Who We Are - Farrell Roofing

We Think Long Term

Our company has grown bigger and stronger over the decades by staying true to who we are: bringing our people home safe, delivering uncompromising quality, investing in the business and taking care of our team and communities.

Our company history spans four generations of family ownership and operation. As a family company committed to our people and our industry for the long term, we make decisions based on the next 100 years, not the next quarter.

Prudence and discipline has given us the financial strength to be granted unlimited bonding capabilities which represents the strong foundation our company continues to build upon.

History

1946

Dunkirk Roofing and Siding was founded in 1946 by Albert Farrell, the namesake of what is now Farrell Roofing.

1955

Dunkirk Roofing and Siding did its first commercial roofing job. A seed was planted that would eventually grow into the company we are today.

1968

Dunkirk Roofing and Siding became A.W. Farrell & Son Inc. Bill Farrell took over as the 2nd generation family leader with his eyes on expanding the business.

1971

Farrell Roofing acquired Jameson Roofing in Buffalo, bringing into the fold a company that has been a commercial roofer since 1889. This began our relationship with the Local 74 and our journey to becoming one of the largest commercial roofers in Buffalo.

1971 - 2007

Farrell Roofing expanded to Erie, PA, Cleveland, OH, Las Vegas, NV, and Cincinnati, OH. Partnerships with Local 210 and 12PA in Erie, Local 44 and 33 in Cleveland, Local 162 and 88 in Las Vegas, and Local 42 and 265 have been building ever since.

2016

After a lifetime of service, Bill Farrell passed away marking the end of the 2nd generation of family leadership. Shortly after, John T Farrell took over as the 3rd generation family leader.

In 2016, a new branch was started in Plattsburgh, NY.

2021

After almost fifty years of dedicated service to the commercial roofing industry, John T Farrell retired and passed on the business leadership role to the next generation. John W Farrell leads the business as the President with Marc H Farrell as the Vice President. The two brothers work in tandem to create an environment where all team members are challenged and supported to be successful in their personal and professional endeavors.
