Dearborn, MI – May 20, 2017 –

Kearns Brothers, Inc., of Dearborn, Michigan, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Kearns Brothers as one of the “elite of the elite” residential roofing contractors in the United States.

GAF is North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and only GAF Master Elite(R) Contractors can compete for its residential President’s Club Award. To qualify for this award, a residential roofing contractor must demonstrate an exceptional level of excellence in their business, especially in the areas of Installation Excellence, Consumer Protection, and Installer Training.

Kearns Brothers has been a GAF Master Elite(R) Contractor since 1999; the company received the President’s Club Award due to its excellent performance in 2016. To become a Master Elite(R) Contractor–a status that less than 2% of roofing contractors nationwide are able to achieve–a candidate must meet specific criteria in at least one out of three different pathways: the Performance pathway, where contractors focus on giving their property owners the best possible service, quality, and protection; the Reliability pathway, where the contractor has a long history of offering their customers the best quality and protection; and the Service pathway, where contractors consistently offer their customers the best protection available in the marketplace.

The folks at Kearns Brothers are concerned with the safety and security of the customers and their homes. “That’s not a platitude for us; it’s genuine,” according to sales and marketing manager Gary Kearns. “It’s important to all of us, from the people in the office to the crews on the roofs. Sometimes, customers find this hard to believe, because it’s not the norm in our industry.”

A full-service home-improvement company, Kearns Brothers gives that same careful attention to each job it does. “Whether the job is siding, windows, masonry, a kitchen, a bath, or a roof, we know it’s a lead to our next job–either with that same client or as a referral,” explains Kearns. “That level of service is important to us, which is why we have our own in-house customer-service department, as well as five or six crews. This combination of factors allows us to respond quickly to customer needs and to do smaller jobs at great price points.”

Experience and longevity distinguish the company’s crews from those of its competitors. “We have the best, most experienced people installing the best roof–we use only the GAF Weather Stopper Roofing System,” says Kearns. “We have tremendous respect for our crews and the work they do. The reality is that a crew spends far more time at the customer’s home than the salesperson does. Their professionalism ‘transcends’ to a respect for the homeowners and their property. So we put a lot of energy into our crews because, in the end, this GAF award is theirs; they’re the ones who earned it for this company.”

As the past chairman of the Dearborn area Chamber of Commerce, Kearns understands the importance of community involvement. He adds, “In 2014, we raised more than $3,700 for a donation to the Wounded Warrior Project. We also pledged, over the following five years, $5,000 to Cesar Chavez Elementary School in Detroit, in honor of an Army soldier from the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team. This is close to our hearts, because my brother Connor is actually part of that unit in Italy.”

Moving forward, the company is committed to strengthening the legacy of Kearns Brothers and growing the business, including its newest showroom location in Plymouth, Michigan. “It serves our client base better,” says Kearns, “by making it easier for them do business with us; they don’t have to drive so far.”

With younger family members coming on board to join in this family-based enterprise, the future looks bright for Kearns Brothers, and the commitment to customers will remain a priority. “The continuity of the business is strong,” concludes Kearns. “When you combine our marketing strategy with all the services we provide–well, we view it as honor, when we can talk to people about making improvements in their homes. It’s an opportunity for us to create a customer for life.”

Ardmore, PA – May 20, 2017 –

Jim Miller Roofing, Inc., of Ardmore, Pennsylvania, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Jim Miller Roofing as one of the “elite of the elite” residential roofing contractors in the United States.

GAF is North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and only GAF Master Elite(R) Contractors can compete for its residential President’s Club Award. To qualify for this award, a residential roofing contractor must demonstrate an exceptional level of excellence in their business, especially in the areas of Installation Excellence, Consumer Protection, and Installer Training.

Jim Miller Roofing has been a GAF Master Elite(R) Contractor since 2006; the company received the President’s Club Award due to its excellent performance in 2016. To become a Master Elite(R) Contractor–a status that less than 2% of roofing contractors nationwide are able to achieve–a candidate must meet specific criteria in at least one out of three different pathways: the Performance pathway, where contractors focus on giving their property owners the best possible service, quality, and protection; the Reliability pathway, where the contractor has a long history of offering their customers the best quality and protection; and the Service pathway, where contractors consistently offer their customers the best protection available in the marketplace.

A full-service roofing, siding, gutter, and window company, Jim Miller Roofing has grown into a “go-to” company for its many customers in the western Philadelphia suburbs, Delaware, and New Jersey. “Although we have completed many very large commercial projects, we really focus on our residential customers,” says owner Jim Miller. “We never accept deposits for work. We send the invoice only after completion and when we’ve ensured that the customer is completely satisfied.”

The company’s roofers are fully trained by the manufacturers of the products it uses, so every roof is installed to the highest specifications. “To ensure that each roof we work on has been properly installed, management and the manufacturers inspect the final product,” explains Miller. “Because we offer only the best quality materials, customers don’t risk choosing a substandard product. We also pride ourselves on our safe work environment and set strict safety standards at each workplace.” To better service its customers, the company opened a new showroom this year in the heart of the Main Line region.

