Thomas Roofing and Supply builds a legacy through family, quality and community

By Heidi J. Ellsworth.

At RoofersCoffeeShop®, we love highlighting roofing professionals who are helping strengthen their communities. Thomas Roofing and Supply is a great example of that.

Across the roofing industry, family businesses continue to define what it means to serve communities with integrity and commitment. This month, RoofersCoffeeShop® is celebrating a company that was recommended for our Caught Doing Good series by Harvey Sorem, a longtime and respected leader in the Virginia roofing community. Harvey recognized Thomas Roofing and Supply of York County, Virginia, for their longstanding dedication to quality roofing, strong family values and commitment to the community.

Founded in 1973 by Fay and Pat Thomas, the company began with little more than a ladder, a pickup truck and determination. According to a recent York County feature, Pat worked alongside Fay on rooftops in those early days, helping build what would become a highly respected residential roofing contractor and roofing supply distributor serving homeowners throughout the region.

Today, sons Jason and Brian Thomas lead day-to-day operations, continuing the values their parents established from the beginning: hard work, honesty and exceptional customer service. Thomas Roofing specializes exclusively in residential roofing installation, maintenance and repair, a focused approach that Jason Thomas credits for helping the company consistently deliver quality craftsmanship.

The company also stands out for its investment in people. With nearly four dozen employees, Thomas Roofing values loyalty and long-term relationships. One team member, Shawn Sissel, has worked with the company for nearly 40 years, growing from a young crew member into a lead foreman. That kind of employee retention says a great deal about company culture.

Thomas Roofing’s dedication has earned recognition including an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and a 2025 Bronze Award for Best Roofing Company from Coastal Virginia Magazine. Even more inspiring, the next generation is already learning the trade, with Jason’s son Zac becoming part of the family business and continuing the company’s legacy.

At RoofersCoffeeShop, we love highlighting roofing professionals who are making a difference every day and helping strengthen their communities. Thomas Roofing and Supply is truly Caught Doing Good. Special thanks to Harvey Sorum for bringing this outstanding company to our attention.
