Two longtime Missouri-based roofing contractors received Better Business Bureau TORCH Awards during a virtual event held Oct. 21.

Besides providing productive employment to program graduates, the new job program is designed to address the chronic construction labor shortage.

The $75-million project will see IKO establish both a quarry site as well as a state of the art roofing granule manufacturing and coloring plant in the area. 

Consistent training and giving back helped grow residential roofing contractor into multi-location business.

Headquartered in St. Peters, Mo., Arrowhead operates a network of five locations across Missouri and Arkansas and employs a team of ~130 people.

The donations come in recognition of International Firefighters’ Day, observed annually on May 4, as an expression of gratitude to the firefighters who dedicate their lives to keeping their communities safe.

The 445,000-square-foot facility supports CCM, a manufacturer and supplier of premium, energy-efficient building products and related technologies for the commercial and residential construction markets.

The new 3,500 square-foot facility provides additional space to hold educational speaking events and much-needed room for added staff.

The owners of the now-defunct Stella Roofing have been charged in St. Louis County relating to allegations of contractor fraud.

The Excellence in Single-Ply award, given by Carlisle SynTec Systems, is one of the top accolades in the commercial roofing industry.
