American Roofing
My wife and I started American Roofing on January 1, 1983, with $400.00 and a 1964 GMC pickup. My wife Sue supported the business by babysitting our first year. She would answer the phone between changing diapers, and work on the books each evening. While Sue had charge over the bookkeeping and secretarial duties, I was out developing a client base here in the Wenatchee valley.
Our business doubled each year for the first four years. We thought we would never acquire enough tools, trucks, tires, office supplies, etc. because the roofing trade had a pretty low status in the public eye, we decided to only hire the best people we could find. I personally trained each team member one at a time.
Over the years we have grown to the largest and best roofing company in North Central Washington. You've probable seen our trucks in your neighborhood. So far, we've installed close to 6,000 roofs, mostly right here in the valley.
We belong to several trade groups and have an A+rating.
