Denver, CO – May 25, 2017 –

Premier Roofing Company of Denver, Colorado, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Premier Roofing Company 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.

Premier Roofing Company has been a GAF Master Elite(R) Contractor since 2008; 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.

Premier Roofing was founded in 2005 by Ben McFerron and Chris Tulp with the goal of bringing honesty and dedication to the roofing industry. After working for another roofer, they realized that they could provide better quality and value to customers. “When you buy a roof, you’re taking a huge leap of faith,” according to Tulp. “Regardless of the references, examples of work, insurance, and so forth, you can’t test-drive a new roof before you buy it. The customer relies on the contractor to paint a picture of the experience. When that doesn’t come to fruition, the customer is going to be dissatisfied.”

“We set the right expectations for customers,” adds McFerron. “Competitors promise the world and try to beat us on price. At the end of the day, they provide an experience that’s mediocre at best, because they believe the industry is about over-promising and under-delivering. The company that educates customers with straight talk–an extensive presentation about the process, explaining warranties and liabilities–truly helps homeowners understand why they shouldn’t just settle on the cheapest company with a shady reputation.”

The company offers residential and multi-family roofing services at all locations and commercial services in Colorado. Residential services include free inspections and damage assessments and removal and replacement of asphalt, wood shake, metal, and tile roofs. Commercial clients receive detailed performance reports and project scopes; services include roof design, infrared thermal imaging, maintenance plans, and cost-benefit analyses. In the multi-family part of the business, Premier repairs, replaces, and maintains roofs on apartments, town homes, and multiple single-family homes.

Premier donates time and funds to Wounded Warrior USA and Habitat for Humanity; it also participates in a Holiday Adopt-a-Family program, which provides assistance and support to needy families in the community. The company operates a referral rewards program; current customers can win various prizes for referring new ones. Premier Roofing is a member of the National Roofing Contractors Association, the Colorado Roofing Association, and the Colorado Roofing & Restoration Council and a recipient of the Angie’s List Super Service Award. It maintains an A+ accreditation with the Better Business Bureau.

“Our mantra is ‘a business is only as good as its people’–we believe that hiring good people is paramount to our success,” says McFerron. “We do one thing, roofing, better than anyone else,” adds Tulp. “We can continue to grow inside the industry where we have the most experience by being more aggressive than our competition and maintaining a great reputation. We’ve found our identity, and we improve upon our processes and provide more value to an increasing number of customers every year.”

Southfields, NY – May 25, 2017 –

Precision Roofing, Inc., of Southfields, New York, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Precision 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.

Precision Roofing has been a GAF Master Elite(R) Contractor since 1998; 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.

A customer searching for a roofing contractor wants a professional company that is well recognized and has received positive reviews, according to Nick DeMatteo, founder and owner of Precision Roofing. “We work hard to get those reviews,” he says. “Prospective customers want to be assured that the contractor knows the ins and outs of the products they’re working with, both the strengths and the shortcomings. So they hire a professional roofing company like ours that is capable of doing the work and satisfying the customer.”

The increasing ease with which consumers can research a company’s reputation is beneficial to a contractor that has a great reputation, such as Precision Roofing. “The ability for people to find us online has been a great asset,” states DeMatteo. “People are able to look us up–on our web page, on GAF’s website, on Facebook. That gives us a lot of credentials. Customers can also research our A rating on Angie’s List and our A+ accreditation with the Better Business Bureau.”

Serving exclusively New York’s Hudson Valley area and Bergen County in New Jersey, the company prides itself on building partnerships with its customers. “When customers call,” says DeMatteo, “we want them immediately to sense that they’ve found the right company and that we appreciate their business. Because we are a roofing contractor for both residential and commercial properties, we’re able to help everyone. Pitched, flat, or slate roof, slate or ceramic tile, composite tile … it doesn’t matter. We have the training and the expertise to do it all. Additionally, we’re licensed with more than 16 different manufacturers to install their products, so we can offer warranties that other contractors cannot.”

Precision Roofing gives back to the community by sponsoring Little League teams and working with veterans. “A few years back,” says DeMatteo, “we put on a roof for an Army veteran in coordination with GAF and Orange County Choppers. We had a lot of fun, and it felt good to contribute in that capacity.” The company also participates in GAF’s Roofs for Troops program and is a GAF Certified Green Roofer(TM).

Solar is a growing division at Precision; it is the only contractor in the Hudson Valley to offer customers a choice of solar shingles or solar panels. “We’re very excited about that; it’s a really fast-growing market,” explains DeMatteo. The company also participates in a certification program with DaVinci for its PVC slate tiles.

