Central Roofing Company

What Central Roofing Company does

Central Roofing Company is a family-owned commercial roofing contractor founded in 1992 by Jonathan Townsley and headquartered in Gardena, California. The firm installs, repairs, restores, and maintains commercial roofing systems across five Southern California counties (Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Ventura), supported by seven physical offices that provide local dispatch and 24/7 emergency response. Its customer base skews toward middle-market and enterprise commercial accounts across food and beverage, industrial, media, retail, and real estate verticals, with named clients including See's Candies, Danone, Cacique, 20th Century Fox, Mattel, Guess Jeans HQ, Rexford Industrial, and Valvoline.

The company offers a full envelope of roofing services: new installation, repair, restoration, preventative maintenance inspections (delivered through an 8-point inspection process), skylight installation, and—more recently—solar panel installation preparation as an adjacent service. It has built proprietary product lines including Tropical Cool Elastomeric coatings, Tropical #924 Silicone, and Tropical #921 Acrylic, and reports having completed more than 30 million square feet of cool-roof coatings, alongside warranties of up to 30 years No Dollar Limit (NDL). The firm operates under California contractor's license #684960 and carries a 4.8/5 Google rating across roughly 70 reviews.

Central Roofing generates revenue on a project-based model, with reported roofing system pricing in a range of $3.50 to $14.00+ per square foot and individual project footprints in case studies ranging from approximately 86,500 to 359,500 square feet. Commercial relationships tend to be multi-year (the firm cites a 20+ year relationship with property manager Kitty Lew), and the maintenance inspection program introduces a recurring-service revenue layer on top of the underlying installation work.

Direct peers

• Nations Roof: National commercial roofing contractor focused on installation, repair, and maintenance for industrial, retail, and office properties. Direct overlap on TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, coatings, and preventative maintenance programs.
• Greenwood Industries: Commercial roofing and sheet metal contractor operating across the eastern U.S. Direct overlap in commercial re-roofing, coatings, repair, and maintenance, with a similar mid-size contractor structure.
• Baker Roofing Company: Multi-decade commercial and residential roofing contractor headquartered in Raleigh, NC. Comparable in scale, service mix (installation, repair, restoration, maintenance), and long-tenured family/private ownership model to Central Roofing.
• Chamberlin Roofing & Waterproofing: Texas-based commercial roofing and waterproofing contractor serving multiple states. Comparable mix of new installation, restoration coatings, repair, and maintenance for commercial buildings with regional office density.

Broad incumbents

• Flynn Group: Large North American roofing and building envelope contractor serving commercial customers across the U.S. and Canada. Overlaps with Central's commercial installation, repair, and maintenance services, with substantially broader geographic and capital reach.
• Tecta America: One of the largest commercial roofing contractors in the U.S., operating across all major regions. Provides installation, repair, maintenance, and solar services for commercial and industrial roofs, overlapping directly with Central's service lines but at materially greater scale.
• Tremco Roofing: Major national roofing manufacturer and contractor under Tremco CPG, offering system-level solutions including coatings and single-ply membranes. Competes with Central on large commercial projects but at much greater scale and with vertically integrated materials.

Others

• Henry Company: Building envelope solutions manufacturer including commercial roof coatings, waterproofing, and air barriers. Adjacent to Central's coating/restoration services as a supplier and competing roofing solutions provider for the same customer base.
• GAF: Largest North American roofing manufacturer offering commercial membranes, coatings, and certified contractor networks. Adjacent rather than direct competition; GAF certified contractors include commercial installers like Central and competes for the same end-customer roofing budget.
