'Build now' says local contractor
‘‘Now is a good time to build or remodel your home,” according to Andrew Roach, general contractor. “With special FmHA (Farmers Home Administration) mortgages at nine per cent, and the cost of materials rising, building or remodeling can be very economical now. ” Specializing in commercial work, light industrial, steel framed and block structures and custom built homes, the Syracuse based company has kept exceptionally busy for the past few years. Roach attributes his company’s high level of activity to three things. First, they provide experienced, personalized analysis of the customer’s needs with recommendations and free estimates. Detailed estimates and competitive prices are accomplished by utilizing a business computer. Second, the company provides planning and designing of the project combining the customer’s space needs, original ideas and tried and proven construction methods. “We run a flexible operation, and can adapt most plans to the customer’s wishes,’’ Roach commented. Third, “We use the best products and innovative designs in our jobs as possible so as to give the customer the most for his money. We provide excellent workmanship by our carpenters and sub-contractors. ” Due to its three priorities. Booked At Jail A 14-year-old Syracuse girl and Donald Lee French, 29, r 2 Syracuse, were taken to the Kosciusko County Jail recently. The Syracuse teenager was taken into custody after being reported as a runaway. French was booked at the county jail on a charge of conversion.

Roach Construction is growing and receiving local recognition for its work including: building the new Day Care Center in Syracuse; remodeling the Laundry Basket; building new homes on Lake Syracuse and Dewart Lake; remodeling the Community Center at Turtle Bay; building the Conference Center at the AH Saints Episcopal Church: working on offices at Sea Nymph; and remodeling the store front at the Living Quarters. Roach further stressed the importance of effective communication with each customer. “Poor communication causes most problems in the builder’s relationship with the customer. This can be solved with both parties understanding all phases of the initial contract. Any changes during the project should be included in the contract with a change order. These change orders can solve the surprises, that many customers get when the job is finished. ” Roach has been involved in construction related jobs for 10 years and has been a general contractor since 1978. With his experience and his customer’s satisfaction, a reciprocal relationship is built between Roach and his clients. “Approximately 90 per cent of our jobs are received through referrals.’’ Roach also is the owner of Rainy Days Guttery and Quality Cedar Products. Respectively, they install seemless aluhnnum gutters and downspouts; and sell cedar products including cedar shingles and shales, cedar siding and paneling. With a growing reputation, experience and personal concern for customers. Roach puts a bit of himself into every job his company completes.
