Standard Roofing Celebrates 80 Years of Excellence in Commercial Roofing and Building Envelope Solutions
Standard Commercial Roofing & Envelope Solutions, a leading provider of commercial roofing and building envelope solutions, is proud to announce the celebration of its 80th anniversary. Founded in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1945 by Henry Watson Taylor, the company has grown from a small roofing business to an industry leader in providing comprehensive exterior building solutions.
As the company marks this significant milestone, it reflects on its rich history and continued commitment to delivering high-quality services across the Southeast. Throughout its 80 years, Standard has adapted and evolved to meet the needs of its clients, expanding its offerings from roofing to include specialties like asbestos abatement, waterproofing, masonry repair, and other vital elements of the building envelope.
“We’ve experienced a lot of changes over the years, and we are incredibly proud of how far we’ve come,” said Pete Taylor, Chairman and CEO of Standard. “From our roots in roofing to becoming a comprehensive building envelope solutions provider, our journey has been shaped by our unwavering commitment to safety, quality, and the long-term relationships we’ve built with our customers and our employees.”
Since 1996, the company has expanded its service areas beyond Alabama to include Mississippi, Georgia, Northwest Florida, and the Nashville area. Today, Standard’s client base includes some of the region’s most respected institutions, including universities, school systems, and major corporations. The company’s success is built on a foundation of dedicated employees, strong customer relationships, and a deep understanding of the evolving needs of the commercial construction industry.
“Throughout our history, our team has made strategic changes to position ourselves for long-term success,” said Taylor. “We’ve embraced new challenges, including the shift from new construction to roof replacement and envelope solutions, and we’ve always stayed focused on providing value to our customers. As we celebrate 80 years, we’re looking forward to the next chapter and the future growth of the company while staying committed to honoring the legacy established by others that came before us.”
Kristine Mantel, President of Standard, echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the company’s continued commitment to excellence and innovation. “Our 80th anniversary is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our employees, subcontractors, and partners,” Mantel said. “Looking ahead, we’re focused on maintaining the same high standards that have earned us the trust of our clients for eight decades.”
As Standard prepares for its 100th anniversary, the company remains committed to its founding principles: putting customers first, supporting employees, and adapting to the needs of the marketplace. “Every step of our journey has been driven by a commitment to service, quality, and integrity,” said Taylor. “We’re very pleased with our team’s great performance and progress, but we’re even more excited about what the future holds.”
