The History Of Standard Tinsmith & Roofer Supply

It all started in the year 1914 when Louis Goldberg, a relentless visionary, opened up shop on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. His goal was to manufacture and sell quality metal products to new construction and renovation projects throughout the five boroughs. Louis manufactured and sold metal products by day while grooming a team of metal professionals by night at home amongst his family. Louis was proud to bring his son-in-law Sam Fishkind into the business to keep the meaning of family and business alive. Sam kept the same keen focus on quality products and customer service.

The result was Sam’s son Joel Fishkind joining the company in the late 1960s to carry the pride of a multi-generational family business for a third generation. Over Joel’s nearly 50-year tenure, he had a vision of growth and leadership through the best and worst economic times but endured the high and low seas with open sails and stability. Joel’s dedication to his customers and employees made him dually successful.

Where We Are Today

Today, over 107 years later, Louis Goldberg’s core principles of customer satisfaction through quality products and service still run through the DNA at Standard Tinsmith & Roofer Supply Corp. Today, you will find Joel’s son, Scott Fishkind, carrying on the tradition of the family business. As a child, Scott could be found on school breaks, winter and summer, around the warehouse and shop getting his hands dirty on anything he could to learn the metal trade. Whether it was hopping on a forklift, going out on a truck for delivery, or working around the shop, Scott was hands-on since his early teen years. It was after graduating from Hofstra University that Scott joined Standard Tinsmith & Roofer Supply Corp. full-time to put all he had learned from years of working part-time into growing the company in a full-time capacity. It was at this moment that Scott realized there was more to this than just a business; there were three prior generations of success, leadership, and dignity he must uphold with the same great honor they did.
