Earl Stewart Is A Roofing MVP Because Of His People Skills

Oklahoma City, OK (PRWEB) June 09, 2013

Earl Stewart fell while trying to grab the ridge of a roof during the Oklahoma City areas worst hailstorm in decades in 2010 and after sliding down a rope landed on the concrete sidewalk approximately 20 feet below the roof. He got right back up and fixed the roof.

Last year, Stewart donated his labor to fix the roof of the Edmond, Okla., home of a woman who was broke after she was ripped off by unscrupulous roofers.

Stewart has also fixed roofs for Habitat for Humanity and fixed roofs in Switzerland, Germany, France, Austria and Hungary after selling his roofing company and moving his family from Oklahoma to become a church leader, teacher, pastor and songwriter. He lived in Switzerland and Germany from 1982 through 1986.

Stewart, 62, has had a very interesting life because he is a people person who happens to also be skilled at building and fixing roofs. The combination of people and roofing skills has resulted in him being one of three winners of the San Antonio-based The Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress 2013 Most Valuable Player (MVP) Awards. The other two winners were from Rochester, N.Y. and Bloomington, Minn.

Earl came out in the rain and patched my leaking roof, wrote an Oklahoma City resident who identified herself only as Cindy in a testimonial on the website of Stewarts company, Elliott Roofing (http://www.elliottroofs.com), which has offices in Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Hes an angel.

Stewarts title for Elliott Roofing is field worker, but he is much more than that.

I am usually the last Elliott person our customers see, and it is my responsibility to receive and handle any concerns or complaints they may have about their new roof, he said in an online interview about his award.

Patty Hinson certainly had no complaints. She is the woman whose roof was leaking after she was scammed by another roofer. Elliott Roofing donated the labor to help her, while ABC Supply donated the materials and a local handyman named Cliff Ellis installed new windows, according to a report by Oklahoma Citys KFOR-TV. Hinson told KFOR that the repair work was miraculous and takes your breath away.

Its made me want to do more for others, she said. Its made me so grateful and so happy.
