For more than 270 years, Wilhelm Roth GmbH has shaped the cityscape of Frankfurt – not merely through tiles and slate, but through genuine craftsmanship. Founded in 1751, the company is now the oldest roofing business in the city and stands for reliability, precision, and a spirit of innovation.

Under the leadership of Jens Hackbarth, a certified master tinsmith and business administrator for crafts, the company combines centuries of experience with contemporary solutions for roofing, facade construction, and architectural sheet metal work. Whether pitched roofs, flat roofs, metal roofs, or green roofing systems – all services are provided in-house and without subcontractors, ensuring the highest quality and smooth execution.

The team takes particular pride in its record of zero warranty claims: for over two decades, not a single complaint has been filed – a testament to the care and craftsmanship of the long-serving roofing specialists employed by the firm.

In addition to traditional roofing services, Wilhelm Roth GmbH offers comprehensive solutions in areas such as fall protection systems, roof maintenance, VELUX skylight installations, and facade greening. The in-house sheet metal workshop produces custom metal roofs and decorative elements particularly sought after in the restoration of historic buildings.

Headquartered in Frankfurt-Bergen-Enkheim, the company serves both private and commercial clients throughout the Rhine-Main region. The combination of tradition, technical expertise, and forward-thinking approaches makes Wilhelm Roth GmbH a trusted partner for all roofing-related matters.

To support the acquisition of this long-standing roofing enterprise, Jens Hackbarth received a EUR 50,000 loan in 2013 through the Frankfurter Gründerfonds.
