“Greetings my name is Aaron Snook I am currently the Quality Assurance Regional Manager for Minnesota and I have had many roles over my ten years of service with Duro-Last Roofing.

The first four years I was a Customer Service Representative (CSR) taking orders over the phone, online orders, emails, faxes and help coordinate the many shipping needs that help contractors start time sensitive projects. I soon took my knowledge of being a CSR to the Duro-Last Engineering and Exceptional Metals Department where I was able to quote projects for contractors, auto cad details for architects, design custom flashings and talk about the Duro-Last specifications with customers. By joining these departments I was able to expand on my knowledge of the Duro-Last roofing system which landed me in a Sales Coordinator position. While being a Sales Coordinator I was able to work with contractors on a one on one basis and help the Sales Reps finalize any issues that may arise. For the past year I have been the Quality Assurance Regional Manager for the Central Territory and overseeing Inspections being completed to specifications, Service Calls, and Pre-Inspection Warranties. Just a personal note I’m not married and have 3 dogs and a black cat”.
