Bunton Roofing Company is honored to be recognized by Abilene Christian University as one of the inaugural recipients of the ACU Founder Awards, earning a place on the 2026 Wildcat 10 list.
The Wildcat 10 recognizes the 10 fastest-growing companies founded or led by ACU alumni, with rankings determined by compounded annual revenue growth from 2023 through 2025.
The awards were presented October 29 during ACU's Homecoming celebration at a dinner hosted by the Griggs Center for Entrepreneurship and Philanthropy. The Founder Awards program is presented by Leadwell Advisory Partners, with independent review by Condley and Company, LLP.
From a Home-Based Business to a Growing Roofing Company
John and Amber Bunton founded Bunton Roofing Company in September 2021. What began with the two of them operating out of their home has grown into a commercial and residential roofing company serving Abilene and communities throughout the Big Country.
John brought years of roofing industry experience to the business, having worked in the industry since 2007. Together, John and Amber have built a company offering roof replacements, inspections, service, and repairs while steadily investing in equipment, technology, facilities, and a growing team.
In 2025, the company purchased its office, warehouse, and yard at 4825 Hill Street in Abilene. Today, Bunton Roofing has nine full-time employees and one part-time employee, allowing the company to continue expanding its capabilities and serving customers throughout the region.
A Meaningful Connection to ACU
The recognition is especially meaningful because of the Bunton family's longstanding relationship with Abilene Christian University.
John attended ACU and played football. Amber earned both her Bachelor of Business Administration and Master of Business Administration in Marketing and spent 16 years working for the university. Many members of Amber's extended family have also attended ACU.
Their son, Luke, is currently an ACU student. If he graduates on schedule, he will graduate 100 years after Amber's grandmother, continuing a family connection to the university that spans generations.
John and Amber are grateful for the education, lessons, opportunities, and relationships ACU has provided throughout the years. Being recognized by their alma mater makes this honor particularly special.
Committed to the Big Country
Growing a successful business has also given John and Amber the opportunity to invest back into the communities that have supported them.
Bunton Roofing is committed to supporting local schools, nonprofits, churches, and community organizations throughout the Big Country. In 2024, the company launched its Teacher Wish List Drive, purchasing classroom supplies directly from teachers' Amazon wish lists.
The 2025–2026 drive supported 69 classrooms across 37 schools and 13 school districts. It is one of the ways Bunton Roofing strives to make a meaningful difference beyond the roofing projects it completes.
Thank You, ACU and the Big Country
John and Amber are grateful to the Griggs Center for Entrepreneurship and Philanthropy, ACU, and everyone involved in making the inaugural Founder Awards possible.
Most importantly, they recognize that this milestone would not be possible without their employees, customers, referral partners, family, and friends who have supported Bunton Roofing along the way.
From two people working out of their home to a growing company with a permanent home of its own, the journey has been rewarding. John and Amber look forward to continuing to serve Abilene and the Big Country with the same commitment to quality workmanship and exceptional service that has guided the company since 2021.
Reliable Roofs. Exceptional Service.
