Contractor Spotlight: Baker Roofing Company

A Century of Roofing Leadership in North Carolina

When discussing the roofing industry in North Carolina and across the Southeast, one name consistently stands out: Baker Roofing Company. Founded in 1915, the company has grown from a small Raleigh tin shop into one of the largest and most respected roofing contractors in the United States.

More than a century after its founding, Baker Roofing continues to operate with the same guiding principle established by founder W.P. Baker: “We shall do good work… but always good work.” That commitment to craftsmanship and integrity has shaped the company’s culture and reputation for over 100 years.

Today, Baker Roofing operates dozens of locations across the eastern United States and serves both residential and commercial customers with a wide range of roofing and exterior services.

Strong Presence in the Piedmont Triad

The Greensboro office plays an important role in Baker Roofing’s operations across North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad. From this location, the company serves communities including Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Salem, Burlington, and surrounding areas.

The Greensboro branch provides services for both homeowners and businesses. Residential services include roof repairs, roof replacement, and gutter installation, while commercial clients rely on Baker Roofing for large-scale projects, maintenance programs, and emergency leak repairs.

Because of its scale and experience, the company is able to handle projects ranging from single-family homes to complex commercial buildings, schools, industrial facilities, and institutional properties.

Commercial Roofing Expertise

Baker Roofing has built much of its reputation through large commercial roofing projects. The company installs and services a wide variety of commercial roofing systems including:

Single-ply roofing membranes
Modified bitumen systems
Built-up roofing systems
Metal roofing systems
Steep-slope systems such as shingles, tile, and slate

Commercial clients often rely on Baker Roofing for roof replacement, repairs, preventative maintenance, and emergency response after storm events. The company’s teams are trained to diagnose leaks and restore roofs quickly so businesses can minimize disruption to their operations.

Because the company has been installing low-slope and specialty metal roofing systems for decades, it brings a deep level of experience to complex commercial roofing projects.

Residential Roofing and Exterior Services

While Baker Roofing is widely known for its commercial work, homeowners across the Triad also rely on the company for residential roofing services. These services include roof inspections, repairs, and full roof replacements designed to protect homes from storms and long-term wear.

Through its residential division, Baker Home Exteriors, the company also offers complementary exterior improvements such as siding installation, window replacement, and gutter systems.

With more than a century of roofing experience, the company has adapted to modern roofing technologies while maintaining the craftsmanship that originally built its reputation.

Employee Ownership and Company Culture

One factor that distinguishes Baker Roofing from many competitors is its employee ownership structure. The company operates as a 100 percent employee-owned organization through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). This model allows employees to share in the company’s success and reinforces a culture of accountability and pride in workmanship.

Employee ownership also aligns with Baker Roofing’s long-standing values of stability, quality craftsmanship, and long-term commitment to customers and communities.

A Legacy of “Always Good Work”

Few roofing companies in the United States can claim the same longevity as Baker Roofing. From its beginnings in downtown Raleigh to its current network of offices across the Southeast, the company has maintained a consistent focus on quality construction and dependable service.

That philosophy can still be traced back to the simple sign the founder hung in his shop more than a century ago—a promise that every project would be completed with care, professionalism, and attention to detail.

For property owners in the Piedmont Triad looking for a contractor with a deep history and proven experience, Baker Roofing Company continues to be one of the region’s most recognized names in residential and commercial roofing.
