FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
St. Augustine, FL – September 25, 2015: Fidus Roofing and Construction, LLC
Fidus Roofing and Construction, LLC, of St. Augustine, Florida, has received GAF’s most prestigious contractor award: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Fidus Roofing as one of the “elite of the elite” residential roofing contractors in the United States.
GAF is North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and only GAF Master Elite(R) Contractors can compete for its President’s Club Award. To qualify for this award, a contractor must demonstrate an exceptional level of excellence in their business, especially in the areas of Installation Excellence, Consumer Protection, and Installer Training.
Fidus Roofing has been a GAF Master Elite(R) Contractor since 2008. To become a Master Elite(R) Contractor–a status that less than 2% of roofing contractors nationwide have achieved–a candidate must demonstrate proper licensing and adequate insurance, have a proven reputation and show commitment to ongoing professional training.
With three distinct divisions (roofing, construction, and pavers), Fidus Roofing is able to offer a number of different services to its customers. “Our customers don’t realize that,” according to company president James Suplee. “They’re surprised to learn that, aside from roofing, we do all kinds of additions, remodeling, and custom homes, as well as patios, driveways, and screen enclosures. So we try to get the word out.”
Fidus has an outstanding reputation throughout its local Northeastern Florida market area. “We act and look professional, and we’re known for quality,” explains Suplee. “Our people have a really good, clean-cut image. We also bring a lot of credentials, awards, and certifications, which gives clients better peace of mind in knowing who to hire. The feedback we receive from clients is that they feel so much more comfortable having us work on their projects.”
The company places on emphasis on educating customers, explaining the different options that are available. “We don’t do a hard sell,” states Suplee. “Some roofing choices make more sense than others, and getting the facts from us helps homeowners to make the decisions that are best for them. We want them to feel confident with those decisions. Our company structure helps there, too; most of our competitors are one-man or two-man operations. We have full management and people on staff, so we can help the customer with anything that comes up.”
Harnessing long-term relationships is important to Fidus, both professionally and in the community. The company gives back by helping Habitat for Humanity, doing projects at no cost. Fidus is also a member–one of only 15 contractors in the country–of GAF’s Elite Advisor Program, which meets with GAF to share valuable insight from some of the manufacturing company’s top contractors.
Looking forward, the company wants to continue with steady growth. “We’re focusing on increasing the number of clients for whom we can perform more than one service,” concludes Suplee. “We remind them how we can help with all of their needs–not just roofing–which is another step toward building those long-term relationships. Our clients are fortunate in that there a number of good roofers in this area. But we always make sure that we’re a step ahead of everybody else!”
