FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Minneapolis, MN – May 22, 2017: Garlock-French Corporation
Garlock-French Corporation of Minneapolis, Minnesota, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Garlock-French Corporation 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 residential President’s Club Award. To qualify for this award, a residential roofing contractor must meet specific criteria in at least one out of three different pathways: the Performance pathway, where contractors focus on giving their property owners the best possible service, quality, and protection; the Reliability pathway, where the contractor has a long history of offering their customers the best quality and protection; and the Service pathway, where contractors consistently offer their customers the best protection available in the marketplace.
Garlock-French Corporation has been a GAF Master Elite(R) Contractor since 1997; the company received the President’s Club Award due to its excellent performance in 2016. To become a Master Elite(R) Contractor–a status that less than 2% of roofing contractors nationwide are able to achieve–a candidate must demonstrate proper licensing, maintain insurance (in states that require it), have a proven reputation, and show commitment to ongoing professional training.

Aiming for excellence with every job, Garlock-French Corporation provides its customers with a variety of other exterior products and services, including masonry and chimneys, gutters, custom metalwork, solar conversions, and metal roofing options.
