History - William C. Rott & Son

History

The year was nineteen o’ nine - On Roof

The year was nineteen o’ nine

Teddy Roosevelt was president. The Lincoln penny was minted for the first time and a young man from North Collins began a home improvement business.  That young man was Jay Rott, founder of what is now William C. Rott and Son.  Back in nineteen o’ nine Jay Rott was putting on roofs made out of wooden shingles.  His tools were a hammer and nails and a horse drawn carriage. Over a hundred years have passed and we’re still here.  We’ve been fortunate to be present at every significant stage of roofing progress and have been shielding homes across Western New York the entire time.  We’ve witnessed every technology change in the industry and, in most cases, were the first to implement them.  From ice shield to shingles to valleys to the way the roof is installed.  Windows, doors, siding and insulation have all been added to our arsenal to provide a truly integrated home shielding system.  There is no other team in Western New York that builds a shield for your home like William C. Rott and Son..
