“Our annual Firestone Building Products Master Contractor Program recognizes top-tier firms for their commitment to excellence and superior workmanship,” said Tim Dunn, president of Firestone Building Products. “Ultimately, the winners’ attention to detail during all installation phases helps ensure long-term roofing system performance. Master Contractor, Inner Circle of Quality and President’s Club award winners represent our best partners in the industry. We are proud of all they have accomplished and look forward to continuing to see them achieve.”

In order to qualify for the Inner Circle of Quality award, contractors must have:
•    Achieved an annual Quality Incidence Rating (QIR) of 1.0 or less.
•    Installed a minimum of eight warranted Firestone Building Products roofing systems each in 2014 and 2015.
•    Installed four roofs per year for each of the prior three years.
•    Maintained at least 2 million square feet of Firestone Building Products roofs under warranty.

"We couldn't be more proud about receiving an honor from Firestone for a second year in a row," said David Bade, owner of Bade Roofing. "We consider Firestone Building Products to be one of the leading sources for quality roofing products. We trust them to stand behind their roofing systems."

In 2015, Bade Roofing crews installed a 115-mil, fleece-back TPO roof system base manufactured by Firestone Building Products followed by a new green roof at 700 Market in Downtown St. Louis, MO. The outdoor space incorporates landscaping, grass, seating areas, lighting, a gas fire pit and planter boxes.
