ROOF.
ROOF.
ROOF. BRAD IS AN EXPERT AND HE'S ALSO
CES.
CES.
CES. AND,
CES. AND, THIS IS ASSESSING ANY
LITTLE AREA.
LITTLE AREA. THIS IS ONE OF THE WELL
RESPECTED IN THE REGION.
WE ARE HUMBLED TO HAVE THAT
REPUTATION.
REPUTATION. WHEN FOLKS THINK OF THEIR
ROASTS, THEY ARE OFTEN AT A
LITTLE BIT OF A LOSS.
AND, THIS IS DANGEROUS AND,
LOTS OF TIMES IT'S AN
AFTERTHOUGHT UNTIL SOMETHING
BAD HAPPENED LIKE A LEAK.
GENERALLY, WHEN YOU HAVE A
LEAK, IT CAN BE PASSED TIME TO
HAVE THAT ROOF ON SERVICED OR
REPLACED.
REPLACED.
REPLACED. SKY GUARD HAS BUILT A REPUTATION
FOR BEING VERY DILIGENT IN THE
WAY THAT WE GO ABOUT OUR
BUSINESS.
BUSINESS.
BUSINESS. WE INSPECT AND DOCUMENT WE ALSO
INFORM AND EMPOWER OUR CLIENTS.
THEN WE LEAN IN AND DIE.
SO, THAT IS OUR PROCESS.
THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT TYPES
OF SHINGLES AND SELECTIONS THAT
CAN BE MADE BY HOMEOWNER.
AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS WE
WANT TO GIVE THE PROFESSIONAL
ADVICE AND EXPERIENCE THAT WE
HAVE SO THAT THE HOMEOWNER CAN
MAKE THE BEST INFORMED DECISION
WITH THEIR HOUSE.
>> NOW, I KNOW THAT THIS ISN'T
JUST RESIDENTIAL.
JUST RESIDENTIAL. >> THAT'S TRUE.
WE ARE MEMBERS OF THE KENTUCKY
ROOFING CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION
MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL ROOFING
ASSOCIATION AND WE ARE LICENSED
IN THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE.
WE HAVE BUILT THIS COMMERCIAL
SECTOR.
SECTOR.
SECTOR. AND WE DO A LOT OF INDUSTRIAL A
LOT OF COMMERCIAL MULTI FAMILY
NEW CONSTRUCTION PROJECT.
WHAT HAS ALLOWED US TO DO IT
HAS ALLOWED US TO TAKE ALL OF
THOSE SKILLS.
THOSE SKILLS. AND HOW FAR THOSE COMMERCIAL
PROJECTS AND TRANSLATE THEM AS
A COMPANY.
A COMPANY. SO WHEN WE GO OUT TO A
HOMEOWNERS HOUSE AND WE MEET
WITH THEM, WE HAVE THE BACKING
OF VERY WELL EXPERIENCED
DIVERSIFIED COMPANY THAT CAN
BRING ALL OF THE EXPERTISE THAT
IS AVAILABLE WITHIN THE
INDUSTRY.
INDUSTRY.
INDUSTRY. SO, YOU CAN HAVE, YOU WILL HAVE,
PEOPLE OUT AT YOUR HOME.
THEY ARE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE,
THEY ARE WELL TRAINED.
WE SEND OUR PEOPLE TO THE
ACTUAL PLANTS WHERE THEY
MANUFACTURED THE SHINGLES.
SO, THEY KNOW THE PRODUCT
BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS.
OUR CREWS ARE HIGHLY SKILLED
AND HIGHLY SPECIALIZED.
MANY OF THOSE THAT WORK ON OUR
COMMERCIAL PROJECTS ARE ALSO
WORKING ON A RESIDENTIAL
PROJECT.
PROJECT.
PROJECT. SO, YOU HAVE THE ADDED BENEFIT
OF WORKING WITH MEN WHO DO THIS
DAY IN AND DAY OUT ON THE
LARGEST SCALE POSSIBLE.
THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO.
THAT IS A BIG COMFORT LEVEL TO
A HOMEOWNER KNOWING THAT THEY
HAVE EXPERIENCED AND
KNOWLEDGEABLE PEOPLE ON THEIR
PROJECT.
PROJECT.
PROJECT. WHETHER IT IS A GIANT
COMMERCIAL PROJECT OR WHETHER
IT IS A SMALL RESIDENTIAL HOME,
ALL OF THOSE ARE EQUALLY
IMPORTANT TO US IS A COMPANY.
AND, IN THIS INDUSTRY, THERE IS
NO GRAY AREA.
IT IS EITHER DONE ABSOLUTELY
RIGHT OR IT IS WRONG.
AND, THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT DOESN'T MEAN
THAT THINGS WON'T HAPPEN
THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION
PROCESS.
PROCESS.
PROCESS. WE GET INTO ALL OF THAT ALL THE
TIME.
TIME.
TIME. WE
TIME. WE WILL TEAR THOSE SHINGLES OFF
OF THE HOME.
THAT ROOF HAS BEEN UP THERE FOR
25 YEARS.
25 YEARS.
25 YEARS. WE DISCOVERED DAMAGE THAT YOU
WOULDN'T EXPECT TO SEE.
WE HAVE TO SOLVE THOSE PROBLEMS.
WE LET THEM KNOW RIGHT UP
FRONT, IF WE DISCOVERED THIS,
IT'S GOING TO BE THE NEXT
AMOUNT OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. WE
THAT. WE TRIED TO FORECAST AS MANY OF
THESE UNKNOWNS AS POSSIBLE SO
THAT THERE AREN'T SURPRISES FOR
THEM.
THEM.
THEM. >>
THEM. >> WELL, EARLIER YOU SAID YOU
EMPOWER AND YOU INFORM YOUR
CUSTOMERS.
CUSTOMERS. WE'VE ALL SEEN THOSE WHO TALK
ABOUT GOING DOOR TO DOOR AND
REPORTING TO THE LICENSED
APPEALABLE ROOFERS.
APPEALABLE ROOFERS. AND, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE
HOMEOWNER YOU KNOW IT IS VERY
IMPORTANT TO YOU.
THAT PEOPLE KNOW THAT YOU HAD
LICENSED CONTRACTORS THAT YOU
ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE
AFFILIATIONS AND LIKE I SAID
EARLIER, YOU ARE JUST ONE OF THE
MOST TRUSTED IN THE REGION.
>> WELL, THAT'S TRUE.
MANY OF THE KENTUCKY IN A
RESIDENCE WHO HAVE LIVED HERE
FOR SOME TIME WILL REMEMBER
THAT STORM.
THAT STORM. AND, THAT'S BACK FROM 2012.
AND WE HAVE ROOFING COMPANIES
THEY ARE PURPORTING TO BE
LICENSED CONTRACTORS AND
EXPERIENCE ROOFERS.
EXPERIENCE ROOFERS. AND THERE WAS JUST A MASSIVE
AMOUNT OF NEWS COVERAGE AFTER
THE FACT ON PEOPLE WHO HAVE
BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF OR SHOT
THAT WORK AND BEEN DONE.
YOU KNOW, THAT IS SOMETHING
THAT IS A BANE TO THIS
INDUSTRY.
INDUSTRY.
INDUSTRY. IT IS SOMETHING THROUGH THE
CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION THAT WE
ARE FIGHTING FOR HOPING TO GET
LEGISLATION PASSED IN FRANKFORD
THAT WOULD GIVE US A STATE
LICENSE FOR THE ROOFING
CONTRACTORS.
CONTRACTORS. AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL SOMEDAY
GO TO PASS.
BUT UNTIL THAT DOES, QUITE
ANYONE CAN DECIDE TODAY I'M
GOING TO BECOME A ROOFER.
