Arry’s Roofing Employee Spotlight: Sandi Drobish

Posted on November 18, 2014 by socius_admin

Sandi Drobish is another new face on the Arry’s team, and has been with the company about one year. As an administrative assistant, her job responsibilities include answering phones, setting up new jobs, handling permitting, ordering supplies, processing mail and assisting wherever needed. Sandi describes herself as “very organized and detail-oriented,” and we put her skills to good use here at Arry’s!

Sandi believes Arry’s Roofing is set apart from other Dunedin, FL, roofing contractors by the company’s concern for both its business and its people. “[The owners] treat you like family and really listen to you when you have concerns, issues or suggestions,” says Sandi. “They are a family-run business and they are very hands-on in the success of not just the company, but the success of their employees. It’s a great working environment.”

Sandi and her husband, David, have been married eight years. They own an auto repair shop that he runs in Tarpon Springs. Their daughter, Tia, is heading into her final year at Cooley Law School in Brandon. Sandi is most proud of her daughter. “She just amazes me. She is a true survivor, very driven, independent and I am blessed to be her mother.”

The family also has nine cats: six that live at home and three at their shop.

In their spare time, Sandi and David love to spend time on their boat, going on cruises and enjoying time with friends and family. If she could go anywhere for a day, Sandi says she would love to go to Italy with her husband to drink wine and eat amazing Italian food with the locals.

Because she is originally from Syracuse, Sandi’s favorite sports teams are the Syracuse Orange (college basketball) and the New York Yankees. Her favorite places to dine out are The Capital Grille or Gratzzi’s. On TV, she never misses The Voice and The Blacklist.

In the future, she would love to “travel from state to state with my husband, even if just for a couple months.” If she could give others one piece of advice about life, it would be this: “Family is very important. Spend time with them often and create memories that will last a lifetime.”

Thanks, Sandi, for being an important part of the Arry’s Roofing family!

Third “No Roof Left Behind” Installation Completed in Largo

Posted on November 13, 2014 by socius_admin

The Arry’s roofing family now has a new member living under a solid roof recently installed by our team through the No Roof Left Behind program. On October 24, we announced that Sandy Hawley of Largo was voted the winner of our third No Roof Left Behind campaign. More than 30 entries were received from local residents of Pinellas County in need of a new roof, or from individuals who wanted to nominate a friend or family member in need of a new roof. A volunteer committee narrowed the entries down to four finalists, and members of the community voted on the winner. Voting took place September 20 through October 19.

Our Installation Celebration began the morning of November 1, when the Arry’s roofing crew arrived at the Hawley home on 13^th Avenue SW. As our crew worked diligently to install the new roof, we were joined by our friends from local radio stations WDUV and 107.3 THE EAGLE, who broadcasted live from the event. In addition, we were pleased to be joined by Elsa and Anna, characters from the hit movie Frozen. Elsa and Anna made sure all the kids on hand had a great time!

Special thanks to the staff of Sonny’s BBQ for rescuing our hungry team. Everyone enjoyed a delicious, hearty lunch catered by the Sonny’s team.

We look forward to our next opportunity to serve local neighbors in need through No Roof Left Behind. Once we schedule our next free roof giveaway through the program, we will post information here on our blog, on our Facebook page and on Twitter.

If you need a roof repair, roof replacement or any other roof-related service, we invite you to become part of the Arry’s family too. We’re the Largo, FL, roofing contractor homeowners have relied on for more than 25 years. Call us today at (727) 938-9565.

We’ll Take The Stress Out of Roof Repair Insurance Claims!

Having a roof fixed is no trivial matter. Getting rid of a leak caused by storm damage may entail major roof renovations, especially for older roofs, and can easily cost up to a few thousand dollars. Add the fact that Palm Harbor has one of the rainiest climates in the country, and you got yourself a recipe for disaster.Read Full Article

Latest Arry’s “No Roof Left Behind” Winner Announced

Posted on October 24, 2014 by socius_admin

November 1, 2014 is another very special day for Arry’s Roofing Services. It’s the day that we will be installing a new roof for Sandra Hawley of Largo! Sandy is the latest winner in our No Roof Left Behind promotion. Previous winners of a free Arry’s roof include Linda Hunsinger of Saint Petersburg and Cody Hughes of Tampa.

