Branch Manager, Dave Reece, has acquired top sales and operational talent to make the Canton branch key to the market in that area. And, the addition of our second Pittsburgh branch will extend our service platform to our valued customers north and east of the river. With easy access and room to grow, this beautiful new location should soon prove to be one of the top roofing distribution facilities in Pittsburgh. Led by the veteran team of Frank Sands, Tom Jewell and Barry Novosel, we have a motivated and talented crew in place there to serve the dynamic Pittsburgh roofing community."
