Florida Southern Roofing Certified as a Green Screened Contractor

    SARASOTA, FL, February 20, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Florida Southern Roofing and Sheetmetal Inc. has been certified as a Green Screened Roofing Contractor.

"I'm honored that each of our technicians and roofing specialists can now wear the Green Screened patch on their uniforms," says Brian Wallace, owner of Florida Southern Roofing and Sheetmetal. "It signifies that we understand our responsibility to the environment and to our community, as well as our commitment to providing our customers with the best possible service."

Florida Southern Roofing's trained and certified Green Screened Roofing specialists provide EcoSharp Home Evaluations that evaluate every aspect of a roof, including shingles or tiles, gutters, insulation and ventilation. The final assessment identifies and explains any deficiencies that might shorten the roof's lifespan, cause other damage to the home, or result in overinflated energy bills. The assessment includes recommendations for eliminating the problems to increase the life of the roof and lessen the environmental impact. Roofs can waste as much as 34 percent of the energy a home uses, often due to ventilation and insulation problems.

Florida Southern Roofing received their Green Screened Roofing training and certification through Roofers' Success International.
