39 Years. One Promise.
Family-owned since 1987. We still answer the phone ourselves.
How We Got Here
One truck. Three crew. 39 years later.
In 1987, James Harlow loaded a pickup truck with tools, hired two friends, and started knocking on doors in Springfield. The pitch was simple: honest work, fair prices, and showing up when you said you would.
It worked. Word spread. The crew grew. By 2001, Peak Roofing had earned its BBB A+ accreditation. By 2008, GAF awarded us Master Elite® status, held by fewer than 2% of roofing contractors nationwide.
Today we operate a 20-person crew with a full drone fleet, an in-house insurance adjuster, and 3,400+completed roofs across Springfield and the surrounding region. James still reviews every estimate.
