Alaska’s Trusted Roofer
At General Roofing, we’ve been proudly serving Anchorage, Alaska since 1973 as a family-operated roofing company built on quality, trust, and hard work. With over 50 years of experience, we understand what it takes to install and maintain roofs that can stand up to Alaska’s extreme weather. From residential homes to commercial buildings, our team brings generations of knowledge to every project, ensuring durable results and dependable service that our community can count on.
What sets us apart isn’t just our experience – it’s our commitment to doing the job right and being equipped to handle the unique demands of roofing in Alaska. We operate multiple trucks, a scissor-lift flatbed, and cherry picker equipment that allow us to access tight spaces, navigate steep hillside properties, and work safely around densely packed homes and trees. Whether we’re reroofing a cabin tucked into the Anchorage hillside or installing a flat roof on a commercial building downtown, we have the tools and the expertise to get the job done efficiently and safely.
We take pride in being local, reliable, and focused on long-term solutions – not shortcuts. Our team is known for being responsive, professional, and easy to work with, and we treat every home and property as if it were our own. When you choose General Roofing, you’re not just hiring a roofer—you’re partnering with a family business that’s been keeping Alaskans covered for over five decades.
Professional Affiliations That Define Our Values
General Roofing is proud to be actively involved in several distinguished industry organizations. As members of the National Roofing Contractors Association, we remain at the forefront of best practices and industry standards. Sandra’s leadership and commitment to professional growth are further demonstrated through her membership in the National Association of Women in Construction, where she advocates for advancing opportunities for women in the building trades.
Sandra is also a member of National Women in Roofing, underscoring her passion for supporting diversity, mentorship, and leadership within the roofing profession. Together, these affiliations highlight both our company’s and Sandra’s dedication to excellence, community, and the advancement of the roofing industry as a whole.
Giving Back
We’ve always believed a good roof should do more than keep out the weather, it should lift up our neighbors, too. In years past, we donated two roofs to Lutheran Social Services that were auctioned to support community education for local kids.
These days, our giving focuses on women’s organizations across Anchorage, through donations and project support. It’s our way of saying thanks to the place we call home.
