Year in Review 2020
2020 will go down in history as one unforgettable chapter in our lives. Although this year has been challenging, we have been blessed as a company and have much to be thankful for as individuals. We faced many unique challenges in 2020 related to COVID-19, including the limitations of negotiated re-roof budgets and the uncertainty in our market. Our team overcame the obstacles by working together and maintaining a positive attitude and work environment. The pandemic also showed us that our administrative associates could work well remotely and forced us to reevaluate priorities to find balance in the “new normal.”
Reflecting on 2020, we are so grateful to have completed our core value launch before facing these unexpected challenges. These guiding principles lit the way for us during dark times and helped us prioritize what’s most important, ultimately leading to a successful year for our company.

It’s a well-known fact that moisture can lead to damage of materials.
