Hamblet, the founder of Hamblet’s
Roofing Siding & Windows, started his ca-
reer in the roofing and siding industry 24
years ago. Purely by chance he took a sum-
mer job with a local roofing company and
discovered he had a flair and a passion that
has evolved into knowledge of what it
means to provide a top quality installation.
This knowledge is the backbone of Ham-
blet’s Roofing Siding Windows, giving the
company a clear goal to achieve the very
best in service.
Sean Temple, the operations and instal-
lation manager brings with him an exten-
sive knowledge of the industry, and has
always had the desire to help grow the busi-
ness. At an early age, he too learned the in-
tricacies of the business and found he had a
strong desire to make the industry more
consumer friendly. Sean takes pride in his
ability to educate and inform members of
the community on the many facets of their
trade. There is no question too big or too
