Johns Manville Announces 2014 Peak Advantage® Contractor Program Pinnacle Council® and Summit Club™

Johns Manville (JM), a leading supplier of commercial roofing products, today announced their Pinnacle Council and Summit Club members for 2014. These Peak Advantage program members met rigorous criteria with regard to quality installation practices, maintenance capabilities and commercial roofing knowledge to qualify for these elite statuses.

To say ‘thank you’ for earning a minimum of 7,500 Peak Advantage points, JM is hosting the 2014 Pinnacle Council contractors at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. For securing more than 2,500 Peak Advantage points, the 2014 Summit Club contractors will be hosted at either the Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada or the Ritz Carlton in New Orleans, Louisiana. JM will also showcase the contractors at the JM booth* at the International Roofing Expo in Las Vegas and in Roofing Contractor magazine’s IRE show dailies.

“Our Pinnacle Council and Summit Club members are at the forefront of the commercial roofing industry and demonstrate a consistent commitment to quality workmanship along with their partnership with Johns Manville,” said Ryan Rickerds, Peak Advantage program manager. “It is a privilege to honor this elite group and the competitive edge they’ve acquired through their ever-expanding product knowledge, application prowess and business standards.”
