They had a choice of tearing the wood roof off and redecking, going back with a composition shingle or going back with wood shake. The logical choice was to go with the Gerard roof. If I were a homeowner, this would be a very easy decision. The lead came from a mailer that we do from time to time. Our salesman, Larry Lake, which we feel is one of the best in the industry, presented it to the Bryant family.
Many different companies manufacture residential metal roofing.
First of all there are only a handful of stone-coated steel companies in this market. Our experience has been that Gerard is one of the few metal roof manufacturers that will stand behind its product and not give the owner a hard time. Dealing with Gerard has been a pleasure for HBCI and owners alike. The shake style was chosen because the style was very similar to what was on the existing roof. Gerard comes in a shake or tile profile, with 12 colors to choose from.
