We justed wanted to share the following unsolicited homeowners testimonial we received today!

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to tell how pleased we are with our new Rustic Shingle metal roofs that were installed by you company in March of this year.  The finished product is better than we expected.  It is a very unique looking roof.  Many people have stopped and commented how nice the roof looks.  Most think its slate or tile and don’t believe it when we tell them it is aluminum.  Folks are really impressed when I show them how the panels interlock and how they are fastened down.  They are also impressed with the fact that now old material went to the landfill and that the new shingles are 95% recycled aluminum.  The 120 mph wind rating also impresses people, especially with all the wind damage in our area the last 10 years.

Some frown when we tell them the cost, the favorite comment, “I can buy a lot of shingles for that money”.  But we like to tell them it’s an investment that we made for the last time.  For less money than a new Suburban would have cost us, we re-roofed 2, yes 2, buildings.  Better yet, our roofs have a lifetime warranty, use no gas, don’t need oil changes, tires, etc., and we will never have to replace it again, unlike a Suburban.

We were very pleased with the efficiency and quality of the work of our installation crew.  They were very knowledgeable of their work and how to install the product.  As you know, on the house the gables were finished with a scalloped edge, every end looks as if it were machine, not hand fitted.  Craftsmanship hasn’t died!!!!  They were glad when they got to the garage as that has the straight gable and ridge finish.  This is a good place for those of you looking for this type of roofing to see both styles of gable and edge finishing techniques in one place.

In closing, the only regret we have is that we didn’t know about Classic Metal Roofing Systems 13 years ago when we installed our LAST asphalt shingle roof!

Sincerely,

Satisfied Wisconsin Homeowners

I am pleased to announce two new members of Team Classic.

Jenny has many years of experience in office management and administrative work.

Mark Thompson is joining us today as Technical Sales Associate. This is the position we formerly called “Building Products Technician” but it is being expanded to now be an official part of our Sales Team. Mark has extensive experience in teaching and training as well as hands-on construction work, design, and blueprint reading. Mark will be learning our systems and his responsibilities will include installation training, updating of manuals, etc., and also working with our sales team with technical support, materials lists, and etc. Our Technical Sales Associate will be part of the “team” we bring to the table in helping build and strengthen new and existing dealers.

Please join me in welcoming these two wonderfully talented and good individuals to Team Classic!

Todd Miller, president of Classic Metal Roofing Systems, was recently chosen to provide several hours of training on residential metal roofing to participating franchisees of the AmeriSpec Home Inspectors program. AmeriSpec is a division of the ServiceMaster Companies based in Memphis, Tennessee.

According to Miller, “This was a great opportunity to expend the awareness and knowledge of metal roofing to a very interested and involved group of home inspection professionals. These folks are seeing more and more metal roofing and they want to know how to recognize a quality metal roof as well as quality installation craftsmanship.”

This is part of Classic’s continued commitment to improve the awareness and professionalism of the residential metal roofing industry. 

We are pleased to announce that Andrea Davidson of Cedar Rapids, Iowa is the winner of a new Classic Metal Roof through the On The House Win A Free Roof Contest. This contest was recently held as part of our sponsorship of the Carey Brothers On The House nationally syndicated radio show.

We will be working with Andrea to choose the roof that will best meet her needs and that roof will be installed later this year by our independent dealer in her area, Les Deal, Inc.

One thing that we learned through the contest was the huge interest in metal roofing that is out there. During the two month registration period, nearly 9,000 homeowners entered the contest.

Classic Metal Roofing Systems recently exhibited in the Green Products 2008 Expo held at the Marriott Marquis in midtown Manhattan. Along with about 70 other businesses, we showed our products to about 300 editors and writers from large and small media companies, primarily magazines and online e-zines.

We stood out from from the crowd of exhibitors a bit by having probably the only product that is a major component of every home. The closest thing to us was floor covering materials. Many of the other products were foods, healthy, and beauty items.

We had the opportunity to speak with representatives from several media. As we told them, our products offer homeowners an opportunity to close the recycling loop in a big way by purchasing a major home component that is up to 95% recycled in content. The energy efficiency, low weight, and sustainability of our products are additional green benefits.