Looking forward, the company is “not afraid to grow,” concludes DeMatteo. “We’re branching out to new products, taking on the solar products. But we also look to reach out to new customers and untapped market segments–and we’ll achieve that, because there is no roofing system or situation that we can’t handle.”

About Precision Roofing

Serving New York’s Hudson Valley and Bergen County in New Jersey, Precision Roofing has installed more than 7 million square feet of roofing under every circumstance. Fully insured, Precision also provides asbestos abatement, moisture detection, preventative maintenance, and emergency repairs.

Virginia Beach, VA – May 25, 2017 –

Paramount Builders, Inc., of Virginia Beach, Virginia, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Paramount Builders 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.

Paramount Builders has been a GAF Master Elite(R) Contractor since 2012; 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.

Paramount Builders is a classic “local boy makes good” story. In 1991, owner Ed Augustine started the company from his apartment. “He grew the business as he saw fit,” according to sales and marketing assistant Katie Wylie. “He borrowed a small amount of money, and started the company,” adds Bob Shackford, vice president of operations. “Ed was working for another remodeling company at the time but didn’t like the way they did things–he wanted to set a higher standard. And Paramount Builders was born. He chose that name because he wanted it to be the pinnacle of the industry.”

Since then, Paramount has grown into a multimillion-dollar company with seven locations in Virginia. “We’re the largest home-improvement company in the state,” says Shackford. “Having multiple locations enables us to cover a vast territory. We have the name recognition and relationships with the customers–they know they can call us, and we’ll still be around down the road. We have longevity as a business and an established management team, including several employees that have been with us from day one.”

Paramount is deeply involved in organizations across the state. “The owner makes it a priority to give back to the community,” says Wylie. “For example, we did a social media drive in 2014–we gave away $5,000 to five charities selected by fan votes on our Facebook page. We donated to the Virginia Wounded Warrior program, the Wish-a-Fish Foundation in Tidewater, Hope Charitable Services in Portsmouth, Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters hospital in Norfolk, and NAMI.” Also supporting local churches, homeless shelters, and children’s sports teams, Paramount has provided a new scoreboard and jerseys for the Lynnhaven Little League.

The company is involved with professional organizations, including the National Association of Home Builders, the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, Virginia Association of Professional Roofers the Home Building Association of Richmond, and the Tidewater Builders Association. At all locations, Paramount maintains an A+ accreditation from the Better Business Bureau; it has been recognized as “Best Place to Work” in Hampton Roads and has won multiple “Best of the Beach” awards.

The future looks bright for Paramount, with continued growth and expansion into new territories. “We’re looking into the western part of Virginia, and we’re growing in the northern part of the state,” says Shackford. He concludes: “We went into this business with a goal, all those years ago. We were babes in the woods, but we continued to do the right things and learned to make the wrong things right. We’ve continued to grow since then, because of our employees, installers, and relationships with established manufacturers.”

About Paramount Builders

The Mid-Atlantic’s leading provider of replacement windows, vinyl siding, trim, roofing and doors, Paramount Builders maintains the goal of establishing the highest standard of excellence in the industry. Not only does Paramount sell the finest exterior remodeling products, but its family, its reputation, its commitment to excellent customer service–before, during, and after installation–and its products are backed by the best warranties in the industry.

Paramount Builders, Inc., of Richmond, Virginia, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Paramount Builders 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.

Paramount Builders has been a GAF Master Elite(R) Contractor since 2012; 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.

From humble beginnings in 1991, Paramount Builders has grown into a statewide, full-service, home-improvement company, with the resources to handle jobs quickly. “Most people are surprised that we can turn around a roof installation in one day,” according to Bob Shackford, vice president of operations. “After we obtain the contract, it’s processed and scheduled for installation within a matter of weeks. Typically, the crew is on-site early in the morning; by late afternoon, they’re rolling out, and the customer has a brand-new roof. Every roof we install carries GAF’s Golden Pledge warranty.”

“Our size works to our benefit,” adds sales and marketing assistant Katie Wylie. “We have physical buildings in multiple regions–most roofers work from their trucks–and different crews for specific products. For example, we don’t have a window crew installing roofs; that job is reserved to our GAF-trained roofers.” Adds Shackford: “Our roofers go through semi-annual training to maintain their certifications, from the crew chief to each installer. The sales force undergoes continual training as well; everybody here is kept abreast of what’s happening in the industry.”

Paramount is deeply involved in organizations across the state. “The owner makes it a priority to give back to the community,” says Wylie. “For example, we did a social media drive in 2014 and gave away $5,000 to five charities selected by fan votes on our Facebook page. We donated to the Virginia Wounded Warrior program, the Wish-a-Fish Foundation in Tidewater, Hope Charitable Services in Portsmouth, Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters hospital in Norfolk, and NAMI.” Also supporting local churches, homeless shelters, and children’s sports teams, Paramount has provided a new scoreboard and jerseys for the Lynnhaven Little League.

