Richard Choy started Sure Roofing Systems out of the back of his pickup truck in 1981. Since then, he’s seen his company grow to become a leading provider of residential and commercial metal roofing in the San Francisco area. General Manager Stephen Lee credits that growth to the firm’s experience and professionalism. “Our two foremen have been with the firm since its founding, and the majority of our workers have been with us for more than 10 years. They’re all journeyman-level workers, not apprentices. It’s the same crew on every job.”
Sure Roofing Systems also has its own fabrication shop. “A major issue for the success of any roofing job is how well the flashing detail is done,” says Mr. Lee. “Since we have our own shop, we can custom fabricate all those flashings according to the condition of the roof and structure from various types of materials, like Spanish tile or copper. We have the best materials available because we make them ourselves.”
When a job is complete, customers can expect Sure Roofing Systems to conduct a thorough follow-up, usually in four to five years (just before the warranty expires). “We check to make sure there’s nothing that needs to be done,” says Mr. Lee. “We’ll come by, inspect the roof and ensure it’s in good condition.”
