New Environmental Term

Recently, we discovered a new environmental term (or at least new to us):

GREENWASHING making false or misleading environmental claims.  Here are some important questions to consider when meeting with a contractor that is presenting green solutions:  “How does this product’s sustainability performance compare to other products in the category?", “What has the manufacturer done to improve the product’s sustainability performance?”, or “Does this product meet existing sustainability standards for the product category?”  For more information:  http://www.triplepundit.com/2013/09/walking-green-marketing-tightrope-avoid-green-marketing-nightmares/

Subcontracting Work?

What a blessing it is to be busy in Wexford County and Northern Michigan this summer!  We recently had a downstate sales representative contact us about subcontracting out some of our roofing work to an extremely reasonable company out of Texas.  While we appreciated his suggestion, we have never considered passing over hard working Michigan men and women in favor of employing subcontractors from out of state.  Springfield will continue to utilize their own employees – hiring as many people as necessary to accommodate our workload.  After all – it’s a win-win for everyone in Michigan when we utilize our own qualified and impressive local labor force.  Hiring Springfield for your project will guarantee that your project will be completed by local Michigan W-2 employees earning competitive wages and benefits.

Best Regards!

Rain Doesn’t Cause the Roof Leaks!

A rain storm doesn’t actually cause the roof to leak.  When it’s raining and water is entering your building – keep in mind that it could be coming through the roof or….through a duct or pipe.   Calling a roofing contractor who also specializes in mechanical insulations systems is advisable.  That way, you won’t have a roofing contractor and a mechanical contractor pointing their fingers at each other while you pull your hair out in frustration.  After all, does it really matter to you where the water is coming from?  Don’t you just want someone you can trust who can make the problem go away?  Call us at Springfield – – we have been doing just that and much more for our northern Michigan clients for decades.  We are standing by 24/7 to help you with your rooftop emergencies.
