Sutter Roofing & Metal Co. Inc., established in 1902 in Clarksburg, WV, is one of the oldest and largest roofing and sheet metal contractors in the United States. Founded by Claire Phillip “CP” Sutter, the company has maintained a strong family tradition across four generations, consistently delivering high-quality roofing solutions and exceptional customer service. Throughout its history, Sutter Roofing has adeptly navigated economic challenges, including the Great Depression, by diversifying its services and investing in advanced machinery and training.
Initially focusing on stamped ceiling installations and sheet metal work, the company evolved significantly during the mid-20th century under the leadership of CP’s son, Wilson Sutter, and eventually his grandson, Steve Sutter. This evolution saw Sutter Roofing expand into air ventilation systems and heavy metal fabrication, supporting various industries including mining and oil & gas. The company gained a reputation for handling large-scale projects, such as the construction of the Harrison County Power Plant, propelling it into a major player in commercial roofing.
Embracing new technologies in roofing, Sutter Roofing became a Carlisle and Firestone approved contractor, paving the way for the adoption of EPDM rubber roofing systems—now a staple in modern commercial buildings. Their commitment to quality workmanship and safety has led the company to complete numerous projects across West Virginia and beyond, including educational facilities and healthcare institutions.
Celebrating over a century of excellence, Sutter Roofing is led by Doug Sutter, ensuring that the firm remains focused on quality, reliability, and innovation in roofing services. As they gear up for the next chapter, Sutter Roofing aims to continue meeting the evolving needs of their clients, building on their storied legacy with a bright future ahead.