No Roof Left Behind is a national grassroots effort dedicated to helping communities provide assistance to local homeowners who have fallen on hard times. Residents nominate someone that they believe is deserving of a free roof by submitting a story and pictures of the needy roof. The public then votes for the winner, and a local contractor provides the manpower to perform the installation. As a certified No Roof Left Behind installer, Arry’s Roofing is pleased to donate our time and expertise to serve our fellow community members.

Sandy was nominated by her daughter for the No Roof Left Behind program. Currently Sandy is in danger of losing her home on 13^th Avenue Southwest due to lack of homeowner’s insurance – which she does not qualify for because of the poor condition of her roof. She is a three-time cancer survivor, a mother to many, and is currently raising two grandchildren.

Sandy was one of four finalists selected by a committee of volunteers. Voting by local residents took place online from September 20 through October 19, 2014. Matthew Housh, Vice President of Arry’s Roofing, looks forward to assisting in the effort to make Sandy’s home a better place to live. “We’re very happy for Sandy. She has had many challenges yet has always been willing to help others in need. It’s her turn to get a helping hand.”

An Installation Celebration will take place on November 1^st beginning at 8:00AM, when our Largo FL roofers will be on-site to begin the replacement process. This will be family-friendly neighborhood event, and all are welcome to attend! We also welcome the participation of local businesses and community members as sponsors or volunteers. To find out more about this event or No Roof Left Behind, call Arry’s Roofing today at (727) 938-9565.

Arry’s Roofing Employee Spotlight: Chuck Ankrom

Posted on September 24, 2014 by socius_admin

One of the most experienced members of the Arry’s Roofing team is Chuck Ankrom, Senior Project Manager for commercial and residential projects. Chuck is a Florida native and has lived in Tarpon Springs since 1978. He has been employed by Arry’s Roofing for the past 17 years, and previously worked for the company as an independent roofing contractor. This close relationship is his favorite part of working for Arry’s. “Knowing the owners for the past 30 years is like working for family,” he says.

“If we were to say anyone in the company is truly ‘family,’ it would be Mr. Chuck!” says Matthew Housh, Vice President of Arry’s Roofing. “Chuck and my dad have worked together for over 30 years. He is one of the most passionate and loyal team members within the organization. His knowledge is vast and his experience great, which makes him one of our best assets on highly technical projects. We are so thankful for Chuck’s commitment and success that he continues to share with us.”

Chuck’s job responsibilities include listening to customer concerns and catering to their needs, and he believes his greatest strengths are his loyalty and faith in God. He feels Arry’s Roofing is set apart from other roofing contractors in Tampa, FL, by a commitment to integrity. “We do the right thing when no one is around to watch,” he says.

Chuck has been married to his wife, Monica, for 19 years, and is most proud of the relationship they share. The couple has three beautiful daughters: Alicia, 25, McKenzie, 19, and Tiffany, 15. The family also includes Mollie, a yellow Lab, and Elijah, a male German Shepard – “to offset all the estrogen in the house,” he jokes.

In his free time, Chuck enjoys golfing, fishing, spear fishing and fantasy football. His favorite team is the Philadelphia Eagles. His favorite place to dine out is Mystic Fish, and his favorite TV shows include 24 and The Blacklist. If he could go anywhere for a day, he would head to Alaska to walk the glaciers.

Chuck describes his long-term goal as to “live life with overflowing joy and peace.” If he could give others one piece of advice about life, it would be to seek Christ.

Thanks, Chuck, for being an important part of the Arry’s Roofing team!

