Academy Roofing is a local roofing contractor based in Aurora, Colorado.
They have built a reputation over their nearly forty-year history as one
of the premier roofing companies in the state. And they love students
from Pickens Technical College’s Construction Technology and Property
Maintenance programs.
Both the Construction Technology and Property Maintenance programs at PTC
prepare students to work on properties in various ways. Construction Technology
is taught by Greg Shamburg, who has spent the last twenty-nine years teaching
at PTC. After learning in Shamburg’s classroom and by working on
real projects, many students become cost estimators, building inspectors,
construction managers, and specialized tradesmen and women. Students can
earn both their Construction Technology Certificate and their Advanced
Methods Certificate in construction after completing their course in Construction
Technology.
PTC’s Property Maintenance program gives students the entry-level
skills to perform inspections, complete preventative maintenance, and
complete repairs on residential and commercial properties. After completing
their Property Maintenance course, students can earn a Property Maintenance
Certificate, which they can use to find a job in the construction or maintenance fields.
Academy Roofing looks for skilled workers in the construction field to
give their community the best possible service in the roofing industry.
In the state of Colorado, having a sturdy roof you can rely on is essential.
For both residential and commercial customers across the state, Academy
Roofing is there to help choose the right plan for their needs and budget.
According to Academy Roofing, “Your home is your castle. You want
to make sure it’s not only up to code, but will last for as long
as you own your home. In addition to new roof replacement and repairs,
we offer a wide selection of products…”
These products include gutter installation and cleaning services, insulation
installation for roofs, walkable deck systems, and more. This wide range
of services and products demands professionals familiar with working on
these kinds of projects. Students in PTC’s Property Maintenance
and Construction Technology programs come out well-equipped to handle
these projects and more.
Many of Academy Roofing’s customers are businesses throughout the
state. Academy needs workers who can work with asphalt roofs, tile roofs,
metal and fabricated metal roofs, metal wall panels, and more. Academy
knows it can rely on students from PTC because they come from their Construction
Technology and Property Maintenance courses with a well-established background
in working with all of these materials.
An important part of any construction or maintenance job, especially with
a local company, is customer service and communication. PTC students learn
how to provide inspections and cost estimates while providing customers
with their best, most cost-effective options. Working alongside other
students and with the instructor builds teamwork and communication skills
that go a long way in any construction job, especially roofing jobs with
Academy Roofing.
Academy Roofing is one of the many local businesses lining up to hire PTC
students. They know that PTC students come with experience and skill,
and they are happy to help local workers find local jobs.
