National Roofing was founded in 1977 by Tom Johns in Albuquerque, New Mexico. When Tom and his partner started the company they sought to create a new kind of roofing contractor that would be customer-focused, responsive and professional. Both had experience working in the industry and wanted to raise the bar. “We just wanted to take care of the customer’s needs,” says Tom.

Initially the company provided residential re-roofs and roofing for large residential apartment projects, which provided a 10-year education in controlling costs, training a consistent workforce and acquiring the licenses with major roofing material manufacturers who write long-term warranties for NRC. As the company has grown, they’ve increased their commercial projects and have worked on a number of high profile projects in New Mexico, including Albuquerque Civic Plaza, UNM Children's Hospital, Wells Fargo Bank, Presbyterian Hospital, and the Bernalillo County Courthouse.

So what does that future hold? The company is planning continued growth and expansion, and hopes to add other trades, such as HVAC, electrical and building envelope technologies. He also wants to add architectural and engineering services, as well as an expanded product line that could include industrial skylights, photovoltaic systems and more.
