We appreciate each and every client we are lucky enough to serve. But sometimes we are blessed with the opportunity to take on a really special project that means so much to the customer and to us.
Tom is certainly one of those customers and his home is certainly one of those projects. When you have a home that you built yourself with the help of family and friends like Tom does, you have a deep attachment to that home. We felt honored that Tom let several of us into his home and gave us not only the full tour, but the story of how a little piece of property turned into a home that is absolutely overflowing with memories. You could almost see Tom reliving the days of construction and memories of his children playing as he told us all about the place he has called home for over forty years.
So when Tom put his trust in our hands, we took the mission to provide his home with the best possible roof very seriously. So serious that we made an event along with a cookout and everything out of the project. We got to meet just about Tom's entire family and they got to meet just about the entire Tesson family during the course of the project.
Since Tom wants to pass this home along to his children one day, he wanted a roof that would not only look amazing, but stand the test of time. In our crazy Midwest climate, that can mean standing strong to blazing summers, freezing winters, violent winds, large hail and everything else that our weather can throw at a roof. There was only one option as far as we were concerned, and that is Unified Steel Stone Coated. Made from thick gauge, heavy duty steel and coated with high density stone granules, it was built to stand up to everything our climate can muster and more. In addition to being built like a tank, it is available in a variety of styles and colors to fit the exact aesthetic you want to achieve for your home. But don't take our word for it, just have a look at how sharp these Pine Crest Shake shingles in Sage turned out!
From the Tesson family to yours, Tom, thank you for entrusting this project to us. We're proud to be another memory among the many you have created in your home. And we wish you many more happy years of creating new ones under your new roof.
