Off To A Great Start!!

Happy New Year to all our roofing and distribution partners! US PLY wishes everyone a healthy and prosperous 2010. We are now a month into the New Year and business has started off nicely at US PLY. Orders for January, 2010 were up over January of last year. We appreciate your hard work and support on our behalf, and we hope the fast start to 2010 will be a sign of good things to come.

We are only a few weeks away from the International Roofing Expo to be held in New Orleans. We look forward to seeing you there! Please stop by the US PLY booth (# 1335) to visit with Scott, Joel, Brad and myself. The Crescent City will be a nice change of pace from Las Vegas……so “laissez les bons temps rouler”!!!

Our architectural push for 2010 is under way! We have revamped our Basic Wind Uplift AIA Course, and have already presented it to over 60 architects in the past 8 weeks. Both Scott and Riley Willingham are certified to conduct these lunch-n-learns. Our goal is to have over 400+ architects take this class over the next year. Stay tuned….you should be seeing US PLY in more specifications because of this architectural push.

Our technical department is now the strongest it has ever been. Joel has put together a dynamite team! We have hired Tim Dunn as our Senior Technical Representative. Tim formerly owned a roofing company in DFW and has over 30 years of rooftop experience. Tim is available to assist our roofing partners with applicator training programs, as well as, rooftop installation assistance. We have also hired Amber Fuller as our Guarantee Administrator to service our StarCertified and StarChoice applicators. Clint Freeman is still pounding the pavement doing field inspections. And as always, the venerable Chase Bennett, Inside Technical Representative, is here to assist you in your architectural substitution requests, OneSpecs, and submittal packages.

We look forward to providing you with superior modified bitumen products and overwhelming service in 2010. We appreciate all your efforts on our behalf!

And just a reminder of some important future events!!
