aucier Brothers Roofing, which spans three generations, was founded in 1945 by Clement Saucier and his two brothers, Cotton and Bennie. The seed money for the new business was
saved by Clement while he served in the
U.S. Army in Europe during World War II. While there, Clement took part in the
invasion of Normandy and later was awarded the Bronze Star. The company started
out crafting sheet metal conveyors, fuel tanks and shelling equipment (called
"shrimp pickers" ) for the Mississippi Gulf Coast shrimping industry.
Widespread damage to sheet metal roofing caused by the hurricane of 1947
prompted Saucier Brothers to focus their attention on metal roofing repairs and
installation. This would set the trend for the next fifty plus years for Saucier
Brothers Roofing.
In the early sixties Clement’s son "C.B." Clement Saucier joined the company’s roofing division. From the sixties to the late nineties, Saucier Brothers purchased and installed standing seam and other types of manufactured metal roofing for a growing list of commercial clients throughout the Mississippi Gulf Coast region. "Clemmie" Clement Saucier, who represents the third generation of Sauciers, joined the company shortly after graduating from college. When Berridge called on the company to introduce its "Total Program" concept of using painted coil and portable roll formers to custom fabricate continuous length standing seam panels, Saucier Brothers quickly grasped this technology to enhance their roofing service and increase their market share. By exercising a greater degree of design and manufacturing control through the use of site-forming standing seam panels, Saucier Brothers has established a reputation as an innovative and trusted supplier of Berridge standing seam roofs for even the most challenging projects.
"Berridge’s portable roll former technology has put us in control of the fabrication of roofing panels so we can get the job done on time, and done right the first time."
Clemmie SaucierToday, Saucier Brothers Roofing owns and operates three Berridge precision tolerance portable roll former machines and employs state of the art computerized takeoff and estimating digital software. In addition, Saucier Brothers has established the reputation for doing the job for the right price and doing it right the first time. As Clemmie Saucier puts it, "Berridge’s portable roll former technology has put us in control of the fabrication of roofing panels so we can get the job done on time, and done right the first time."
