July 2017 – ACE (Architecture, Construction, Engineering) Mentor Program is a national organization with locations across the country to help high school students to help develop construction, architecture and engineering interests while teaching them how to develop construction projects on paper. This program also awards scholarships to the kids who do outstanding jobs so that they can continue to pursue their interests in college.

One of the ACE chapters is located in Frederick, Maryland where Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal (KRSM) VP Division Manager Dave Hesse and Estimator Austin Lynch are board members. Erika Jacobs took part in the ACE Mentor Program and graduated in May 2017. Upon her graduation, Erika took a position as an intern at Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal in Frederick.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT – EXELON TOWER

Posted by & filed under Commercial.

July 2017 – The Exelon Tower is a multi-million dollar, multi-year, LEED Platinum project that began in 2013 out of Baltimore, Maryland. This project was led by KRSM Maryland Roofing Foreman, Raul Calderon and KRSM Maryland Sheet Metal Foreman, Oscar Tejada.
In just a short period of time, The Exelon building, standing 23 stories tall, became a highly publicized project and gained a high level of attention in the Baltimore area. Due to busy streets, two tower cranes were used to lift supplies up to the top of the building with little room to spare on the ground, which left crews unloading up to four truckloads of material a day. This was not the only challenge for the crews. From day one, one of their main focuses on the job was safety. Safety railings were installed and used until the job was completely finished which ultimately lead this crew to finish this project without safety issues.During this project, KRSM crews provided both the roofing and wall panel installation. The project consisted of hot fluid applied roofing, vegetative roofing, pavers, ballast, modified roofing, metal wrap, corrugated panels, perforated panels, zinc panels, louvers and expansion joints. Altogether, KRSM crews worked on nearly 100,000 square feet of this building. “The project management was very helpful during this project and contributed a lot to the overall finished product,” said Raul Calder-son, “They helped the project run so much smoother, and I am thankful for that”.

Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal is proud and thankful for all of the hard work and, dedication KRSM crews, put into this project.

Posted by & filed under Community Involvement, Kaley Event.

June 2017 – Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal (KRSM) hosted its 3rd Annual Kalkreuth Vendor Invitational Benefiting Easterseals on June 9th, showing appreciation to all vendors who contributed to and sponsored the Kalkreuth Amateur Golf Classic (KAGC) which took place on June 10th and 11th.

The Kalkreuth Vendor Invitational was developed to help grow relationships between vendors and KRSM associates while supporting a worthy cause.  “Our partnership with Easterseals just makes sense,” said company President/CEO John Kalkreuth. “It is a remarkable organization with a heartfelt commitment to serve those living with disabilities in our local community and beyond, and we are humbled by the opportunity to provide a donation that continues to grow each year.”

We sincerely appreciate ABC Supply who was this year’s Co Sponsor for the 3rd Annual KAGC. Major sponsors also included Johns Manville, Beacon Roofing Supply, Firestone Building Products, and Allied Building Products. There were a total of 12 Gold Sponsors and almost 30 Corporate Sponsors in addition to various Tee Sign Sponsors from the local community. KRSM was able to contribute a total of $22,100 to the Easterseals this year with more than $60,000 donated since Kalkreuth became a sponsor for the Amateur Golf Classic.

Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal would like to thank everyone for coming out and participating in this year’s 3rd Annual Kalkreuth Vendor Invitational. Without your continuous support and contributions, this event would not be possible.

FOREMAN SPOTLIGHT – PAST TO PRESENT

Posted by & filed under Kaley Employees.

June 2017 – Over the past three years, Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal (KRSM) has featured a different foreman each month as part of the Foreman Spotlight. The spotlight has allowed us to get to know about their Kalkreuth careers as well as their dedication, determination, and the hard work they put forth in each project that they are assigned to.

Next month, we will start taking the foreman spotlight a little further.  Future articles will dive deeper into specific projects and not only focus on the foreman’s efforts but will show how projects come together with involvement from multiple Kalkreuth team members.  We will highlight high-profile projects with varied scope and difficult challenges, learning about those who help to make these projects a success.

We’ve had a lot of positive feedback about the Foreman Spotlight over the past three years and we can’t thank these hard-working individuals enough.
