Keating Roofing and Exteriors

This colonial style entrance support post where completely rotted out. We removed the posts, ceiling and re designed the infrastructure to only have two new posts. All the unseen new wood was wrapped with a waterproof membrane and then covered with custom fabricated vinyl. Also added some lighting which should of been originally installed. This will never happen again. The boys did very well!

Exterior ceilings going up, Interior flooring going down. The Thursday hustle is legit……..

If you can work outside in temperatures like this you are definitely “Tough Certified”

Overly satisfied!

It’s amazing how much these two dormers add huge liveable space on the third floor. Hopefully the weather allows us to wrap up the exterior quickly.

Waiting on the permits for this third story addition, quick economical fix to the leaky roof as we wait.

Half round work-owned and completed by lakeside!

Nothing like natural light!
The team hard at it…..

The framing finish can’t come soon enough!

Flash back to a complete exterior remodel.
Roofing, aluminum, siding, windows, stone, stucco.
The works……

Many business out there talk about warranties. In the trade industry, there are two warranties that exist. First being labour, this means any company that installs something wrong is and should be held accountable for there installation errors. Hopefully they stand behind that.
Second, materials. This is the misconstrued B/S, that exists everywhere!
In roofing materials, and I’m sure with many other products, warranty presentation in the deep fine print offer a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects.
What this means is the product has a lifetime warranty against manufacturers defects. This does not mean the product will last a lifetime. The product will only last to its environmental exposure. The greater the sun, snow, etc the product will fail accordingly.
Housing products are designed to fail with a life expectancy, this keeps our economy rolling. With that said, There are most certainly products out there designed to last longer but that’s up to research and elevated cost. I, as a businessman full of integrity I try to share this with the customers I’m exposed too. I never sell, I educate and hope I can make a difference. Keating has been in business for three generations, contractors offer warranties on paper, but do they stand behind it? Or follow up when needed?
I received a call today from a women we did a roof for 5 years ago. At the time she was just widowed. She choose to stay in her family home in lieu of an old age facility. She called about a roof issue today, but that wasn’t present. She needed help around her house and didn’t know who else to call.
I expressed my concern to her and furthermore will have staff stop by to assist with her needs. small business warranties are something on paper, integrity and being a good human being is what makes your business last. My team will great fully help this kind sole and that is what makes us great! Be honest about your sales, make a profit but always take care of those that buy.

Never thought I’d see the day when the cost of plywood is almost comparative to copper.
