Our History

Old black-and-white photo of Bert Dorr standing near work vehicles at job site Bert Dorr Roofing Company was founded in Meriden, Connecticut in 1935 by Bert G. Dorr Sr. Bert started the company with a simple principle that still holds true today: quality work and fair prices.

He knew that his customers deserved to have the job done right the first time and to have it completed when they expected it to be completed. Back then, a man was only as good as his word—that’s why Bert Dorr was dedicated to professionalism, honesty, and hard work.

Spanning Four Generations

Through the years, Bert Dorr’s son, son-in-law, nephews, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren have worked for the company, and we have all followed in his example. Today, Bert Dorr Roofing Company still believes in our founding principles of honesty, quality, fairness and hard work.
