Cornell Roofing Listed as One of Ingram’s Top 100 Fastest-Growing Companies 0f 2016

After acquiring the 80-year-old company back in 2007, Mary McNamara has sunk everything she has into getting Cornell Roofing on track to becoming a stronger, better and more profitable company. With nearly tripled revenue since 2012 and an average annual growth rate of over 60%, Cornell is on the pathway to success, now employing 50+ full time workers. And Mary shows no signs of stopping.

Known for commercial roofing and sheet metal work, Mary runs this fully woman-owned business with over 30 years of industry experience and in eight years, has put this company back on the map focusing on Commercial, Healthcare, Education and Government projects. A few notable projects include: One Light Tower apartment complex located in downtown Kansas City, the new Burns & McDonnell Headquarters Building and the Truman Medical Office Building. With strict environmental and safety policies, Cornell is plowing along to become an industry leader in the roofing and sheet metal world.

A true entrepreneur, when Mary saw the opportunity with Cornell Roofing, she jumped at the chance and put every last penny into making it happen. Since then she has been able to take an almost century old company, maintaining the values that have guided it for so long, and grow it into a frontrunner of its kind, all doing so in a very man-centric world. Cornell has since become WBE and DBE certified in Kansas City and WBE certified in the state of Missouri.

No matter how far this company can go, Cornell maintains the “Cornell Way.” Promises made. Promises Kept. A leader in roofing and sheet metal, guided by Integrity, Dependability, Quality and Responsibility.

Cornell Helps Put a New Face on an aging KCP&L Property

The KCP&L Fleet and Maintenance building, located on the corner of Front Street and Chouteau Trafficway, has for decades been the site of tough duty, thousands of vehicles and maintenance projects had taken a toll on the facility.

The Fleet and Maintenance building had a brick façade that, after decades, was really starting to show its age. KCP&L was looking for a viable and cost efficient solution and Cornell worked closely with the project architects and engineers to come up with a creative way to stabilize the aging brick facade and give the facility a fresh look.

The solution? 16 gauge zee purlins around the entire perimeter of the building. Once the solution was agreed upon, Cornell’s team of skilled professionals installed the zee purlins to stabilize the brick facade. Once stabilization was complete, the building really started to transform as Cornell installed two colors of Dri-Design wall panels on the entire façade of the building.

This project was also significant in that it was put out to bid with a fast track schedule. Cornell worked within this tight time frame to complete the project with a few weeks to spare.

Another example of Cornell’s commitment to quality and professionalism.

Cornell, Promises Made. Promises Kept.