AND THEY GO OUT AND THEY KNOCK
ON THEIR DOORS.
AND THEY SAY, HERE I AM IN YOU
HAVE THIS DAMAGE ON YOUR ROOF I
CAN TELL FROM STANDING HERE IN
THE STREET, WOULD YOU LIKE ME
TO GET UP ON YOUR ROOF.
SOMETIMES THOSE PEOPLE GET
HOMEOWNERS INTO SITUATIONS THAT
THEY END UP REGRETTING.
>> SO, WHAT DO WE LOOK FOR AS
HOMEOWNERS WHEN IT COMES TO OUR
ROOTS.
ROOTS.
ROOTS. WHERE DO WE KNOW WHEN IT'S TIME
TO CALL THEM?
>> WELL, ONE OF THE OBVIOUS
THINGS IS IF YOU HAVE A LEAK,
IF YOU HAVE LEAK, YOU HAVE AN
ISSUE.
ISSUE.
ISSUE. AND IF YOU HAVE LEAK IT MAY BE
WELL PAST TIME TO HAVE CALLED
THEM OR ANOTHER REPUTABLE LOCAL
ROUTER.
ROUTER.
ROUTER. SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT YOU
CAN SEE FROM GROUND LEVEL THAT
MIGHT BE VERY OBVIOUS TO YOU.
WITH YOU SEE THE SUNLIGHT
HITTING HITTING THE ROOF, A
SILVERY TYPE OF SHINE AT THE
EDGE OF YOUR SHINGLES OR CROSS
YOUR ROOF, THAT MEANS THAT THE
ASPHALT HAS DETERIORATED AND
THE SYNTHETIC FIBERGLASS MAT
THAT IS UNDERNEATH THAT ASPHALT
IS BEING EXPOSED.
SO, A SINGLE AND THAT PRODUCT
IT HAS A FIBERGLASS MAT
EMBEDDED INTO A TOP LAYER OF
ASPHALT.
ASPHALT.
ASPHALT. AND ON TOP OF THE TOP LAYER,
THERE ARE EMBEDDED CERAMIC
GRANULES.
GRANULES.
GRANULES. THEY ARE THERE TO PROTECT THE
ASPHALT.
ASPHALT.
ASPHALT. BUT HERE, WE'VE HAD FOUR
SEASONS OF WEATHER.
WE HAVE HOT AND COLD.
THESE DIFFERENT PRODUCTS EXPAND
AND CONTRACT AT DIFFERENT RATES.
WHENEVER EXPOSED TO HEAT AND
COLD.
COLD.
COLD. SO
COLD. SO OVER TIME, THIS EXPANSION
AND CONTRACTION WILL LOOSEN
THOSE AND THEY WILL WASH OFF
WHEN IT RAINS AND IF YOU ARE
SEEING THESE COMING OUT OF YOUR
DOWNSPOUT AND IT IS FULL OF
THESE GRANULES THAN YOU CAN
KNOW, I'M HAVING ISSUES HERE
AND IT MAY BE TIME TO REPLACE
MY ROOF.
MY ROOF.
MY ROOF. >> AND AS WE'VE SEEN OVER THOSE
PICTURES THAT YOU'VE SHARED
WITH US, YOUR COMPANY DOES SOME
BEAUTIFUL WORK.
BEAUTIFUL WORK. AND IT'S LIKE ONLY MAKEOVER FOR
YOUR HOUSE WHEN YOU DO GET THAT.

LOTS OF TIMES PEOPLE DON'T PAY
THAT MUCH ATTENTION.
THE COLOR PATTERNS THAT ARE
AVAILABLE NOWADAYS CAN BE QUITE
STRIKING.
STRIKING.
STRIKING. AND YOU CAN DO SO MUCH FROM AN
ARTISTIC STANDPOINT TO INCREASE
THE OVERALL VISUAL
REPRESENTATION OF YOUR HOME BY
