Learn about what makes Vanguard great from the people who make it that way!
The first day on the job for me was a learning experience. Service to the customer is what the message passed along was. It was then and still is now. What the management taught and emphasized over and over was the strength of the relationship you build by focusing on the needs of the individual customers and what you, as a company, need to do to make sure your company is the one they call when a problem develops.Rodney Rouse, Senior Estimator
Working for Vanguard has been a lifetime of client satisfaction, integrity, and personal growth.

Over the years being promoted from bookkeeper to office manager to Operations Manager, I have seen these fundamental beliefs allow Vanguard to grow into the commercial, industrial, and institutional roofing company we are today.Jo-Ann Longobardi, Operations Manager
Never would I have imagined I would love this profession as much as I do. I wake up every morning, eager to face new challenges with fresh insight into solving our customer’s roofing problems.

The solution we bring to every roofing obstacle, plus the value we bring to each project, is highly regarded by our many customers.Frank Z. Algier, Quality Control Manager
