Sunrise Exteriors roofing newsletter

February 08
Welcome to the first issue of the Home Improvement newsletter. One of the things about a roofing business is when the job is done we see nothing more of the homeowner.
This will be a way to stay in touch and also hopefully help homeowners with design, build ideas. And also make sure everyone is educated on making home improvement decisions.
This is also going to be a place to test my new ideas. I will be asking for lots of participation from my customers and readers. One of my dreams is to start doing green roofing. This is where you actually have dirt on your roof and have an actual garden or grass on your roof. I encourage every one of you to do research on this. By the way this might turn into the Steve Fisher newsletter more than the Sunrise Exteriors newsletter. Because I will be discussing most every idea I have. Each month I will include an update of my pet projects. I probably will undertake most of my projects with my brothers anyway.
So, getting started. First of all you have to exuse the format of this letter. As in, anything but professional. But I just want to get started and as I go along y’all can critique my writing style and the letter format.
One of my serious itches at this time is recycling asphalt shingles. If anyone is having a roof replaced, ask the roofer if the shingles get recycled. I spoke to a guy in who is recycling shingles there. He said if could find 5000 tons of trash shingles in a year it would be worth partnering with me. Anyone have advice on this kind of business?
Second idea this month. Roof cleaning. The idea would be to clean up the look of your roof without spending the money to replace it. With the economy how it is, it might be a good idea to save a little of your money. If this is of interest to you give us a call and we can do a free consultation on your roof. We will need to determine if its worth spending the dough to clean it if it needs to be replaced soon. We will do a thorough cost analysis and spell it out on paper for you.
Any kind of feedback can be submitted online at SunriseExteriors.com Click the feedback link, fill it out and then submit. Your comments will be reviewed and responded to. Be aware that any feedback will most likely be published in these pages. Any suggestions as to the content or publication of this letter will be much appreciated and will be taken into serious consideration. I’ve been dreaming about doing this for some time now. I’ve read and thought about how a person goes about publishing a newsletter of any kind and I have concluded that the way to learn will be to just do it and then correct as we move along.

Blessings and best wishes to you and yours,
Steve Fisher for Sunrise Exteriors
