ECMS Celebrates RMHC 165 Roofs!

Recently the Roofing Alliance, which is the foundation of the National Roofing Contractors Association, was approached with the opportunity to ‘adopt’ 165 individual roofs belonging to the homes of Ronald McDonald House Charities. On Saturday June 13th, the 165th day of the year, we celebrate the successful adoption of all 165 roofs!

East Coast Metal Systems, Inc. participated in the celebration as well. Other members of the Roofing Alliance offered multiple services including inspections, repairs, gutter cleaning and other preventative maintenance, provided items from their local RMHC Amazon Wishlist, or supported ‘Adopt a Night’, helping to subsidize a family’s stay at a Ronald McDonald House. We are honored to be part of such an impactful initiative and caring industry!

ECMS Featured in Metal Architecture News for Recent COVID-19 Donation

East Coast Metal Systems was recently featured on Metal Architecture’s website and social media pages following their donation of aluminum nose pieces for frontline workers. East Coast teamed up with Sheet Metal Workers Local 33 to make this possible and the outcome was awesome.

East Coast Vice President John Trifonoff said, “We’ve always had a great relationship with our local unions, and when we were asked to help, we were happy to do so. We’re grateful for the opportunity to assist in any way we can during this time of crisis.”

A little bit of help can go a long way and we are proud to be able to utilize our skills and resources in the fight against COVID-19.

ECMS’s Trifonoff and Wildern to Help Create Course for MCM Alliance

The MCA offers educational courses for architects to earn CEUs. The MCM Alliance (part of the MCA that focuses on metal composite materials) has one course already called Individual Parts Bring a Greater Whole.

The MCM Alliance decided to create another course building off of the one they already have (Individual Parts Being a greater Whole) but now having a more concentrated focus on fabricators. The task group is made up of a few fabricators, including East Coast Metal Systems, and some sheet manufacturers. The course is still in its early stages but we are so excited to have two of our very own team members be a part of it’s creation! Stay tuned for what’s to come!