“We’re certain that our services are above and beyond those of our competition,” says Miller, “and we give prospective customers four reasons for choosing us. First, we have a history of trustworthy service and complete insurance coverage. Second, customers receive from us the quality that they’re paying for. Third, our materials and warranties offer the best possible protection for the customer’s property. Last, there’s no fuss and no hassle–we’re known for our customer service, and that makes choosing the right roofing system a breeze.”

Involved in the community, the company supports the Main Line Rotary Club, Main Line Treats for Troops, Bonner Ice Hockey, Bonner Rugby, and HPKAA Baseball. Jim Miller Roofing is a member of the National Roofing Contractors Association.

The company looks forward to many more years of servicing high-quality residential and commercial projects. “People hire us,” concludes Miller, “because of our reputation, the warranties we offer, and just feeling comfortable knowing that they’ll get quality work from us. Going forward, we’ll be keeping in place the same professional teams and same quality of work.”

Citrus Heights, CA – May 20, 2017 –

Quality First Home Improvement, Inc., of Citrus Heights, California, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Quality First Home Improvement as one of the “elite of the elite” residential roofing contractors in the United States.

GAF is North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and only GAF Master Elite(R) Contractors can compete for its residential President’s Club Award. To qualify for this award, a residential roofing contractor must meet specific criteria in at least one out of three different pathways: the Performance pathway, where contractors focus on giving their property owners the best possible service, quality, and protection; the Reliability pathway, where the contractor has a long history of offering their customers the best quality and protection; and the Service pathway, where contractors consistently offer their customers the best protection available in the marketplace.

Quality First Home Improvement has been a GAF Master Elite(R) Contractor since 2007; the company received the President’s Club Award due to its excellent performance in 2016. To become a Master Elite(R) Contractor–a status that less than 2% of roofing contractors nationwide are able to achieve–a candidate must demonstrate proper licensing, maintain insurance (in states that require it), have a proven reputation, and show commitment to ongoing professional training.

Quality First Home Improvement is, literally and figuratively, on top of every roofing job. “About 25% to 30% of the work we do is roofing, and we use GAF materials exclusively,” according to Gerry Anderson, president. “The Golden Pledge warranty is extremely important to us–every roof is backed by GAF. Every customer is assured of a great job because of the follow-up from GAF, with the post-installation roof inspection, and the security of having a lifetime warranty on the roof.”

Talking about his company’s dedication to customers, Anderson adds: “We have been a Triple Excellence Award winner for the past six or seven years. A contractor doesn’t get that by just going out and bidding on roofs. Our customers get complete explanations of what we do and how we do it. Unless there is an unusual problem with the home, a roof by Quality First will typically be finished within 10 days of the customer making a buying decision.”

Another way that Quality First looks out for customers and provides extra value is by offering roofing-system packages. “When other companies bid on a roof, they charge individually for each component of the roof,” explains Anderson. “What we’ve done is put together three different roofing programs–Standard, Premium, and Vintage packages–each of which includes all the necessary components. By doing it this way, we’re able to discount it and save money for the customers. All of this is done without any worry or additional charge to the customer.”

The company looks out for members of the community, as well. “We work with charitable organizations, such as the Union Gospel Mission, to help provide food for their Thanksgiving and Christmas meals,” says Anderson. “Additionally, I’m a veteran, and I tend to be very close to the service organizations that support veterans. We are big supporters of the Wounded Warrior Project. We also have quite a few veterans working for us and are looking to hire even more, whether for sales, marketing, or installation jobs.”

Going forward, Quality First looks to continue its record of success in northern California and Nevada. “We do home improvements throughout the whole northern half of the state,” concludes Anderson. “We have three roofing service centers–one in the San Jose area, one in the Sacramento area, and one in Reno for northern Nevada. Our goal is to achieve the Triple Excellence Award for each of those areas–and to win the President’s Club Award again!”

About Quality First Home Improvement

“Quality First” is not just a name; it’s a motto and a mission. Taking care of all exterior home-improvements, the company provides ongoing staff training and stays up to date on new products and industry developments. Quality First customers deal with one project manager, who oversees every aspect of the job, and they receive top-of-the-line products with the best warranties in the industry.

Westerville, OH – May 20, 2017 –

Muth & Company Roofing, Inc., of Westerville, Ohio, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Muth & Company Roofing as one of the “elite of the elite” residential roofing contractors in the United States.

GAF is North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and only GAF Master Elite(R) Contractors can compete for its residential President’s Club Award. To qualify for this award, a residential roofing contractor must meet specific criteria in at least one out of three different pathways: the Performance pathway, where contractors focus on giving their property owners the best possible service, quality, and protection; the Reliability pathway, where the contractor has a long history of offering their customers the best quality and protection; and the Service pathway, where contractors consistently offer their customers the best protection available in the marketplace.

Muth & Company Roofing has been a GAF Master Elite(R) Contractor since 1997; the company received the President’s Club Award due to its excellent performance in 2016. To become a Master Elite(R) Contractor–a status that less than 2% of roofing contractors nationwide are able to achieve–a candidate must demonstrate proper licensing, maintain insurance (in states that require it), have a proven reputation, and show commitment to ongoing professional training.

