Harbor Construction Company

What Harbor Construction Company does

Harbor Construction Company, legally Harbor Companies, Inc., is a family-owned commercial roofing and construction contractor founded in 1981 and headquartered in Painesville, Ohio. The company operates through three wholly-owned sub-brands: Vale Roofing, Harbor Roofing, and Harbor Construction, with a secondary office in Old Town, Florida. It serves commercial property owners and businesses throughout the Eastern United States, spanning territories from Maine to Florida and west to Mississippi.

The company delivers a broad portfolio of commercial building envelope and construction services. Core roofing capabilities cover EPDM, TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, hot asphalt, built-up roofing (BUR), metal, standing seam, shingle, and sheet metal systems, supported by in-shop and mobile sheet metal fabrication. Adjacent service lines include general contracting and project management for new commercial construction, pre-fabricated steel building erection, asphalt driveway and parking lot services, and commercial vinyl tile floor maintenance. The company markets certifications from NRCA, the Ohio Roofing Contractors Association, USGBC LEED, and BBB, and offers a structured maintenance program with priority-based budgeting and warranty documentation.

The revenue model is primarily project-based and quote-driven, with one-time project revenue from roof installation, reroofing, repairs, and new construction contracts. The company pursues direct enterprise field sales to commercial clients, supported by a client/contractor web portal. Maintenance and floor-care services introduce an element of recurring professional services revenue. Ownership is concentrated with the founding family (Terry Vale serves as President), with no disclosed institutional capital, and the firm completed the Goldman Sachs Small Business Initiative. Headcount is in the 11-50 range; revenue is not publicly disclosed.
