Company
History
In 1943, Paul Saunders arrived in Richmond, VA, from the mountains of
Franklin, North Carolina. He began roofing with his brother, Frank Saunders,
who had a roofing company in Richmond. Paul continued roofing under
his own name for 50 years, until his death in 1982 while working on
a roof at the age of 81. Paul was known for his skill working with slate
and tin. Business was generally located in the West End and Fan districts
of Richmond. His love of roofing, craftsmanship, and a job well done
were among the reasons the present company continued to exist under
his name.
Graham B. Aston, Paul Saunders' son-in-law, presently owns the company.
Twenty-three employees currently work for Paul Saunders Roofing Company.
These men and women handle the management, sales, office, and field
duties. Although most of the company's work is centered in Richmond,
Paul Saunders Roofing does travel to surrounding communities such as
Charlottesville, Fredericksburg, and Petersburg to handle roofing projects.
Graham B. Aston moved from England in 1982 to work with Paul and take
over management of the company. In the years that the company has been
under Graham's administration, it has grown substantially, and is now
a successful, growing roofing company.
Employees
Paul Saunders Roofing Company employs only first-rate workers. It is
our practice to accept only the top personnel within our trade.
This enables us to have a superior work force that is notable a cut
above others in our industry. Some of the reasons we attract good personnel
are the wages and benefits paid. Paul Saunders Roofing operates on a
profit-sharing basis, which keeps every member of the company conscious
and aware of both their job and the costs of mistakes on the job.
Graham Aston, president of Paul Saunders Roofing, is also the president
of Horizon Roofing and his involvement carries the same commitment to
quality and professional workmanship in Horizon as it does in Paul Saunders
Roofing.
Mike Parker is the General Manager of Horizon Roofing. Mike has over
32 years of experience in the roofing industry, and has owned and run
several successful roofing companies, dealing with all aspects of roofing.
Mike's commitment to quality and professional roofing has proved to
be a huge asset in this market in these days of unknown workmanship
and management within the roofing industry.
Horizon
Roofing
Horizon Roofing started business on January 1, 1998. The company
was formed as a separate entity from Paul Saunders Roofing: a roofing
company in its own right, Horizon specializes in shingle, cedar shake,
and metal roof systems. Horizon Roofing started solely with the
reputation of Paul Saunders Roofing to help it along, but has grown
quickly over the years, as more and more customers refer us as their
roofing company of choice in the shingle/cedar shakes market.
