About IWR | Our Legacy Since 1895

IWR North America has had a rich history of crafting iconic, lasting exteriors, beginning with the founding of Young Roofing Company in St. Louis, MO. Decades of expansion and evolution, including the addition of commercial roofing, industrial siding and mechanical insulation services, IWR has grown into a full-service building enclosure contractor.

Founded on the principle, “provide a quality roof for every customer,” we have evolved but we remain committed to delivering excellence and bringing passion and precision to every detail. Rooted in a legacy we fiercely protect, we help ensure that buildings are timeless, long-lasting and protected from the elements. When your project has to be iconic and lasting – it has to be IWR.
