Jeff Leeper, Property Manager for Legacy Development, was presented the Winning Voucher, worth $1,500.00, by Bob Hoover, Cornell Roofing & Sheet Metal’s R&M Manager. Jeff commented, “This could not have come at a better time! We all know how tough the weather can be on roof systems here in the Midwest and LEGACY manages properties all across the city. So, I already have a building in mind.”
Cornell’s new Infrared camera, with two certified operators on staff, provides a great value compared to third-party offerings. “We know the business and have the kind of expertise that only comes with years of roofing experience” said Bob Hoover, who added, “We are excited that LEGACY won the drawing and look forward to working with Jeff to get a scan done on the building Legacy selects.”
Cornell Roofing & Sheet Metal, with over 90 years of roofing experience, continues to deliver on its Mission – to consistently deliver the highest quality commercial roofing and sheet metal products and services in the Kansas City region. “The addition of our new infrared service offering is just another way Cornell shows its ongoing commitment to be the best,” added Mary McNamara, Cornell’s President and CEO.
”We are always appreciative of recognition,” said Mary McNamara, President of Cornell. Mary added, “That is especially true when it comes from those companies in the trade such as Sika Corporation.” Mary added.
My Dad would come home with stories about work and he would study at home in the evenings learning all about roofing. He was so very happy. Over time, he would talk more and more about the projects he worked on, equipment that broke down and, of course, the people he worked with and met. Over the years the business thrived, and my Dad just loved it. 
Looking at pictures, I remember my Dad talked a lot about McCormick Place around 1985. It was always McCormick, McCormick, McCormick. By then, I was married and living in Kansas City. As it turned out, McCormick Place was a pretty big job and that was putting it mildly. Actually, it was one of the largest jobs in the country. Back then it was a $3.7 million-dollar job. In today’s world, it would be close to $10 million! After finishing that job, Dad spent time speaking to other groups of roofers about the logistics of a job that size. 
In 2017, Cornell Roofing & Sheet Metal celebrated its 90th Anniversary and we will continue that celebration into 2018! We have much to be thankful for and sometimes, in our busy lives, we forget to stop and take time to reflect on all that has been good and joyful during the past year.
We especially want to thank all our wonderful customers, for without your support and confidence in our ability to deliver on our promises, there would be no 90th Anniversary! We have a great family of team members who work hard, sometimes in sweltering heat or darn right cold conditions, always focused on our Mission to “Consistently deliver the highest quality commercial roofing and sheet metal products and services in the Kansas City region.” Our vendors, subs and the cooperation of other trades also plays an important role in our success and for that we thank you all. We also have celebrated new little ones entering this world, new team members and of course, the lives of friends and family we lost this year.
