Our History

Moments That Have Defined Our Craft

2020
Weld Ladder Co. is Established

Founded in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, Welch Ladder Co. was built to meet a growing need in the roofing industry. We recognized that homeowners deserved more than just a properly built roof—they needed a partner who could communicate clearly with insurance professionals and guide them through difficult times. From the very beginning, our mission has been to restore safety and peace of mind to every client we serve.

2021
Introduction to Retail

As we grew, we began to see a challenge many homeowners faced: not every roof issue was tied to major storms. In regions without yearly weather events, roofs often deteriorated slowly from age and wear—costs that insurance didn’t always cover. To bridge this gap, we expanded into cost-effective retail solutions, making high-quality roofing accessible to homeowners who needed affordable options outside of insurance claims.

2024
Hurrican Beryl

When Hurricane Beryl struck Houston in 2024, it left widespread damage and displaced countless families. Because of the systems and processes we had already built, our team was able to respond quickly, helping hundreds of Houstonians repair their homes and regain a sense of normalcy. This moment solidified our commitment to being there when our community needs us most.

2025
Commercial Coatings Expansion

This year, we’ve expanded into commercial roofing with Conklin’s industry-leading coating systems. These high-performance coatings extend the life of commercial roofs, improve energy efficiency, and provide a seamless waterproof barrier—saving building owners money while reducing downtime. By adding commercial coatings to our services, we continue to innovate and deliver long-term value to both homeowners and businesses across Texas.
