SUMMIT Roofing was founded in 2007 by Thomas Hargrove, a third-generation roofer who spent 14 years working under his father and grandfather before going out on his own. He had one non-negotiable rule: no subcontractors.
Today, SUMMIT employs 34 full-time craftsmen across five crews, serving residential and commercial clients from Westport to New Haven. The company has completed 847 projects without a single unresolved warranty claim.
Every leader at SUMMIT started on a roof. No one manages something they have not done themselves.
