Parsons Roofing Company

About Parsons Roofing Company

FROM HARDWARE SUPPLY STORE TO COMMERCIAL ROOFING CONSULTANTS

 The Parsons Roofing Company story began almost 100 years ago with Calvin Parsons, great grandfather of present-day owner, Jay Thornton. Calvin and his wife Kate inherited her father’s general store that began in 1876 as a single trading post outside of Lawrenceville, GA. Through hard work and excellent customer service, the family expanded the business and opened several more stores throughout North Georgia.

 Even during the Great Depression, the Parsons stores thrived selling everything an agricultural community needed. From groceries, clothing and dry goods to hardware and building materials, Parsons sold it all. In the 1960s, the building supply division moved to a separate location south of downtown Duluth and was operated by Jay Thornton’s grandfather. One of the Duluth locations mainstays was selling roofing products.

 Present-day Parsons Roofing Company no longer sells roofing products, but instead focuses on the installation, repair, maintenance and restoration of commercial roofs.  The company is co-owned and operated by Jay Thornton, a fifth-generation member of the Parsons Family. There is still one Parsons gift store operating today, owned by fourth generation members of the Parsons family located in Suwanee, GA   

 Today, Parsons Roofing Company accepts jobs across the Southeast, serving as a commercial roofing consultant for commercial roof repairs, restoration, and replacement.   The present-day owners and operators still carry with them the spirit of excellence and entrepreneurship that began with the Parsons stores more than a century ago.
