The Big Fish Contracting Company of Bethel Park, received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award signifies The Big Fish Contracting Company has surpassed what is considered to be the most elite level for roofing contractors.

GAF is the largest roofing manufacturer in North America, and only GAF Master Elite Certified Contractors can compete for its residential President’s Club Award.

Achieving this level proves that a contractor is an established presence in the community, legally in good standing, committed to ongoing training, and all-around roofing excellence. To-date, less than 3% of roofing contractors in The United States have achieved this status.

“We value our certified contractors for raising the industry standard year after year by installing the best roofing products and systems,” said Jim Slauson, GAF’s VP of Certified Program & Services. Slauson added, “Our President’s Club award recognizes only those contractors who have distinguished themselves by the highest standards of excellence, customer satisfaction, and dependability.”

Founded by Benjamin Fisher, in 2015, with a mission to raise the bar in the residential roofing industry, The Big Fish Contracting Company quickly earned the GAF Master Elite status and a local reputation for outstanding customer satisfaction. The company has an established track record and maintains an A+ accreditation with the Better Business Bureau

“We’re very big on craftsmanship and building strong relationships within the local community,” said Fisher. “Focusing on doing high quality work and following it up with the kind of customer service that’s unheard of in this industry is what makes us so successful,” he added.

The company strives to not only bring value to customers, but to the community as a whole. “People who work The Big Fish Contracting Company have a genuine desire to solve problems and they gain satisfaction from a job well done,” says Fisher. “When they’re off the clock, they’re still answering roofing questions on Facebook or participating in community functions. This urgency and enthusiasm for raising the bar sets us apart from everyone else.”
