Pete Scudder, founder of Scudder Roofing, started climbing ladders and nailing shingles when he was just out of high school, moving here in 1975 from Walnut Creek with $500 and a dream to be in business. Thirty years later, being a company in one of the fastest growing industries in the world may seem like easy money, but the road to a sun-lit power grid is littered with companies that couldn’t cut it. At Scudder they’ve taken a hands-on, personalized approach to solving their customers sustainable energy needs by doing away with the cookie-cutter photovoltaic systems, opting instead to customize every installation. All of this with zero money down up front. Also cool: He brags about his employees on his website; most have been with Scudder an average of eight years.
