The desire to create a better product or service than what’s currently offered can be a very useful motivator in starting a business. So what happens when two experienced contractors with a wealth of knowledge make the revelation that there’s a necessity for a skilled roofing and sheet metal business in their area? Well, if you’re Don Springer and Brooke Peterson, you go out and start your own.
The pair founded Springer-Peterson Roofing & Sheet Metal, Inc. in 1981, and only three short years later, Peterson left the company, which allowed Rob Springer to join in as vice president and owner. Recognizing that the company brand was synonymous with quality and integrity, the decision was made to keep the Springer-Peterson name.
