FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – JANUARY 2015
KINGSLEY, MICHIGAN — Springfield Inc., a commercial roofing contractor based in Kingsley, Michigan — located between Traverse City and Cadillac — is proud to announce it has received the prestigious Platinum Contractor Award from Duro-Last Roofing, Inc. of Saginaw, Michigan. The distinction places Springfield Inc. among the top 3% of Duro-Last contractors in the nation, a benchmark reserved for contractors who consistently demonstrate superior craftsmanship, safety standards, and customer service.
In addition to the Platinum Contractor Award, Springfield Inc. was honored with the John R. Burt Award at the annual Duro-Last National Sales Seminar in Orlando, Florida. The award recognized the company’s outstanding achievement in quality workmanship, customer satisfaction, and sales performance in 2013, and is presented to only a select group of Duro-Last’s authorized contractor network each year.
“These awards reflect the standard our team holds itself to on every project,” said a Springfield Inc. spokesperson. “Northern Michigan weather doesn’t make roofing easy, but our crews consistently deliver the quality and reliability our customers expect, no matter the conditions.”
A Legacy of Quality Since 1985
Founded in 1985, Springfield Inc. has spent nearly three decades installing high-quality roofing systems throughout Northern Michigan, using made-in-Michigan materials and Duro-Last’s factory-prefabricated, single-ply thermoplastic membrane technology. As an authorized Duro-Last contractor, Springfield Inc. installs roofing systems engineered to reduce field seams, minimize on-site labor, and provide long-term durability against wind, punctures, chemicals, and fire — all backed by one of the most respected names in commercial roofing.
The company’s dual recognition — both the Platinum Contractor Award and the John R. Burt Award — underscores a sustained track record of excellence rather than a single-year achievement, reflecting consistent performance across multiple review periods.
Springfield Inc. extends its congratulations and appreciation to its entire team for their continued commitment to delivering high-quality results for customers throughout the Kingsley, Traverse City, and Cadillac region, even amid the demanding conditions of Northern Michigan winters.
