Our story
One flatbed, two ladders, 2004
Gable was not planned. It grew one customer at a time, and every turn it took was somebody asking for something the firm had not done before.
How we got here
Twenty years, seven turning points
None of these was a plan. Every one of them was a customer asking for something we had not done before.
2004
One flatbed and a yard behind Spintex
Kwabena Boadu and two fitters, working mostly on referral from a hardware shop that liked how they left a site.
2008
The first commercial contract
A furniture showroom on the Spintex Road, re-sheeted at night. The night-shift habit the firm is now known for started here, out of necessity.
2011
Long-run rolling brought in-house
A site roll-former, so a thirty-metre slope stopped needing a lap joint. Most of the leaks we had been called back to were lap joints.
2014
The written guarantee
Fifteen years on workmanship, printed on the back of every quote. Two competitors told us it was commercial suicide; the phone rang more, not less.
2017
The maintenance round
A Tema estate asked us to look at thirty roofs a year instead of one at a time. It is now a quarter of what we do and the part we are proudest of.
2021
The covered store
Coil and tile bought direct and kept out of the sun, which took four weeks off the average job and a good deal of argument out of pricing.
2026
Four crews, twenty-six people
Two of the four foremen started here as apprentices. The rule about never quoting a roof you have not stood on has not changed since 2004.
What has not changed
The same trade, done slower
Roofing has had very few genuine innovations in twenty years. Coatings are better, fixings are better, and a roll-former on site removed a whole class of leak. Everything else is a person on a ladder taking the time to get a flashing right.
So we have not tried to get faster. We have tried to stop coming back — which is a different objective, and it is the one that has kept the phone ringing since 2004.

Still worth asking
Three things twenty years has not made obvious to anybody ringing for the first time.
Ask us anything What types of client do you work with?
Households, landlords, managing agents, schools and clinics, and four developers we sub-contract sheeting for. About two thirds of what we do in a year is a single house.
Which areas do you cover?
Greater Accra and the Tema corridor as standard, and Kasoa, Nsawam and Aburi for anything over a hundred square metres. Beyond that we will still come out, but the travel is on the quote and you will see it there.
How do you guarantee design quality?
Fifteen years on workmanship and up to thirty on the sheet, both in writing, plus a free inspection at twelve months. If a fixing we made leaks inside that window we come back at our cost.
