Michigan Contractor Wins National Award for Quality
December 17, 2003
American Metal Roofs Inc., of Flushing, Michigan, was recently recognized by Perfection: the Very Best in Building Products in their national newsletter with a Job of the Month award. Perfection is a metal roofing manufacturer in Piqua, Ohio that specializes in residential metal roofing products. The award appeared in the Holiday issue of Perfection's national newsletter, recognizing American Metal Roofs for a high-quality, beautiful installation of its metal roofing products.
The award-winning job was an installation of Country Manor Shake roofing on a home in Dearborn, Michigan. According to Frank Farmer, owner and president of American Metal Roofs, Inc., the project began with the removal of the existing cement tiles. The homeowners chose Country Manor Shake for its heavy architectural profile with deep texture and shadow-lines. The installation also included the use of decorative caps and a vented ridge system for proper attic ventilation.
"Every metal roofing project we do is rewarding in that we get to make a dramatic transformation in the appearance of the home. To be recognized in this way is just the icing on the cake," said Farmer. The metal roofing products American installs are interlocking metal shingles designed to look like wood shakes, tile, slate or shingles. The interlocking shingles are lightweight, wind-tested, energy efficient and durable. They can often be installed over the existing roof without the additional cost and mess of a tear-off, saving money and frustration for homeowners.
"American Metal Roofs is one of our top dealers in the nation and we're proud to recognize them with this award," said Joe Knife, Vice President of Marketing with Perfection. "American, and Frank Farmer in particular, has become the go-to source for expertise in residential metal roofing. They have taken the concept to a new level by systematizing all aspects of the business for maximum efficiency and consistency. They installed over a thousand squares of metal roofing this year with zero complaints," said Knife.
