Brannon Brothers
Roofing Co., Inc.
Glenn, Roy and Grady
Brannon - Owners
A good roof is an all-im
portant factor in the protec
tion of your building invest
ment and a firm well known
for the installation and main
tenance of all types of roofs is
the Brannon Brothers Roofing
Co., Inc. in Rome at 213*6
Wilkerson Road, phone
234-6441.
Your roof represents only
about 3 per cent of your build
ing investment, it is said. Yet,
its value is out of all pro
portion to its cost; for a roof
acts as a guardian of your
building and all its contents.
Just as you take inventory
of any possessions periodically,
so should you check up on
your roof. Let these roofing
specialists examine your roof.
They may find defects that can
easily be remedied, but which
if neglected might soon dan
gerously weaken your roof. Or
again they may discover that
your roof is so badly worn that
it needs a new covering to pro
tect it and to prevent a costly
leak.
If you are an experienced
roofing specialist contact
Glenn Brannon today. He
needs additional help and will
pay top wages.
This 1970 Review edition
and its compilers are pleased to
recommend the Brannon
Brothers Roofing Co., Inc. to
our readers as one firm who
does the job right at an honest
price!
