Our History At A Glance

National was founded by the Karl Schmitt family in 1942 and purchased by Everett G. Sova in 1982. With over 27 years of roofing experience and help from dedicated employees, Everett expanded National’s operations to include schools, government buildings, warehouses, malls, automotive structures, etc.

 

In 1988, Everett’s son Gary Sova purchased National Roofing. Gary had 11 years experience as a foreman for Firebaugh & Reynolds Roofing Company and 6 years of experience as an estimator and project manager prior to buying National. Building upon his experience and passion, Gary continued to expand the company and National Roofing began working all across the country. Gary’s only son Todd has been working for the company since 1997 and has a degree in construction management from Michigan State University. Following the family tradition, Todd began his rise in the company working on the roof for 9 years before becoming the field superintendent. With help from an enthusiastic group of highly trained roofers and sheet metal workers, along with experienced estimators and office personnel, National Roofing is ready for any and all challenges the future holds.

Today National Roofing has completed projects in over 18 states. Thanks to more than 100 dedicated employees and over a half a century of experience, National Roofing continues to find ways to serve our customers both in Michigan and throughout the United States.

Mobility and Commitment

As more and more companies are expanding nationwide, the need for a quality roofing contractor away from their home state became apparent. By listening to our customers needs, National Roofing realized we needed to expand our operations to include states throughout the US. We have now completed projects in 18 states and hold numerous licenses that allow us to travel without interruption in service for our clients. Our roofers and managers have learned to adapt to the different needs of customers and jobs that take us far from home. We are committed to providing the best possible service at the best price for all our customers the first time every time.

Over a Half Century and Counting…

By providing the quality and professionalism to all of our customers, National Roofing has stood the test of time. Since our inception in 1942, our goal remains the same, Provide the exceptional service and quality our clients expect and deserve. By never wavering from this goal our company has not only survived but flourished. Through the good times and bad, you can count on National Roofing to be there for all of your roofing needs.
