Cory Swanson, left, owner of Swanson Roofing, and Garrett Runyon, project manager, stand in front of a home the business is working on in Mahomet on Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2013. Swanson Roofing will be honored Friday as the Champaign County Chamber of Commerce's Small Business of the Year.

ST. JOSEPH Cory Swanson is not convinced bigger is always better.

Over his first 12 years in business, he built his roofing company to $2 million a year in annual revenue and about a dozen employees.

But in the four years since then, Swanson whose company is known as both Swanson Roofing and The Roofing Dog has been satisfied to keep his company the same size.

"I'm really content where we are," said Swanson, 36, of St. Joseph. "I don't need the stress of trying to get bigger and expand."

He said his staff works as "one crew that's the best way to maintain quality control."

Today Swanson Roofing will be honored as the Champaign County Chamber of Commerce's "Small Business of the Year" at a luncheon at Champaign's Hilton Garden Inn.

In information considered by the chamber's judges, Swanson Roofing said it doesn't want further revenue growth, fearing it might jeopardize the company's integrity.

If the business can maintain its revenues at just over $2 million a year, it "can become self-sufficient while creating the ability to service past customers, if necessary," the business stated in its nomination form.
