June 2017 – Last month, one of Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal’s (KRSM) completed projects, The Columbus Metropolitan Library—Whitehall in Columbus, OH, was the recipient of the International American Institute of Architects (AIA)/American Library Association (ALA) 2017 Library Building award honoring the best in library architecture and design.

This award was open to all types of libraries that permitted public access and were completed no earlier than 2012. The  award not only recognized entire library structures but also all aspects of their design. On this project, Kalkreuth worked alongside of Turner Construction where KRSM provided a complete tear-off, temporary roofing, and the installation of TPO roofing.

Congratulations to the Kalkreuth team who took part in completing this project.

June 2017 – One of Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal’s (KRSM) completed jobs, The Andersons Headquarters in Maumee, Ohio, won the Office Construction Project of the Year in the Northern Ohio Chapter of the National Association for Industrial and Office Parks (NAIOP)– Commercial Real Estate Development Association annual awards.

During this project, KRSM worked alongside of general contractor, Gilbane Building Company where KRSM provided the installation of metal roofing and EPDM roofing.

To come to a final decision for the winner of the award, each building was evaluated on different categories such as degree of difficulty, challenges and unique approaches, value engineering, innovation, quality, safety and overall team relationship with all parties.

Kalkreuth is proud to have worked on such an outstanding building. Congratulations to Gilbane Building Company and to those from KRSM who worked on this project.

June 2017- One of Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal’s (KRSM) crews received a surprise inspection from OSHA while working on Northern Kentucky University (NKU) Health Innovation Center. The crew passed the inspection with flying colors!

Kevin Barnhart, Safety Manager for Ohio and Kentucky said, “These guys have a great attitude. They go through the proper steps to make sure things are done correctly, and if they have questions or are unsure of something, they always call to be on the safe side.”

The crew included (pictured L to R) Jacob Seibert, Josh Grey, Tommy Johnson, Mike Shooke and Roofing Foreman, James Seibert. We sincerely appreciate your hard work and dedication to safety! Great job to the crew!

May 2017 – A Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal (KRSM) crew attended a safety meeting and luncheon on the jobsite at the Greater Columbus Convention Center (GCCC) in Ohio. At the meeting, they competed in a small competition between all who attended to see who could produce the best new safety slogan.

First place would receive $300, and their slogan would be turned into a safety banner while second place would receive a brand new TV. Adam Whitaker, KRSM roofer, came in second place with the slogan “Building progress with safety success.”

“Adam not only guides people in the work that they do but he also guides them for safety and it has been so beneficial for me,” said Kenny Norman, KRSM sheet metal foreman.

We sincerely appreciate Adam for his dedication to safety efforts. Good job guys and keep up the good work!

May 2017 – On Thursday, May 18th, Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal (KRSM), in Wheeling, West Virginia, held a media day event at the Capitol Theatre. Members of the local media were invited to learn not only about KRSM but also about the history of the Capitol Theatre.

Stan Gorczyca, KRSM Senior Project Manager, Geoff Wack, KRSM Estimator, and Dan Tennant, KRSM Sales Manager, talked about the process and plan that they have set in place for the roof replacement of the Capitol Theatre. “We are about finished tearing off one section of the old roof, and now we are getting ready to put on the new one. We are expecting to be completely finished with this project in a couple of weeks,” said Gorczyca.

Frank O’Brien, executive director of the Wheeling Convention and Visitors Bureau, which owns the Capitol Theatre, was also there to talk about the project. O’Brien explained that the decision for a roof replacement was to sustain the building. The Capitol Theatre is not the only local job that Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal is working on. “We are finishing up Famous Supply, working on the Health Plan and we are starting Swisher International here soon,” said Gorczyca.

KRSM offered the Capitol Theatre a very competitive price to show commitment to the community. With the project coming close to an end, KRSM is proud to be working on such a historical landmark in downtown Wheeling.
