Our 2023 Summer Interns are officially on board! Thank you to our team members who took time out of their busy days to help kick off their summer with some words of advice.
We’re thrilled to be working with the next generation of talent as we advance the future of Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal!
On May 12th, Kalkreuth was proud to sponsor the K.I.C. Kares Golf Tournament! Founder Kylee Colbert instituted K.I.C. Kares in 2020 when she was only nine years old. She aims to supply care packages to families with children in the NICU at no cost. Kylee believes even the smallest acts of kindness can make a huge difference!
Every year, members of our Maryland office volunteer as mentors for the ACE Mentor Program of America – an after-school program furthering high school students’ interest in pursuing careers in the Architecture, Construction, and Engineering industries. Mentors introduce students to careers, industry vocabulary, and companies’ roles while assisting them in completing a mock design project.
Last week, the teams mentored by our team members presented their designs to fellow teams, teachers, program leaders, mentors, and families. We’re so grateful for the opportunities the ACE Mentor Program has given Kalkreuth and local students. We always love to share our knowledge with these eager students, and we couldn’t be prouder!
May 1st – 5th was Construction Safety Week – a time to celebrate safety and demonstrate continued commitment to building a more vital, safer industry! Throughout the week, our crews have participated in toolbox talks – discussing safety topics – and in events/activities hosted by job sites and general contractors.
Here at Kalkreuth, constantly improving safety is an ongoing commitment. Our employees deserve it; our customers expect it, and the industry demands it.
Some National Women in Roofing (NWiR) Wheeling Council members stopped by East Coast Metal Systems for a Lunch & Learn!
They were able to learn about the company, ask questions, tour the shop, and participate in a hands-on activity – creating phone stands and pencil cups from their material.
Thank you to those who organized the event and those who shared their knowledge!
Once again, our local Johns Manville rep, REPS: Roofing & Exterior Products Services of Ohio, has awarded Kalkreuth the Pinnacle Award – an award annually given to the top 2% of JM’s contractor base.

April’s foreman spotlight is Chad Brandon with ECMS.
Chad has been with ECMS since 2009, when he was just 20 years old. He’s relatively new to being the shop foreman, but he worked in the field for five years before returning to the shop. Chad mentioned University Circle in Cleveland, Ohio, as one of his favorite jobs to work on while on the road.
“ECMS/Kalkreuth has been great to me for the past 14 years. I’ve learned a lot and met some really great guys over the years.”
Chad lives in St. Clairsville, Ohio, with his wife Christina, two kids, Mila Rose and Mason, and their dog Ace.
We are proud to have Chad as a part of the ECMS family and sincerely appreciate his continuous hard work and dedication these past 14 years!
April’s MORE Award recipient is Whitney Wack! Sarah Scrudders nominated Whitney for MORE Customer Service and Satisfaction.
“As Kalkreuth’s only female project manager, Whitney consistently completes her jobs with a high GP and repeatedly receives the highest praise on her customer service/communication on the post-job surveys. Because of her diligence, enthusiasm, and positivity, Kalkreuth receives numerous repeat customers and job referrals. She is able to help multiple departments with her great customer service, including marketing and getting photos with customer approval.”
Thank you, Whitney! We appreciate your dedication and enthusiasm!
