GSM Roofing dates back to 1946, when Fred Gooding decided to pursue his dream of starting a roofing company. He moved from Philadelphia to Lancaster, PA and sold his car to pay for his first job materials. Fred hitchhiked to his jobsites until Bill Simpson - and his truck - joined the business venture.
Fritz Mackes, a sheet metal mechanic, soon joined the duo and the Gooding, Simpson & Mackes roofing company was born. After returning from Vietnam in 1969, Fred Gooding's son, John, joined the company. Of the three founding families, John is the only member of the second generation to work in the business full-time.

Three GSM employees with logo shirts, driving a GSM logoed truck, were maskless in the convenience store I visited this morning, despite a BIG FAT SIGN requesting a mask as a condition of entering. If they are so thoughtless about others in public, I would not trust them to do my roof. "I do not care about you" was embossed across their foreheads.
