Michael was born and raised in Hagen, Germany. As a young man, he studied for three years as an apprentice at the Lorenz Burmann Roofing School. He was trained by Masters Crsftsman in all aspects of roofing and sheet metal. He graduated as a Certified Roofer in 1980.

Over 30 years experience in tile & slate roofing

Since then, Michael has been steadily working in the tile & slate roofing trade, both in Germany and the United States - over 30 years experience. He has restored roofs on farmhouses and castles that were 850+ years old. He is also proud of the fact he has roofed many historical buildings throughout the Denver metro area and the Front Range.

Custom sheet metal work to compliment your tile or slate roof

Custom sheet metal work is another of Michael's outstanding talents. Originally, when he saw the tile and slate roofs he was installing, copper guttering was a unique and fitting "accessory" to a beautiful roof.

Michael developed the skills to work in many different metals including, copper, zinc-aluminum and copper plus a cost effective copper alternative particularly well suited to Colorado and often creates unique ornamentation such as copper chimneypots, copper beaver tail roofs and ornamental items for customers.

I have a passion for roofing with tile and slate. Additionally, any unique projects such as the fabrication of copper chimney pots, are special and enjoyable to create. But my job is to create, restore or preserve a roof exactly to my client's specifications.

Your Satisfaction is My Guarantee

I promise you personal service, expertise and a commitment to excellence. It is my goal to be a superior resource for product knowledge and availability - especially unusual or hard-to-find tile, roof ornaments and any other items needed to make your roof exceptional both in quality and appearance. "Your satisfaction is my number one priority."
