2017 Master Contractor Award Winners Honored by Firestone Building Products

Firestone Building Products Company, LLC, announced the company’s top firms that earned the 2017 Master Contractor award. This highly regarded award program recognizes the most outstanding contractors in the commercial roofing industry. These top-tier companies are among the top 5 percent of Firestone Building Products Red Shield Licensed Roofing Contractors and were selected for their exemplary installation, quality of work, and customer service.
 
This year holds a special distinction, as 2017 commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Master Contractor Program. For its 30th year, Firestone Building Products announced new specifications for achieving Master Contractor status and qualifying for the various levels within the Master Contractor program.
 
The Master Contractor Program recognizes three levels of achievement: Silver Master Contractor, Gold Master Contractor, and Platinum Master Contractor. Firestone Building Products offers these three categories to recognize increasingly-difficult levels of accomplishment. In addition to these three levels, Firestone Building Products also recognizes Master Contractors with the highest level of quality installations with the Inner Circle of Quality award.
 
“For 30 years, our contractors continue to prove they’re among the best in the industry. The Master Contractor award reflects their hard work and attention to detail,” said Tim Dunn, president of Firestone Building Products. “This esteemed Master Contractor distinction is among the longest running and most desirable recognition in the commercial roofing industry, and we’re honored to be partnered with these reputable firms.”
 
All Master Contractor award recipients were selected based on total square footage installed and quality points accumulated for outstanding inspection ratings on systems covered by the Firestone Building Products Red Shield Warranty. Those include: RubberGard EPDM, UltraPly TPO, asphalt and metal roofing systems. In the sustainability category, the program recognizes Firestone Building Products SkyScape Vegetative Roof Systems and SunWave Daylighting System.
 
Requirements include completing a minimum of eight Red Shield warranted jobs during the 2016 calendar year, being in good financial standing with Firestone Building Products, and having a Preferred Quality Incidence Rating (QIR) that does not exceed 2.5 times the average QIR for Red Shield Licensed Roofing Contractors. QIR is determined by the annual number of quality incidents per million square feet of roofing under warranty.
