GAF Announces Lifetime Limited Warranty.

A Loved One Will Be Missed

roofmax — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 22:43:43 +0000

As many of you have heard our CEO and President Jon Aikele passed away on Wednesday, December 29, 2010. We greatly appreciate all the tokens and words of consolation that we have received. Jon was a very generous man both personally and professionally and he will be greatly missed. While we are all reeling from this loss, we are also taking steps to insure that his vision for the company is not lost. We would like to thank all the Roofmax employees, for their loyalty and dedication during this difficult time.

Sincerely,

The Aikele Family

Even Seattle is Going Solar

roofmax — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 10:24:49 +0000

So many industries are going solar. The interesting part about this article is that even in Seattle where it is cloudy 201 days of the year, they are installing solar panels and generating their own electricity. This article talks about how it doesn’t really matter how much sun your area gets, you can still benefit from generating your own energy through solar panels.

Here is the article link: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5g58_wEY4JKhZ5JcDAK0bONKbHNvAD9IN2T7O0?docId=D9IN2T7O0

Benefits of a Family Business

roofmax — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 21:06:05 +0000

This article discusses the benefits of owning and operating a family business. It was appealing to us, because Roofmax has been family owned and operated for almost 24 years. Jon and Timme started the business in 1987. All three of their children have worked with the business at some point or another. And although the business has grown to beyond family, Roofmax is a family in itself.

Khol’s is going solar!

Here is an article showing how Khol’s is going solar! They plan to be completely carbon neutral by the end of 2010. Inspiring isn’t it? It is amazing how much their business is saving on electrical costs by generating their own electricity: $50 million! You can save, too.

Testimonial From a Very Happy Customer

roofmax — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 18:59:45 +0000

We received this letter in the mail today. It is so nice to hear from our customers about their experience with Roofmax. We thought we would share.

“Dear Jon Aikele and Roofmax,

You run an incredible company! We’ve never been more satisfied with the integrity and attention you and your company have given us.

Ten years ago you installed a roof that completely fixed our leaks. The material was manufactured from a company that guaranteed their product for much longer than ten years. This year when there were significant cracks in the material you contacted the company and had them send out a representative. But, that company wouldn’t cover the cost of fixing the cracked area or replacing the roof.

Because you backed your work 100% you had a team of your men come and seal our entire roof (not just the cracked area) with a white material that not only sealed the roof, but reflected the sun’s rays. And you took on the cost without charging us. Bravo for being environmentally conscious!

We are so impressed. Through the whole process we never had to check back with Roofmax. You were diligent and persisted with the other company and when they didn’t back their product, you insisted on backing your own business.

We are extremely happy and we are already recommending Roofmax to all our friends and acquaintances.

Thank you for being one of the best companies we have ever done business with!

Sincerely,

C & K V.,

Lafayette, CA”

We are so glad when our customers have the best experience possible. That is our main goal: to meet and exceed our customer’s goals.

Have a great Thursday!
