Mike Sears - Commercial Property Specialist Commercial Division The Pro Built Restoration commercial division has solutions for your commercial property that have a nice blend of low cost, longevity, and great looks. As a commercial property owner or a management company, we understand how important it is to have an ally working with you to find cost effective and lasting solutions to keep your property up and running the way you need it to. Since the age of 18 when he worked on his first commercial roofing project as an installer, Mike has been interested in commercial properties. He has worked on a variety of projects ranging from apartment complexes to huge shopping malls and has the hands on experience that allows him to come up with great solutions for our customers. Spurred by a wrestling scholarship, Mike left the industry for several years to pursue a graduate degree in Spinal Trauma Surgical Devices. After a stint working in medical devices he realized that he missed the fast paced problem solving environment that is commercial construction. In 2012 Mike came back to the construction industry and is now the head of Pro Built Restoration s commercial division. The Pro Built Restoration Commercial Division has solutions for your commercial property that have a nice blend of low cost, longevity, and great looks. 2
Commercial Insurance Claims Often times storm damage goes unnoticed on commercial properties, often leading to long term problems that prove very costly for the property owners. This can happen for a variety of reasons, the main one being that most commercial construction companies don t train their estimators on what to look for. That s not to say that they aren t more than qualified to make repairs or complete the work that needs to be done, they simply are not familiar with the insurance restoration process. At Pro Built Restoration our goal is to provide a superior product at minimum out of pocket expense to our customers, and often times working with your insurance company is the best solution if there is storm damage on your property. That is why Pro Built Restoration began opening local offices and employing local people to run those offices. We establish warranty funds and offer our customers an industry leading Lifetime Warranty on our workmanship. We don t travel around trying to make a quick buck like many contractors that you hear about in the news. If you have already filed an insurance claim and are trying to get bids to fit within the parameters of what they have allowed, you may be shooting yourself in the foot. Here s why: insurance companies have many years of experience and knowledge on how to minimize and delay settlements. That is not to say that all insurance companies will do this, but here are a few examples that we have run into over the years. HEATHERS ESTATES APARTMENTS IN CRYSTAL, MN Claim started at $16,893 for some minor roofing repairs. After Pro Built Restoration did our inspection we found that not only did that not cover the cost to properly make the repairs that were approved, there was extensive damage that had not even been addressed. The total of the claim ended up being over $308,000! Over $291,000 difference; and we were able to address all of these issues without having to get attorneys or public adjusters involved - which saved them over $30,000 in fees on top of that. CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD - TEMPLE 203, FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS, IL Claim started at $28,581 for roof repairs after a hail storm caused damage to the roof and several other items. Through the use of a contingency agreement we were able to help them address the damage sustained to their stained glass windows, metal steeple, EPDM flat roof, entire steep slope roof, gutter system, and interior leaking. The total claim ended up at $79,671... more than 3x the amount initially offered by their insurance company. Find out more: www.probuiltrestoration.com 3

Richard Rybak and Chris Nidelkoff with one of three excellence awards presented to the company Chris Nidelkoff Co-owner/Operations Mgr Richard Rybak Founder and CEO A Letter from the Owners We d love to be the company that helps you through this process My name is Chris Nidelkoff and I am the Co-owner and National Operations Manager for Pro Built Restoration. Myself, along with the Founder and CEO Rich Rybak, would like to take the time to thank you for sitting down with one of our project managers. As a company we have helped thousands of home and business owners through the insurance restoration process. We d love to be the company that helps you through this process too! Over the years in this business we have seen it all... contractors stealing money from homeowners, insurance companies denying legitimate damages, contractors using inferior products to save a few bucks, and companies claiming to be insurance claim specialists without having a clue what they are doing. That s the reason we opened our storm restoration division. Rich and I are tired of seeing good people getting taken advantage of because they didn t have the knowledge of how the whole process really works. Whether or not you choose to let Pro Built guide you through the maze of insurance guidelines, regulations, building codes, compliance issues, and selecting the right material for your home we trust that you will be better off to make an informed decision after hearing what we have to say. Thank you, Rich and Chris 5

Ideal for low-slope and steeper slopes. Lasting Restoration or Repair Keeps Existing Roofs Operating Efficiently Every year that a building owner can keep the existing roof operating efficiently, keeps money in their pocket. Comprising nearly one-third of operating costs, energy consumption is the single biggest expense to commercial building owners today. Investing in an energy efficient roof can reap substantial savings. Energy Efficient Roofs While Mule-Hide A-300 FINISH has been independently tested to EPA guidelines with results of initial solar reflectance values up to 86% and 3 year aged values up 10 72%, plus emissivity values of 91%, can reduce surface temperatures on metal roofs by as much as 50 F and interior temperatures by 15 F. Extends Roof Lifecycle Advances in polymer chemistry have resulted in these professional grade products that protect building assets by extending the life of the existing roof. Easy to Repair Scrapes or gouges in coated areas are usually repaired simply by cleaning and applying new product to the damaged area where it bonds to the existing coating. Flexibility Thermal shock, settling and seismic action can affect roofs. Elastomeric Acrylic Coatings remain flexible in hot and cold temperatures (from -15 F to 200 F) to accommodate building movement and will not crack or blister like non-elastomeric paints and coatings. 12
13 Metal Roofing
Metal Roofing Longevity Steel roofs can last a lifetime, lower energy costs, survive more extreme weather and are backed by a better guarantee than almost any other roofing product on the market. For more than a decade the experts at Pro Built Restoration have brought you innovative steel roofing concepts including metal shakes, shingles, and standing seam applications: all with a wide variety of colors and styles. Get a Better ROI Steel roofs retain their value better than asphalt shingles because of superior resistance to wear and tear. They may also get you an insurance discount (talk to your agent) and the warranty is usually transferable one time to a new owner. Going Green Steel roofs are environmentally friendly, 100% recyclable, made from a minimum of 25% recycled materials and significantly lower your energy bill by deflecting heat in summer and retaining heat in winter. Stand up to Extreme Weather As weather continues to get more volatile, you ll appreciate the staying power of steel roofs. Our steel roofs are tested for UL2218-Class 4 Rating for hail, and UL 1897 test for winds. They withstand winds of up to 160mph, well above the industry standard, To give you an idea of that kind of strength, Hurricane Sandy reached winds of 90mph. 14
