Stories from the Roof host, Megan Ellsworth, sits down with Jim Bush of Weather Shield Roofing Systems to chat about their experience and longevity in the industry. Could it be due to their company core values? Their commitment to their employees, their customers and the environment? It is rare to see a company list roof maintenance and repair above roof replacement as a priority on their website, or their pledge to their employees featured as prominently as their pledge to their customers. The core values of a company inform the day-to-day operations, including sales, so we invite you to join us as we learn more from Jim about the importance of company culture.
