Abelard Certifies Seven in CertainTeed Quality Programs
St. Louis, MO, October 22, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Abelard Construction, the premier residential restoration firm in the Midwest, announced today that seven employees in its St. Louis office have completed rigorous quality training and certification from CertainTeed, North America's leading exterior and interior building products brand.
"CertainTeed's Master Shingle Applicator certification is the gold standard in roofing," said Brian Southard, Abelard co-owner. "Abelard Construction is relentlessly committed to quality, and so it was absolutely critical for us to invest the time and expense in putting all five of our lead sales reps, as well as our quality control inspector, through this training."
The Master Shingle Applicator™ program provides education in every aspect of shingle installation techniques, and the approved procedures for installing all CertainTeed shingles. The program covers topics such as workmanship, roof systems, estimating, flashing, ventilation, and product installation instructions.
In recent years Abelard has created hundreds of jobs in the St. Louis area, and Southard credits the company's growth to Abelard's commitment to quality, customer satisfaction, and employee training. With a unique quality control system in place, Abelard has one of the lowest warranty calls or "leak" rates in the industry.
