Two suburban firms earn Firestone quality award

Firestone Building Products recently presented Waukegan Roofing Co., Inc. in Waukegan and Weatherguard Roofing Co. in Elgin with the 2016 Partner in Quality Award.

The suburban firms are among 133 Firestone Building Products Red Shield licensed roofing contractors in the United States, Canada and Mexico to achieve the honor.

Firestone Building Products Red Shield licensed roofing contractors are required to complete extensive product installation training and their work must meet Quality Incidence Rating criteria.

"In addition to the number of warranted jobs these contractors have completed, they have proved their commitment to excellence, exemplary attention to detail and craftsmanship. We are proud to honor them with the prestigious Partner in Quality Award."
