My
name is Paul Grizenko,
President of Permanent Roofing Systems. Im married and have three wonderful children.
I graduated from McGill University with a degree in bio-chemistry.
Why
did I get into the aluminum roofing business?
In
1993, my home needed a new roof. In winter, you couldnt tell its
color from the snow build-up and the resulting ice dams. Upon inspection
of the attic, we could see areas where moisture had caused staining,
a sure recipe for disaster. Although not very old, the asphalt shingles
were not doing their job.
I
interviewed many roofers and decided on the one whose knowledge was
vastly superior to mine. He convinced me that his asphalt shingle roof
would fix all of my roofing problems, after all he was honest, his company
reliable, and they had the best warranty in the business.
It
didnt take long to find out that my new asphalt roof was worse
than the old one, and the warranty had more leaks than the new roof.
That honest and reliable roofing company no longer returned my calls.
I
suffered with my mistake until 1996, when my father-in-law said, Paul
I have found a great investment for you,
a metal roofing company that uses aluminum shingles.
My reply, NO WAY, ROOFERS ARE CROOKS. With great reluctance,
he convinced me to go to British Columbia with him and checkout this
company. My reaction when I was introduced to the four-way interlocking
aluminum shingle roof that was ultra-durable, maintenance free, warranted
for fifty years and virtually resistant to all mother nature could deliver
was, WOW, THIS ALUMINUM ROOF IS THE LAST ROOF A HOME WOULD EVER NEED.
Seeing is believing, I invested, spent months learning everything I could about metal roofing, and now manufacture and sell, "The best of the metal roofing systems" to reputable metal roofing distributors, dealers and do it yourself metal roofing homeowners from coast to coast.
We
have even been able to upgrade the flashing, the painting process, and
have found faster and more efficient ways to install our aluminum shingles, making
it more economical for the consumer. We are always looking for ways
to improve because even the best can be better, and our goal is to give
homeowners what they deserve, a complete metal roofing system.
As
for my own roof, it looks great, and we have not had any problems since
we installed our aluminum shingles. I take pride in my company, and
would be proud to have you as my customer.
