Guests also participated in educational Commercial Roofing 101 tutorials and Q&A sessions led by external roofing consultant Tyler Guerriero, who provided valuable insights into the importance of roof maintenance and information about the various roofing materials on display.To round off the evening, attendees were invited to take part in a trivia contest focused on commercial roofing preventative maintenance. Special guest Clinton County Commissioner Angela Harding attended to show her support to the local business amongst many other local entrepreneurs.
Opening the Ribbon Cutting, Sarah Getz, President addressed the crowd, stating, “We are blessed to have such an awesome crew so early on in this phase of our company; we couldn’t possibly do it without our dedicated team.” The official ribbon-cutting ceremony featured a special moment when Mallory Getz, the couple’s nine-year-old daughter, cut the ribbon, symbolizing the company’s commitment to family and community.
