Kroeck and Son's Roofing
Company Overview
High-quality slate and standing seam copper roofing installation, inspection, and/or maintenance. We are Ray along with his son Justin, German-trained master slate roofers, and C39 licensed roofing contractors in California.
Kroeck and Son's is a family-operated roofing business that began in 1885 in Giessen, Germany by Philipp Kroeck and his son, Karl. Philipp was a ""Dachdeckermeister,"" which means ""master roofer."" In Germany, this involves attending trade school, then demonstrating expertise in the field to obtain the certificate and title of master. Karl later earned his master certification and continued the family business with his son, Karl Jr. Karl Jr. also obtained his master certification and eventually decided to bring the roofing business to America. In 1959, Karl Jr. moved his family to Colorado and revived the business. Today, the family tradition endures and is presently operated by Karl Jr.'s son, Reimund Kroeck.
Reimund (Ray) has over 30 years of experience in the industry and excels in several roofing specialties. Ray is now assisted by his son, Justin, who represents the fifth generation of the Kroeck family tradition. Ray and Justin are certified master slate and copper roofers and take pride in tackling challenging projects that demand a high level of skill and artistry.

Recommended Customer Reviews
Bob E.I can't say enough good things about Ray, Justin and their expert team of craftsman. In 2013, Ray and Justin replaced our ancient failed roof with a beautiful new slate roof with copper gutters and downspouts. We are delighted with the results, and would happily serve as a reference for them. Ours is the third of four roofs that Ray has installed on our street - and I imagine that others in our neighborhood will follow suit at some point.
During the proposal phase, Ray was very patient and thorough, explaining each step of the project in advance. Before we committed to the project, he created a sample board of colors / patterns of slate. We loved it, and made no revisions (a rarity in our house!). When we got underway, Ray and Justin went out of their way to minimize the disruptions to our neighbors and us. Our house is almost 90 years old, and we uncovered a few surprises that Ray could not have foreseen. He modified his proposal very fairly to accommodate the extra structural work we needed to do, with little to no mark-up. Over and over, he did lots of little extra things at no incremental charge to us because it was the ""right"" thing to do (e.g., installing expansion joints in an inaccessible part of our roof, to replace some old putty that painters used 20 years ago).
Ray and Justin are incredibly meticulous, ensuring that each slate and each detail are 100% perfect. And I mean perfect. Example: Ray rejected a very high percentage of the slate (from Vermont) because it didn't meet his exacting standards. The slate company replaced the material with a fresh batch at no extra cost to us. As a result, we trust that our roof will have integrity for decades to come.
Did I mention the copper work? Our gutters can now withstand torrential rains with absolutely no risk of overflowing, and they look spectacular.
If you're thinking about a new roof, and slate is a consideration, I encourage you to talk to Ray.
