Parris Roofing was established by Preston Parris in Cleveland, Tennessee in 1955 and has been locally owned and operated ever since. Preston Parris was one of the founding members of the Tennessee Association of Roofing Contractors, founded in 1965. In the beginning, the company primarily worked in built up roofing and sheet metal work.  In time, the company moved into residential, commercial and industrial roofing.  In 1979 Randy Parris, Preston Parris's son, began to run the company and continues to operate the local company from the same building to this day.  The company has continued to grow and employs 55 to 70 workers.

Parris Roofing now has the third generation of management through the employment of David Parris as Sales Manager.
