Kansas City Roofing Service History – 4th Generation
How many companies (let alone contractors) do you know that have been in business for over 80 years. The Halverson family has been in the roofing business since 1932. In 1932, Jesse Halverson Sr. (my grandfather) started roofing new homes being built throughout Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa. When Jesse Halverson Jr. (my father) was old enough, he was nailing on shingles right beside his dad. My brother and I have been raised in the roofing business, houses, churches, and big old barns in Iowa. My first experience was when I was about 12 years old – I was carrying shingles up a 60 ft wooden ladder to my father as he roofed a church steeple in a small town in Iowa. The last time I was up there, that same roof was still there.
Grandfather passed away in 1969, and shortly after that, we moved to Kansas City and continued in the roofing business under the name of Halverson Roofing. Halverson Roofing continued to operate as a small roofing company until 1980 when my father retired, and I took over the business. I wanted to grow the business from a small residential roofing company into a larger residential and commercial roofing company, so I changed the name to its present name Kansas City Roofing Service.
The company has continued its longstanding tradition of providing the same outstanding service and quality to homeowners and businesses large and small. The company continues to be a family-owned and operated business.
