Project Profile: Sizing Up an Authentic Slate Composite
To roofing contractor Steve Daly, an empty roof deck has always represented more than just a new business opportunity. It is a work of art waiting to happen-and deserves to be treated as nothing less. Small wonder where Daly developed such dedication to his profession. He was born into a family of roofers, with his grandfather, father, uncle and two brothers all plying their crafts on the rooftops of Kansas City, Kan., and the surrounding Midwest area for KAW Roofing & Sheet Metal Inc., a family business now over 81 years old.
"Our success is a direct result of allowing young promising roofers to work closely with the best ‘old-timers' to learn all types of roofing, but particularly with specialty work involving slate, tile, and composite roofing materials," states Daly. "These roofers must understand our staunch policies of quality work and performing the job right the first time."
