesses: KangaRoof and Koala Cooling.

Stacie:

KangaRoof is one of the largest residential roofing companies in Central Texas. We specialize in roofing, obviously. Koala Cooling is HVAC and plumbing, located just down the road.

Bryan:

There’s a big difference between hiring a local roofer and someone who follows storms. Talk about that.

Stacie:

A roof is usually a once or twice in a lifetime purchase. It’s expensive, around $30,000, and there’s no licensing requirement for roofers in Texas. You only need a truck, a ladder, and a hammer—and you can borrow all three. So when a storm hits, people come from out of state, chase the work, and leave. That’s dangerous.

Bryan:

What happens if there’s an issue later?

Stacie:

Exactly. You won’t know there’s a problem until water leaks through and damages your ceiling or mold starts growing. Then you realize you can’t find that roofer. That’s why we rebranded from Feller Roofing to KangaRoof—people remembered Scott, but not the company name. Now, we’re memorable, and we’re local. You can find us. My cell number is on every customer confirmation email. If there’s a problem, I’ll fix it.

Bryan:

You also work in a male-dominated industry. What’s that been like?

Stacie:

I never expected special treatment. I’m not a roofer—I run a business. I don’t pretend to know flashing or shingle details. I have experts on staff for that. But if you want to talk pricing strategy or marketing budgets, let’s go. Early on, some suppliers didn’t want to deal with me. I gave them a shot. If they didn’t come around, I moved on. They came back eventually.

Bryan:

You and Scott work together. Any advice for husband-wife teams?

Stacie:

Know your roles. Write down job duties based on what each person is good at, and stick to them. When salespeople had questions about pricing, Scott would defer to me. If I got a marketing request, I’d send them to him. That clarity made a huge difference.

Bryan:

What about scaling? What’s been key?

Stacie:

Hiring people who are better than me in the areas where I’m weak. I’m not great at production, but my COO, Brenda, is phenomenal. I trust her completely. That freed me up to focus on growth.

Bryan:

Let’s talk about your scholarship program.

Stacie:

We noticed our kids and their friends were under pressure to take out loans for college—even when they weren’t ready or didn’t want to go. So we partnered with TSTC and started giving $1,000 scholarships to students heading into trade programs like HVAC, welding, and diesel mechanics. These are good jobs that pay well and build real careers.

Bryan:

You’re also very active in the community.

Stacie:

We support the Hutto YMCA, where my stepkids went as part of a sliding scale program when we couldn’t afford after-school care. We’re big believers in giving back. We also support Round Rock Partners in Education, the Chamber, and groups like the Professional Women of Williamson County.

Bryan:

Why stay based in Round Rock?

Stacie:

The community. No drama. No cliques. People here support each other. It’s collaborative, not competitive. You walk into a Chamber event and people are just genuinely glad to see you.

Bryan:

Let’s end on a fun one—Scott’s dream office or dream house?

Stacie:

The house, for sure. He spent years designing it. I had four requests: a home office, a fireplace, a pool, and a fold-down ironing board. That’s all I wanted. He took care of the rest.

Bryan:

Last thing. Favorite local gem?

Stacie:

Sweet Eats Farm near Georgetown. Great for grandkids—petting zoo, tulips, the works. And the downtown Round Rock market days. That area has become something really special.

Bryan:

How can folks find you?

Stacie:

Visit CallKangaRoof.com, email me at [email protected], or stop by the office on Sam Bass. We’re right across from the cemetery—we say our neighbors are very quiet. And yes, we’ll bring the mascot if you’ve got a community event!

Bryan:

Thank you, Stacie. Loved having you on.

Stacie:

Thank you!
