The Kyle Company Roofing Legacy

In 1923, Harry Kyle saved enough money from each paycheck to buy Central Roofing Company. With the experience he gained working there, along with two ladders, a large black kettle, and a truck, Harry set out on his own. Central Roofing would be responsible for maintaining or roofing some of San Luis Obispo County's most well-known landmarks, beginning with the Motel Inn, which is recognized as the world's first motel. Later projects included Hearst Castle, Camp San Luis, Cal Poly and many others. In the late 1920s, Harry renamed his business Kyle Roofing Service and then Kyle Company Roofing. Harry's son, Gale, took over the business when he was just 20 years old.

Gale and his wife, Mary, worked very hard to carry on the family name into the next century. Now Gale and Mary's daughter Kathi, and her husband Kenny, are at the helm. Kathi is in her 26th year in the family business. We honor Harry and Gale's legacy by providing the highest quality service and integrity. Harry would be proud to know after 90 years, his company is still family owned and operated.
