Trusted Commercial Roofing Services in Louisville
Founded in 1947 by Clarence Geoghegan, a former U.S. Army Colonel, our company was built on principles of customer relationships and exceptional service. After his passing in the late 1970s, the business was acquired by industry veterans Dan Bowling, Joseph Bowling Jr., and Jack Gotting, who later established Louisville Roofing as a sister company for residential projects. In 2021, Jacob Knigge, a seasoned commercial roofing expert and former president of the Kentucky Commercial Roofing Association, acquired both entities. With over 75 years of combined expertise, we specialize in low-slope commercial roofing systems, serving Greater Louisville and Southern Indiana.Our focus on quality, preventative maintenance, and innovative solutions has earned us a reputation as a trusted leader in the industry. We pride ourselves on delivering timely, cost-effective services for projects of all sizes, backed by certifications from top manufacturers and in-house metal fabrication capabilities. As a locally owned business, we remain committed to providing reliable, long-term solutions for our clients.