Can’t Decide? Use Our Interactive Roofing Designer to Make the Best Roofing Choice

Posted on September 16, 2014 by socius_admin

At Arry’s Roofing, we understand that there are many decisions to make when it comes time to replace a roof, and those decisions can sometimes be overwhelming. That’s why we’ve created our Interactive Roofing Designer. With this innovative tool, we have outlined each step necessary in the decision-making process and given you the information you need to make the best choices for you and your home.

Step 1. Learn about the different kinds of roofing systems we install.

Concrete/Clay Tile Roofing Systems. Aesthetically, many homeowners in the Tampa area are drawn to the traditional look, texture and colors of tile. Tile roofing systems can be made of concrete, rubber or clay, and are extremely resistant to severe weather. Arry’s Roofing is the roofing contractor Tampa residents trust for expert tile installation and a roof that will last 50 years or more.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing Systems. Asphalt shingles are the most commonly used type of shingle and come in a variety of colors and styles. Laminate shingles are thicker and heavier than three-tab shingles and add interesting color, depth and texture to a roof while lasting up to 50 years.
Flat and Low-Slope Roofs. These economical and durable systems include traditional built-up and modified bitumen, and single-ply membranes such as TPO, EPDM and PVC. Roof coatings are another option to waterproof a roof and extend its service life.
Metal Roofing Systems. Metal offers excellent durability (50 years or more), beauty and resistance to fire and wind uplift, making it a smart choice for Florida homeowners. As a St. Petersburg metal roofing specialist, Arry’s has a full sheet metal shop and a dedicated metal roofing crew.

Step 2. Explore how the Arry’s team installs each type of roof, step by step.

Step 3. Start designing your roof by choosing deck fastening or adhering method, deck protection, skylight and flashing options, ventilation and more.

Step 4. Choose your roofing material and desired warranty coverage.

Step 5. Choose from accessories such as skylights, gutters, insulation and maintenance plans.

Step 6. Send us your selections, along with your contact information, and an Arry’s representative will get back to you shortly!

The goal of the Arry’s team is always to make your home improvement experience simple and hassle-free. Get started with the Interactive Roofing Designer now!

Arry’s Roofing Employee Spotlight: Ronald Pineda

Posted on September 9, 2014 by socius_admin

Ronald Pineda is a new face on the Arry’s Roofing team, having started in his position as Project Manager in January 2014. His job responsibilities include caring for clients, being knowledgeable about products and representing the company well. The Merida, Venezuela, native believes his greatest strengths are his ability to assimilate any accent and “remember everything but where I put my wallet!” He appreciates the opportunity he has to work for an exemplary family and serve the needs of the community.

“Arry’s Roofing is one-of-a-kind, from its product to its employees,” says Ronald. “You go with Arry’s, you won’t ever need another roofing contractor in Tampa Bay.”

“Ronald was an easy addition to the Arry’s team and family, as he was a family friend for many years,” says Matthew Housh, Vice President of Arry’s Roofing. “He has all the intangibles that we would look for in a project manager: integrity, work ethic, passionate, caring, kind, funny, relatable and humble in presentation. Although he did not have much Tampa Bay roofing experience, we knew he had the character and personality for the job, and that he would succeed. Another great aspect is that he is fluent in Spanish, so we can now relate to the Hispanic population. We are very excited about having Ronald on the team!”

Ronald is married to his best friend and the couple has a 15-month-old son, Miquel Alejandro. “They rock my world,” he says. The little family enjoys taking short trips to Orlando to explore and be with family, or Sarasota to enjoy a relaxing beach day and indulge in food.

In his free time, Ronald enjoys fishing, NFL football (he’s a huge Peyton Manning fan) and spending time with family. His favorite place to dine out is anywhere with good company and chicken wings.

One of Ronald’s most important long-term goals is to establish a business that he can leave behind for his children. If he could give others one piece of advice about life, it would be this: “Life is too short to be angry. Forgive.”

Welcome to the Arry’s Roofing family, Ronald!
