Redmond company recognized by local Chamber of Commerce REDMOND, Wash., May 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Legacy Roofing, a Redmond, Wash.-based roofing installation company, is proud to announce its selection as one of three finalists for the Eastside Business of the Year award. The Bellevue Chamber of Commerce recognized Legacy and two other finalists at its annual Eastside Business Awards luncheon held this past Tuesday. The Eastside Business of the Year award recognizes the superior performance of an Eastside business by examining its three-year history of revenue growth, the strength of its leadership team, and its history of recognizing and seizing market opportunities. Each year the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce receives up to 200 applications for awards in six categories, and a panel of regional business leaders selects the top performing companies from each category. Legacy Roofing received the Emerging Business Award in 2006. Owner Cliff Hurn credits Legacy's success to its companywide commitment to a Gold Standard(TM) for quality and service. "All Legacy employees operate by the standard from the first sales call through final inspection, and undergo continuous training on the latest roofing techniques and products," Hurn says. "As a result, sales have skyrocketed from $6.3 million in 2001 to more than $24 million in 2006." The company began as a contractor serving new construction builders in 1988 and expanded in 1992 to include residential roof removal and replacement. The company also added a home improvement division in the 1990s that became an independent company in 2004, and now does remodeling, windows, siding and decks. Legacy Gutter Services, launched in November 2005, is the latest addition to the Legacy Roofing family of companies. This honor is the latest in a string of recent recognitions and awards for Legacy. The Puget Sound Business Journal recognized Legacy as one of the state's 100 fastest growing private companies in 2005 and 2006. Replacement Contractor, a national trade magazine, featured the company's pioneering marketing and business success in a February 2006 feature profile. Legacy also earned a 2005 Master Builders Remodeling Excellence (REX) Award for restoration work on a historic, 100-year-old home in Bellevue, Wash.