The company is involved with professional organizations as well, including the National Association of Home Builders, the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, Virginia Association of Professional Roofers, the Home Building Association of Richmond, and the Tidewater Builders Association. At all locations, Paramount maintains an A+ accreditation from the Better Business Bureau; it has been recognized as “Best Place to Work” in Hampton Roads and has won multiple “Best of the Beach” awards.

Moving forward, Paramount will continue to grow while maintaining relationships with communities, with workers, and even with other contractors. “We can’t do everything,” explains Shackford. “If the customer needs insulation and walls, we’ll recommend the job to a reputable contractor that we know. When contractors work toward the goal of growing the market with quality, it helps everybody. We maintain that professionalism and responsibility with everyone.” Concludes Wylie: “Since we brought on roofing, we’ve continued to improve, and now it’s a leading product line. The sky is the limit!”

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.

On Top Of It has been a GAF Master Elite(R) Contractor since 2004; the company received the President’s Club Award due to its excellent performance in 2016.

A successful home-improvement project begins with the choice of a qualified contractor. On Top Of It owner Dominic Pagnozzi wants to help customers choose the right professional for roofing repair and replacement. “Pictures of recently done roofs are nice to look at,” he explains, “but it’s the details underneath that keep the water out of a home. At On Top Of It, we walk the customer through all the important details of a sound roofing system. More often than not, it is not the shingles that cause the leaks–it’s faulty workmanship, a lack of knowledge, or incorrect installation procedures and products.”

With an unflinching commitment to quality, On Top Of It offers services in roofing, siding, windows, kitchens, bathrooms, dormers, and extensions. “When managed by a good general contractor,” explains Pagnozzi, “these services can be delivered quickly and affordably.

“Whether it’s a one-time job or an ongoing service needed to keep the home in great shape, customers can trust us to get the job done efficiently and affordably,” concludes Pagnozzi. “Our professional service and experience will ensure that customers’ home-improvement projects go smoothly and are completed quickly, without putting a big dent in the budget.

Oreland, PA – May 25, 2017 –

Russell Roofing of Oreland, Pennsylvania, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Russell 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.

Russell Roofing has been a GAF Master Elite(R) Contractor since 1998; 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.

Many contractors have worked at the sites of historic landmarks and pinnacle properties, but only a select few have done work at the White House. Russell Roofing is one of those few. “We did some custom copper work there; a tree had fallen on an 1850s lantern near one of the entrances,” explains Ron Hall, sales manager. “We couldn’t use any new materials–we had to use the existing copper, refabricate the piece, and put it back together. It was a unique and fun project for us.”

Russell Roofing could work on a historic artifact because the company does more than just roofing. “We do everything on the exterior of a building,” explains Hall. “Fiber-cement siding, vinyl siding, windows, masonry, cedar shakes and cedar craft work, and roofing–we do it all.”

The company has won five national awards from the National Roofing Contractors Association. “We really try to get feedback from our customers, to ensure that we’re always doing the right things,” says Hall, “and we’re always achieving 100% satisfaction ratings from them. Our approach is not that we’re a roofing company; rather, we consider ourselves a customer-service business that happens to do roofing and exterior projects.”

In addition to satisfying customers, Russell Roofing gives back to the community. The company partners with GAF’s Roofs for Troops program; it also participates in community days throughout the Philadelphia area and does volunteer work with local churches. “We sponsor baseball and other athletic teams in the community,” adds Hall. “And we reroofed the clubhouse of the Horsham Soccer Association.”

Going forward, Russell is extending its in-house capabilities. “Our production manager elevates the fit and finish on our jobs, ensuring that customers are satisfied when we do final walkthroughs,” says Hall. “We also have a specialist for siding windows–someone with both a construction and a design background. Having a designer on staff helps customers to best determine the look they want for their homes.”

One last thing sets this company apart. Many contractors obtain the bulk of their business through referrals–but Russell Roofing gets referrals from other contractors. According to Hall, “When other contractors don’t know how to approach a job, they bring us in. Sometimes, the other roofer is scratching his head, but he knows Russell can take care of it. We’re a referral-based company, and that’s the reason people hire us: we’re the expert in roofing and exteriors.”

About Russell Roofing

Russell Roofing was established in 1992 and has had more than 20,000 customers. All employees are drug-screened, trained, and fully insured for customers’ protection. Following all manufacturers’ specifications and recommendations, Russell provides a full warranty that includes workmanship. A consistent focus on safety, quality, and customer service has made Russell Roofing one of the top 100 remodeling contractors in the United States.
