By Duane Blankenship Greg Wolter founded Community Builders, Inc. and has served as its president for more than 30 years. The company offers home remodeling services to clients throughout Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas and Missouri. They are not general contractors, but rather specialize in the work they know best, and they do it well. This includes energy-efficient vinyl siding, replacement windows, gutter guard systems, high quality sunrooms, bath and Jacuzzi products, and metal roof systems. “We’ve always impressed customers with our professionalism, price competitiveness and customer dedication,” says Greg. “We’re grateful that customers continue to put their confidence in us by giving us the opportunity to provide outstanding products and services in
every remodeling project we do. We enjoy earning your respect and your business.” Now is a great time to think about roofs, and Community Builders recommends metal and stone-coated metal roofs by EnergyLoc. “A common shingle roof has a life expectancy of about seven years,” says Greg, “and even top-ofthe-line shingles generally last only about 11 years.” Community Builders offers metal and stone-coated metal shingles that carry 50-year labor and materials warranties. “While it’s true that our Energy-Loc roofing products cost more than composite shingles, one needs to compare the life expectancies of the products before making a final decision,” says Greg.
