How and Why it All Started

A family legacy, founded in 1997, Jim Gory set out to continue the tradition and utilize the extensive knowledge gleaned from an 80-year heritage in roofing.

We are an independent sales firm for the highest quality manufacturers in the roofing industry. Our focus is on sales, support, and customer service for our clients. In addition to marketing and sales support, we act as field consultants, provide training, and product guidance, and help develop specifications for Florida.
