Withstanding the Test of Time

Kansas City, MO Downtown Cityscape at Twilight.

As a company that has been serving the Kansas City region for 94 years, Cornell Roofing and Sheet Metal has seen many changes through the years. We’ve played a role in helping build the Kansas City skyline you see today. Our industry has grown and remained strong due in large part to the early development of trade groups, such as the Builders’ Association and the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) – some of the oldest industry associations in the country.

In 1887, a group of construction industry representatives came together to form the Master Builders’ and Traders’ Exchange in Kansas City, Missouri. This evolved to become the Builders’ Association and remains headquartered in Kansas City. The mission of the Builders Association is to provide high-quality and valued services that contribute to the betterment of their individual members and the construction industry overall. They offer a broad range of support services and resources for every facet of the construction industry, including everything from education and safety to government regulations and marketing.

In 1886, the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) was established. NRCA is headquartered in Rosemont, IL and is a central source for informational, educational, technical and advocacy resources for their 3500+ roofing industry members across all 50 states and 53 countries worldwide.

While entrenched in history, these organizations are shepherding advances in the roofing industry. Their support, insights and resources are vital to companies like Cornell in our efforts to drive continual improvements for safety and quality. Trade organizations help build the foundation for success across for roofing contractors and the construction industry as a whole.

Longevity: 4 Keys to 94 Years in Business

Cornell Roofing and Sheet Metal is among a handful of locally owned and operated businesses in Kansas that have sustained across multiple generations, nearing or past the 100-year mark. As a business that has been operating for over 94 years and is still growing, we are sometimes asked about our key to success. This kind of longevity can’t be attributed to one single key; it involves many factors in addition to sheer hard work and determination.

Here are four keys to our success at Cornell:

Team of Champions

The people at Cornell are what drives our success. Our engaged group of skilled professionals are passionate about their crafts. We’re united in delivering the highest quality results for our customers. Giving your team the respect they deserve and resources they need to grow and thrive in their careers will go a long way.

Innovation

Change is the one constant in business. Being open to new ideas, methods, technologies and processes not only gives you a competitive edge, it can also help you improve your service to customers and optimize your bottom line. 

Flexibility

Expect the unexpected. As so many companies have seen over the last year, changes outside your control can drastically impact your business. Consider the what-ifs, have a contingency plan, get creative and be ready to shift gears as needed to protect your business and continue your commitment to customers.

Community

Never forget where you came from. Being involved in your community is not only good for business, it is vital to creating an environment for success in which your company – and your community – can thrive. This includes investing time and donating to local community efforts as well as supporting industry associations that provide resources for your company and team. 

Whether you’ve been in business nine months or over 90 years, these keys can help you stay grounded and serve as a foundation for growth. At Cornell, we are excited for what the future holds and celebrating the milestones ahead. To learn more about Cornell Roofing and Sheet Metal, visit www.CornellRoofing.com or call 816-252-8300.

Key Partnerships Drive Success

Building something great does not rest on the shoulders of one entity. It takes a collaboration of community. In our world of commercial construction, we work alongside many skilled, talented professionals from all aspects of planning, architecture, construction and the trades. We align our areas of expertise to execute a common vision. Together, we aim to deliver our best. 

 

Key partnerships are central to the success of these projects. At Cornell Roofing and Sheet Metal Co., we are fortunate to have fostered key partnerships with our colleagues in the region. This includes companies like JE Dunn Construction Co and Hollis & Miller Architecture, among many others. 

 

We value these alliances, the opportunities for business growth, and the friendships created along the way as we work with partners in Kansas City. With nearly 100 years in business, we’ve learned a thing or two along the way. Solid partnerships are built on integrity, dependability, quality and accountability. Simply put, when you make a promise, you keep that promise. Period.

 

We are proud and honored to receive feedback like these examples below from our partners:

 

“Cornell Roofing & Sheet Metal has been a collaborative, trusted partner for our project in many aspects and we sincerely appreciate the positive relationships their team has developed with ours. It has been a pleasure to work with them and we look forward to working with Cornell again soon.”

 — Andrew Petersen and Robert Pinkerton, JE Dunn Construction Co.

 

“I want to extend my deepest appreciation and thanks to Cornell Roofing for their help and professionalism, and especially Cornell’s adaptation to the project’s changing work scope – Cornell’s rapid response to these changes was essential to the project’s success.”

 — Steve Golubski, JE Dunn Construction Co.

 

“Cornell took the extra steps to get the job done right the first time and you were very meticulous when it came to the details. Because of your responsiveness, the professional way you conduct business and especially your high-quality level of service, we often recommend your company to others.”

— Justin Durham, AIA, Hollis & Miller Architects
