About HG Roofing

Hubert Gockel has been hanging from steeples for as long as he can remember. Born in Germany, he worked for his father, Franz Gockel, while growing up. While apprenticing with his father and brother, he attended the Meisterschule for roofing. Years of training from Master Roofers prepared him to work with slate and tile roofs on buildings that were centuries old.

His art brought him to America where he was hired by Midland Engineering of South Bend as a slater. He quickly rose up the ranks to become the manager of the slate and tile tile division. While training American roofers the art of slate and tile roofing, he worked on many notable projects such as Notre Dame University, Indiana University, the University of Wisconsin and just about every County Courthouse within a 100-mile radius.

About 25 years ago, Mr. Gockel decided to go off on his own to continue his trade. Maintaining a sharp eye for details and quality has proved to be successful for his company as well as his clients.
