Before we ever climbed a ladder or laid a shingle, our story started somewhere you might not expect: in a restaurant. Our founder, Mr. Findlay, knew how to take care of people at the table, and he brought that same mindset to roofing. His goal stayed simple from day one—give homeowners better service when they need a new roof.
That focus on service, family, and trust still guides us at Findlay Roofing today. Our Company History video shares how those early choices shaped who we are and how we work on every project.
From restaurant roots to roofing service
In the video, our team talks about how Mr. Findlay started in the restaurant industry before moving into roofing. That shift might seem big, but the heart of it stayed the same: serve people well.
As one team member shares, his main goal was “to provide a better service for customers in need of a new roof.” That simple line sums up our foundation. We didn’t grow around sales slogans or short-term fixes. We grew around the idea that when someone trusts us with their home, we owe them our full attention, clear communication, and careful work from the first inspection through the final cleanup.
A big family feel that shaped our culture
The video also highlights another side of our story: how family shaped our office and field crews. Mr. Findlay came from a large family, and that background set the tone for how he treated the people around him.
In the video, you hear our team say, “He came from a large family. That's where the atmosphere in the office started. He treated his employees like family.” That family feel isn’t just about being friendly. It shows up in how we work together on roofs, how we respect each other’s time, and how we take care of your property while we’re on site.
When crews feel supported and valued, they tend to stay longer and care more about the details. That long-term team mindset helps us deliver consistent workmanship, clean job sites, and the kind of follow-through that builds long-lasting relationships with homeowners.
Hardworking, committed, and truly genuine
One of the most direct moments in the video comes when our team sums up our values in three clear words: “Our values have always been hardworking, committed, truly genuine.”
We see those words as more than a tagline. They show up in how we handle every stage of a roofing project:
- Hardworking: We focus on the details of each roof, from the first inspection to the last piece of cleanup, so the system can stand up to Georgia’s changing weather.
- Committed: We built our reputation through referrals and repeat customers, so we treat each project like it could be the one that a neighbor asks you about.
- Truly genuine: We aim to give honest feedback about your roof, clear next steps, and straightforward communication throughout the process.
Those values also connect to the promises we make today, like our Lifetime Leak-Free Warranty, our policy of no payment until the job is completed as promised, and our focus on careful inspections. They all stem from the same mindset shown in the video: do the right thing for the customer and stand behind the work.
Showing up in the community, not just on rooftops
Another key part of the video focuses on how Findlay Roofing stays visible in local neighborhoods beyond job sites. Our team talks about how we support and attend local activities: “We sponsor local baseball teams. We show up at events and home shows, school plays, and people see us out in the community.”
When people see us at local games, events, and home shows, they don’t just see a logo. They see the same faces who might visit their home for a roof inspection or replacement. Over time, that presence builds trust. We’re not a company that only shows up when there’s storm damage; we’re part of the everyday life of the communities we serve.
That local involvement fits with our long history in Georgia. Since 1995, we’ve installed tens of thousands of roofs across the region, and that steady growth came largely from word of mouth. The video helps put a face to that story and shows why community ties still matter so much to us.
Trust built and carried forward
Trust threads through every quote in the video. One line captures this well: “Findlay has built trust and been able to continue that trust for many years due to the customer service, the way we treat people.”
That trust doesn’t come from one job or one season. It grows when homeowners see that we do what we say we’ll do, that we keep our appointments, and that we stand behind our workmanship. Over the years, that approach helped us earn referrals, industry recognition, and an A+ Rating with the Better Business Bureau.
Today, that same focus on trust shows up in concrete ways: we carry full insurance, we provide detailed, no-obligation estimates, and we rely on clear processes like our 10-point roof inspections. The video gives you a look at the people and principles behind those systems.
A long-standing expectation of quality
Toward the end of the video, our team reflects on how our standards haven’t faded as we’ve grown: “We've had a long standing expectation of quality and customer service, and we hold true to that expectation. It motivates us to continue it.”
We see that expectation as a promise to ourselves as much as to our customers. It guides the materials we use, the training we invest in, and the way crews approach every roof. Being recognized as an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor and becoming one of Georgia’s largest full-service roofing companies both tie back to that same expectation: do the work the right way, and keep raising the bar.
When you watch the video, you’ll notice that no one talks about quick fixes or shortcuts. They talk about service, family, community, and quality. Those themes drive decisions across our business, from residential roof replacement to storm damage response and commercial roofing solutions.
Why this story matters when you choose a roofer
A lot of roofing companies can talk about shingles and warranties. Fewer take the time to share where their values come from and how they carry them forward. Our Company History video matters because it shows the real people behind Findlay Roofing and the reasons we work the way we do.
When you invite a roofing company to your home or business, you aren’t just choosing a product. You are choosing a team, a set of standards, and a way of doing things. Our history—from a restaurant background to a family-like office to deep community roots—shapes every roof we install and every conversation we have with a homeowner.
We invite you to watch the video, get to know our story, and see how those early choices still guide us. When you’re ready to talk about your own roof, our team at Findlay Roofing is here to share options, answer questions, and help you find a roofing solution that fits your home. You can reach us at (404) 609-0733 to start the conversation.
