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.

Change changes things. When we began installing roofs in 1909 we used a horse drawn carriage. We use trucks now. They're easier than horses. A lot more has changed since then, too.

We've committed to staying well educated in our field to provide you with the soundest shield for your home.

Water is the enemy. From its dark fortress high above, it plots to rip your hard-fought comfort from underneath you and your home. Your gutters are supposed to be a vital defense against the ravages of water's onslaught against your foundation. Water can't leak in, settle and freeze or do any of its merciless worst if it can't get close enough. Some gutters, sadly, are designed to abandon their duty. William C. Rott & Son can help. Whether you need gutter repairs, gutter cleaning or just need new gutters altogether, we've got great products as well as the experience and knowledge that put our gutter system to work.

It's not dirt and it's not defective shingles. It's black algae that grow on the north side of your roof where the sun hits less and where moisture hangs around. The algae also feed on part of the filler in your shingles. This makes your roof a great home for them. If algae is your only problem, you don't have to replace your roof to make it look great again. Clean it for a fraction of the cost. It's a quick process, completely safe for you and your home.

Pitch, prevailing wind and weather, existing airflow and ventilation, potential moisture and mold damage - these are only a few key factors to consider when designing a roofing system that shields and lasts. The right people doing it the right way. It's possible to use the right products the wrong way. Every single person on your job is our direct employee. By refusing to subcontract we can guarantee your roof will be installed expertly and will last longer. That's why all our homeowners receive a 20 year transferable workmanship warranty.

You stand there now, admiring the youth of your "replacement" windows. They look pretty good, too. Too bad that you'll probably be replacing your "replacement" windows sooner than you expected. Many "replacement" windows last an average of 3-5 years before they begin to fail. We know because we routinely replace them. They become difficult to operate, look haggard and don't perform efficiently. Yes, the quality of the materials is important but the workmanship involved in installation is crucial for the window to open and close properly and maintain its energy efficiency.
