Firestone Names 2014 Master Contractor Award Winners

Firestone Building Products Co. LLC has announced 251 firms across the country earned the 2014 Master Contractor Award. From within the network of more than 3,000 Firestone Building Products Red Shield Licensed Roofing Contractors, these top firms have demonstrated excellence in the areas of installation, quality of work and customer service. Collectively, the winners installed more than 235 million square feet of warranted Firestone Building Products roofing systems on new and reroof projects in 2013.

The Master Contractor Program annually presents three distinct industry awards:

Master Contractor Award
The Master Contractor Award recognizes top Firestone Building Products licensed contractors on the basis of total square footage installed and quality points accumulated for outstanding inspection ratings on roofing installations completed in 2013 covered by the Red Shield™ Warranty, including: RubberGard EPDM, UltraPly TPO, asphalt and metal roofing systems.

Firestone Building Products also added two categories this year. The first for sustainability, which awards points for including Firestone Building Products SkyScape Vegetative Roof System, PLATINUM PV Program or SunWave Daylighting System. The second category for underlayments, which awards points when warranted projects include V-Force Vapor Barrier Membrane, CLAD-GARD Underlayment or BASEGARD SA Base Sheet.

A contractor must complete a minimum of four Red Shield warranted jobs annually. To qualify, Master Contractors also must have a Preferred Quality Incidence Rating (QIR) that does not exceed three times the average QIR for Red Shield Contractors. QIR is determined by the annual number of quality incidents per million square feet of roofing under warranty.

Inner Circle of Quality Award
Master Contractors are eligible for the Inner Circle of Quality Award by installing a minimum of four warranted Firestone Building Products roofing systems in each of the last five years, maintaining at least two million square feet of Firestone Building Products roofs under warranty and achieving an annual QIR of 2.0 or less.

President’s Club Award
Master Contractors who have accrued the highest number of quality points for superior inspection ratings and total square footage of Firestone Building Products Red Shield warranted roofing system installations completed over the past year earn the distinguished President’s Club Award.

“At Firestone Building Products, we are dedicated to optimizing the roof and building envelope to achieve maximum facility performance. The annual Master Contractor Program recognizes top-tier firms for their high-quality workmanship and long-term roofing system performance,” says Tim Dunn, president of Firestone Building Products. “Master Contractor, Inner Circle of Quality and President’s Club honorees are our best partners in the industry because of their commitment to building excellence.”
