Hannah Vogel, 28

Hannah Vogel never expected she’d be in roofing. She originally set out to be a lawyer, but her friend James Hartney, a structural engineer, convinced her to go into the roofing and construction business with him.

After Hartney was tragically killed in a car accident in 2022, Vogel — with a lot of soul searching — decided to keep going with the roofing business. She still draws on a lot of what Hartney taught her, both about roofing itself and the possibilities for women in the construction industry.