“You don’t want a Frankenstein roof.” Chad Muth, president of Muth & Company Roofing, cuts right to the chase. “The cheapest contractor always has to sacrifice something–in the products used, the quality, the installation, labor costs… I compare it to buying a cheap car from one manufacturer, along with cheap parts from other carmakers, and having an untrained person try to assemble them into a usable car. It’s a downward slope. At Muth, we educate the customers about the difference between that process and a roof that’s put in by a trained crew working with top-quality products and installing exactly the way that’s certified by the manufacturer. It may cost more, but it eliminates mistakes and problems.”

“Our people could almost be called ‘roof counselors,’” explains Muth. “We listen to customers’ problems, get their opinions, and figure out what’s best for them. Some people look for the best price, some for a unique look, some for a solution to a specific roofing problem. For each customer, we assign a Muth representative who is the customer’s liaison to every department here, at every stage of the job. We physically meet with the customers, bringing the warranty paperwork, lien waivers, and other documentation, and we close out the job in person. Our customers know, with certainty, that they’re receiving the attention they deserve.”

The people are critical parts of the equation. “Most employees have been with us for years, up to 18 years,” says Muth. “We’re family owned and operated, and we’re career-oriented. The longer people are with a company, the better their performance is and they become more vested in its success.”

“You want consistency every day,” continues Muth. “With the GAF-certified roofing systems and the Golden Pledge warranty, we have a consistent system where everybody’s on the same page. They’re all trained the same way, and the installations are always done correctly.”

Muth & Company’s level of commitment also extends to the community at large. The company is the exclusive roofer for Habitat for Humanity in central Ohio, donating several free roofs each year. It also supports the Humane Society of Delaware County, Westerville Area Resource Ministry, and local food pantries. “We feel ingrained in the community,” states Muth. “Blessed with more than 20 fabulous years, we want to be good stewards and give back where we can.”

“I tell my people: if you surround yourself with good people, you’ll have a great company,” concludes Muth. “That holds true for us. Our job is to hold ourselves to a higher standard so we can be here for years to come. The customers deserve that.”

About Muth & Company Roofing

Founded in 1992, Muth & Company has an outstanding staff that believes the customer deserves a great product at a fair price. With regular yearly training in installation, safety, product knowledge, and customer satisfaction, Muth & Company installs and repairs roofs, gutters, attic insulation, soffits, and fascia, and it offers a patented care and maintenance program.

Chantilly, VA – May 23, 2017 –

Northern Virginia Roofing of Chantilly, Virginia, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Northern Virginia Roofing as one of the “elite of the elite” residential roofing contractors in the United States.

GAF is North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and only GAF Master Elite(R) Contractors can compete for its residential President’s Club Award. To qualify for this award, a residential roofing contractor must meet specific criteria in at least one out of three different pathways: the Performance pathway, where contractors focus on giving their property owners the best possible service, quality, and protection; the Reliability pathway, where the contractor has a long history of offering their customers the best quality and protection; and the Service pathway, where contractors consistently offer their customers the best protection available in the marketplace.

Northern Virginia Roofing has been a GAF Master Elite(R) Contractor since 2006; the company received the President’s Club Award due to its excellent performance in 2016. To become a Master Elite(R) Contractor–a status that less than 2% of roofing contractors nationwide are able to achieve–a candidate must demonstrate proper licensing, maintain insurance (in states that require it), have a proven reputation, and show commitment to ongoing professional training.

With two divisions (residential and commercial) installing roofing, siding, gutters, windows, and doors, Northern Virginia Roofing is a company that does it all–including helping to replace the roof of the Pentagon after the 2001 terrorist attacks. “It’s not something a lot of people know about us,” according to John Francis, owner and chief executive officer. “It was done at no cost to the taxpayers. Northern Virginia Roofing and other contractors around the country rallied together to restore a national symbol.”

The company has installed more than 40,000 projects since opening for business in 1963. “We’ve been in business long enough to service three generations of a family,” explains chief operating officer of NV Roofing Commercial Services Paul Dow, “and 50% of our business is either repeat or referral. Many of our crew members have been with us for 11 years; we’ve received 31 national awards for training, installation, and consumer protection; and our owner and CEO is a familiar presence on television and radio. We’re a prominent company with a rich history.”

Communication is important at Northern Virginia Roofing. “When a homeowner starts a project with us, we assign a project manager to that customer, so he or she has a direct point of contact,” says Dow. “Nobody ever complains about a lack of communication with us–we over-communicate! Whether it’s an announcement that we’re coming to start the job or a notification that something has changed, the homeowner is always kept in the loop.”

In addition to its contracting services, the company has a separate division that conducts home energy audits. It has also participated in GAF’s Roofs for Troops promotion.

Going forward, Northern Virginia Roofing expects continued growth and success. “We would like to expand our reach,” concludes Dow. “We always want to grow and serve new customers. Our values are foremost in everything we do–as our owner, John Francis, says, ‘We haven’t lived up to our expectations until we’ve exceeded yours!’”
