Duro-Last’s annual National Sales Seminar, held earlier this week at JW Marriott San Antonio Hill in San Antonio, welcomed more than 1,400 guests representing more than 280 authorized Duro-Last roofing contractor companies. 

Several contractors were celebrated for their work and accomplishments throughout 2024, including Parsons Commercial Roofing of Lorena, Texas, named Duro-Last’s Contractor of the Year. The company said Parsons was chosen for its “exceptional work, attention to detail, customer service and outstanding sales.”

Parsons, an authorized Duro-Last contractor for more than 25 years, also earned the distinction of a Duro-Last Platinum contractor for its quality workmanship.

“The excitement and anticipation for the National Sales Seminar is always palpable, but this year holds a unique significance," said Duro-Last President Darren Schulz.
