Our Story

Built on honest work since 2003.

Twenty years of roofs, relationships, and responsibility in the Hartwell community.

How We Started

A family business that grew because of one thing: word of mouth.

Ridgeline was started in 2003 by Tom Harwick, a third-generation roofer who grew up watching his grandfather work the rooftops of Hartwell. Tom believed that roofing done right — with proper materials, honest pricing, and no shortcuts — would always earn its own reputation. Within five years, Ridgeline had grown from a two-man crew to a full residential and commercial operation, built almost entirely on referrals from satisfied homeowners across central Vermont. Today, Ridgeline employs 22 full-time crew members, carries $2M in liability insurance, and holds a Vermont Master Contractor license. We’ve completed over 1,400 roofing projects without a single unresolved complaint.

What We Stand For

Four values. Every job.

01

Honesty first.

We tell you what your roof actually needs — not the most expensive option. Our estimates are itemized, written, and stood behind.

02

No subcontracting.

Every crew member is a Ridgeline employee. We train them, we supervise them, and we’re accountable for their work.

03

Clean site, every time.

Roofing is messy work. We protect your landscaping, remove every nail, and leave your property better than we found it.

04

Stand behind the work.

10-year workmanship warranty on all installs. If something we did causes a problem, we come back and make it right. No arguments.
