Iowa's specialists in hot asphalt, flat and built up roofing systems.
Gorsh and Sons Roofing was established in 1974 as a maintenance and restoration firm of farmsteads, specializing in the up keep of barns and other out buildings. Cecil Gorsh started the company with the help of his son Tim Gorsh as well as his son-in-law Tim Babcock. They worked together in the Michigan area for three years, after meeting with a consultant in late 1977 it was brought to their attention that the farming market was on the brink of devastation and farmers would continue to need repairs however would be unlikely to afford to pay once work was completed. The decision was made at that time to move back to their home state of Iowa. The group purchased one tar kettle and began a flat roofing repair business.
35 years later the business is still family owned by Tim Gorsh (President), his son Chad Gorsh (Vice President) as well as his daughter Andrea Gorsh (Operations Manager). Gorsh and Sons Roofing now specializes in hot asphalt roofing products, and is currently one of the only companies in the state of Iowa to construct built up roofing systems. Gorsh and Sons Roofing is also one of the only firms in the state of Iowa having extensive experience in historical building roof renovations as well as preventative maintenance.
The company is now located in the town of Victor, Iowa and is based out of one of the oldest historical buildings in the town.
