The Hamlin Companies

What The Hamlin Companies does

The Hamlin Companies is a privately held, family-owned specialty contractor founded in 1954 and headquartered in Garner, North Carolina, with a sheet-metal fabrication facility in Benson, NC. The company delivers commercial roofing installation, reroofing, maintenance, and repair services (EPDM, TPO, PVC, bitumen, standing-seam metal, and roof coating systems) together with custom ductwork manufacturing (spiral round, flat oval, rectangular, and welded industrial ducts) and custom architectural sheet-metal fabrication. Operations are organized through four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Hamlin Roofing Company (installation), Hamlin Roofing Services (maintenance and the TRAC Total Roof Asset Care portal), Hamlin Sheet Metal (ductwork manufacturing), and Hamlin Fabricated Metals (architectural sheet metal).

The underlying technology includes over 100,000 square feet of fabrication space equipped with computer-aided design, shearing, press-brake forming, folding, coiling, panel forming, punching, welding, and plasma-burning equipment, plus a 107 kW on-site solar power system installed at Benson in 2008. The TRAC Portal extends the roofing business into recurring service revenue via scheduled inspections, preventative maintenance tracking, leak investigation, roof grading, and tenant coordination across Android, iOS, Windows, and Blackberry apps. Hamlin is authorized to install and warranty work for over 25 national roofing manufacturers and complies with SMACNA and ASHRAE ductwork standards.

Revenue is generated through two intertwined streams: project-based commercial roofing services (new construction, reroofing, emergency repair, architectural metal roofing) sold directly to building owners, property managers, and general contractors across the Southeast U.S., and ductwork/sheet-metal product sales distributed nationally through territory-specific manufacturer representative firms to mechanical and HVAC contractors. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the company offers a 24/7/365 emergency repair line. Major customers include Boeing (787 Assembly Plant), Bank of America, IKEA, Red Hat, the IRS, the NASCAR Hall of Fame, and several UNC and Duke facilities, with the firm consistently ranked by ENR and RSI as a top specialty contractor.
