Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal is committed to making a difference in the communities we serve.
On October 16th, Josh Wack, his brother Chris, and his son Brennan participated in the Taqueria 304 Disc Golf Scramble! We are delighted to have sponsored an event benefiting such an astounding organization as Volunteer Wheeling.
We could not be more pleased with the outcome of this year’s Monster Mash Bash, presented by Harmony House Children’s Advocacy Center! The event took place on October 15th, and representing Kalkreuth at the event were Lace French and her fiancé Kevin Kuri Jr., Derek Rothermund, and Whitney Hajdukovich. The Children’s Advocacy Center is an incredible organization, and we are proud to support its mission!
On October 4th & 5th, all the heads of departments sat in on a two-day leadership development training, followed by a Pittsburgh Pirates game! We are grateful for the National Roofing Contractors Association speaker, Tom Shanahan, Karen Cates, and our team members!
It’s that time of year again! Various members of our team will be traveling near and far to career fairs over the next couple of months. These events allow us to meet the students, discuss potential internships and/or jobs and establish professional relationships! Not only do these events develop strong brand awareness among students, but among staff and other employers, as well.

This month’s featured foreman is Robert Luyster with East Coast. Bob has been with ECMS since May 6th, 2002, and his first project was Tangeman University in Cincinnati, Ohio. While working in the shop, he is bound to work on most active projects.
Bob has twenty-six years of total experience and twenty with ECMS alone. He noted a few of his most notable projects, including 130 Cedar Street (World Center Hotel, New York), Cincinnati International Airport, and Tangeman University.
“Everything is fluid. Schedule, coworkers, types of material worked with, delivery dates, anything, and everything could change on any given day. If you can’t deal with change, this is not the place for you.”
Bob lives in Adena, Ohio, with his wife Tina (of twenty-eight years), two kids, Tori (22) and Wyatt (16), and two dogs. His family is his biggest support system, and he could not do his job without them!
We are proud to have Bob as a part of the East Coast Metal Systems family and sincerely appreciate his continuous hard work and dedication these past twenty years!
On Monday, September 12th, Maryland Business Development Manager Andrew Vanlandingham played in the 20th Annual Gilbane Maryland Charity Golf Classic. The tournament raised money for the ACE Mentor Program and Black Women Build – Baltimore! It was a success, and we look forward to next year!

KRSM was also named Roofers Coffee Shop’s R-Club Roofer of the Month for September 2022! Vice President David Hesse was featured in a podcast interview to discuss KRSM’s history, services, projects, and what makes this company unique! Alice asked, “What is something special that your company celebrates?” Dave said “Kalkreuth likes to celebrate our story, which is a good one, and our people. It’s really the people that make Kalkreuth a great company, our office and field staff, not just great employees, but great people to work with, great people to be associated with. We, not too long ago, started a more awards program where we are able to celebrate our people that have shown more, have gone above and beyond whether it’s leadership or mentorship, determination, teamwork, community involvement. We try to celebrate those folks with a more award at the end of the year.”
