GAF to be Full Program Sponsor for Energy Efficient Roofing Conference Hosted by Principia on April 8 and 9, 2013 in ...

On Mar 13, we maintained our Neutral recommendation on Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (BECN), one of the three largest roofing material distributors in the United States and Canada, on the back its active acquisition pipeline, recovery in residential and non-residential construction sectors, offset by concerns regarding difficult comparisons ahead and a seasonally weak second quarter.

Why Reiterated?

Beacon Roofings first-quarter 2013 earnings were 37 cents per share, down 5% year over year. Revenues increased 5% to $514 million, benefiting from the positive impact of several acquisitions completed since the start of last year, offset by lower average residential roofing selling prices.

Acquisitions are an important part of Beacon Roofings growth strategy. In the first quarter, Beacon acquired Ford Wholesale Co., a distributor of residential and commercial roofing and Construction Materials Supply marking its foray into the attractive North California market. Earlier, in December, the company acquired Pennsylvania-based McClure-Johnston Company. With continued improvement in core industry trends, we expect the company to aggressively pursue acquisitions in the near term.

The company continues to benefit from increased re-roofing activities. Driving the demand for re-roofing is an aging U.S. housing stock. Furthermore, weather damage, homeowners looking to upgrade their homes, and sales of existing homes are also driving demand. Furthermore, U.S. residential and non-residential construction is finally stabilizing and is on the road to a much-awaited recovery, which bodes well for the Beacon Roofing.

On the flipside, Beacon is facing difficult comparisons as the prior-year results benefited from storm damage, particularly in residential business, which registered a 25% organic gain. The company will face similar issues in the second quarter as the residential business will be up against a 46% comparison.

Quality Roofing Company Joins Contractor Nation

Chandlers Roofing, a nationally recognized roofing and solar contractor servicing Los Angeles and Orange County, California announced today the acquisition of Orange County roofing company, Handley Development, Inc., as well as the appointment of Trevor Leeds as Partner and President.

San Pedro, CA (PRWEB) March 14, 2013

Trevor had been working with Chandlers Roofing over the last year and a half in a consulting role and was instrumental in the tremendous growth and success the company has had in that time, including being named the Residential Roofing Contractor of the Year by Roofing Contractor Magazine in 2011, Best of the Best in the Roofing Industry in 2012 and a third consecutive Angies List Super Service Award. Prior to coming aboard Chandlers Roofing, Mr. Leeds served as an investor, advisor and consultant to several roofing company start-ups, including Eagleview Technology, ArmorLite Roofing Technology and RoofersCoffeeShop.com and has worked closely with many of the top companies within the roofing industry. Trevors roofing industry experience and strategic marketing efforts have built an impressive reputation with partners, manufacturers, distributors and clients including GAF, Boral, IB Roof Systems, G&F Roof Supply, Pacific Supply and OneRoof Energy.

The bulk of my professional career, I gravitated toward building lasting relationships as foundations for partnerships. Getting to know the people as well as the value proposition for a strategic partnership are often equally important, especially in a niche industry like roofing and solar. Along the way I have had the privilege of connecting with some great people and built some terrific relationships that will serve Chandlers Roofing well. Brian has done a terrific job of laying the foundation for Chandlers Roofing and when he approached me about joining the company, he presented me with a terrific business, with an outstanding reputation in which to build upon, Leeds said.

Trevor has always had a genuine interest in growing businesses within the roofing and solar industry. We are excited that not only will he help grow Chandlers Roofing, but that same passion will help serve our manufacturing partners in growing their products and services to our dedicated client base, stated Brian Hicks, CEO and longtime Owner of Chandlers Roofing.

Adding to their explosive growth in 2012, Chandlers Roofing acquired local Orange County roofing company, Handley Development, Inc. The acquisition of Handley allows us to restructure and better position Chandlers Roofing for expansion in the Southern California region, particularly the Orange County area. Orange County is an area we have served for years, but never directly marketed our roofing, solar and rain gutter services to. This acquisition will add to our already strong roofing business in Los Angeles County, while better positioning our company to service additional roofing and solar clients in Northern OC communities such as Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Los Alamitos and Seal Beach, commented Leeds.

About Chandlers Roofing:

Originally established in 1942, Chandler's Roofing has been recognized both regionally and nationally, earning leading roofing industry awards such as 2011 Roofing Contractor of the Year, 2010-12 Angie's List Super Service Awards and the prestigious Master Elite Roofing status with America's largest roofing manufacturer, GAF.

RIDGID R040SCA Pneumatic Roofing Cutter - Real User Review

MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) -

You may remember seeing the smoke and flames over downtown in July. It took firefighters several hours to put out the fire. Now owners and employees are working in a new facility on that same property.

The companyis starting fresh on the very soil it all started decades ago on North McDonough Street, after a 67 year old structure went up in flames.

Standard Roofing Company President Pete Taylor says with the help of the community, the business never missed a beat.

"[Whatoverjoyed us] was the cooperation with the city of Montgomery, and then all the people involved in getting up back was attributed to our employees hard work and dedication and they never gave up; they just went right through and we were very pleased and feel very appreciative to everyone that helped us." Taylor said.

Taylor says construction started on this $2.4 million dollar facility in September and it was completedahead of schedule. In the meantime, a local businessman offered temporary office spaces nearby on North Hull Street.

"We had a sign up in front of the old burned down site saying we will return to our original location March 1st and we beat it by about two weeks. We moved the morning of the 18th of February," Taylor said.

A look inside: new hardwood flooring, several office spaces and even a few items that braved the fire, including this wooden table that sits in the new conference room. Next to the main office is a building that will serve as a permanent fabrication shop sometime next month.

"We feel very fortunate that things turned out the way they did," Taylor said.

Montgomery Fire Lt. Kenneth Jones says the fire was so consuming that they could not determine the cause of the fire. Lt. Jones says the three firefighters who suffered minor injuries were treated and released that same day.
