Gaylord Blue, founder of Blue’s Roofing, dreamed of starting his own roofing company shortly after moving his family west from El Paso, Texas, to the San Francisco Bay area roughly five decades ago. He started out learning and perfecting his trade with a large company — Alcal Specialty Contracting — and in 1973 branched out to form his own roofing business focused on values he held dear: hard work, integrity and doing the job to the best of your ability. 

Though long-gone from the day-to-day operations of the company, Blue’s founding values still ring true almost half a century later, and they’ve helped establish its reputation as one of the best commercial roofing and waterproofing specialists in the West.
