Wolfe is actively involved with his industry’s professional organizations, community groups and with his alma mater.

Wolfe is the director of the Maidencreek Fish & Game Club and served as a director of the South Mountain YMCA. He currently serves on the Seton Hall’s Stillman School’s Advisory Board. Gary has recently been named to Seton Hall University’s Entrepreneur Hall of Fame.
“Gary has been a wonderful leader in the industry for many years and built a terrific company. We are fortunate to have been able to work with Gary following our acquisition a little over a year ago. We look forward to continuing our close relationship with Gary for many years and wish him all the best in retirement”, said Mark Santacrose, Tecta America CEO.
“I’m very pleased to pass the baton off to a strong team of roofing professionals. I’d like to extend a big thank you to Mark Santacrose and Tecta America for providing a great opportunity for the current employees,” said Gary Wolfe, President of Wolfe Roofing and Sheet Metal.

“In the last 9 years working for Wolfe Roofing, Gary has taught me several important fundamentals to running a successful and profitable business, including, the three most important assets in your company are your employees, customers and suppliers,” said Jeffery Koller.
