How We Started

 Since its birth in 1948, Riverside Roofing has become a name synonymous with integrity, innovation and reliability. Over 72 years ago, founders Steve Zold Sr. and Alf Prince had a dream - although vision is probably a better word for it - of starting their own roofing company to serve the needs of the expanding Windsor-Essex community. 

With very little money and growing families, the odds seemed stacked against them. This was nothing new to Steve Sr. of course, having immigrated to North America, alone and penniless at the age of eleven. Nor to Alf, a fighting veteran of the 2nd World War. These were self-made men, and true believers in the Canadian dream. Here - with a little hard work - a man could achieve anything. 

Built on the rock-solid foundation of integrity and honest-to-god hard work, Riverside Roofing quickly became a trusted and reliable name in the region. Steve and Alf’s dream had come true, and in the years ahead, they were proud to pass the reins into the capable hands of their successors and sons, Steve Zold Jr. and Bill Prince.

With feet planted firmly in their father's proven legacy, and eyes on the future, Steve Zold Jr and Bill Prince took the business to new heights - expanding into multiple sectors and becoming the first to bring innovative, new roofing technologies to the Windsor-Essex region.

The rest, as they say, is history. With sights still set on the future, and a team of the most experienced professionals, Riverside Roofing is proud to provide not only the best in innovative roofing technologies, but service built on the timeless principles of reliability and integrity that it was founded on 72 years ago.
