Transcript

Daniel Robbins: Here we are again for another episode of Above It All, a podcast dedicated to the roofing industry by 麻豆直播app. Today I have the privilege of sitting with one of our Regional Service Managers, and that is Jeff Caldwell. How are you doing, sir?

Jeff Caldwell: Doing well, thanks.

Daniel Robbins: So Jeff, we are here today to talk about Logistics Lighting, our partnership with them, what the brand is, and then also kind of how that fits into our guarantees. So before we get into the guarantee part, tell us a little bit about what Logistics Lighting is.

Jeff Caldwell: So, Logistics Lighting is a skylight provider, kind of at a high level, right? I think if you look at their website, one of their slogans is 鈥淲e are skylight experts.鈥� They go a little beyond that. They鈥檝e got a few other offerings, but they鈥檙e kind of a one-stop shop for skylights. They can help you with design, they can help you with install support. They handle a couple of different skylight manufacturers if you, depending on what鈥檚 potentially [specified] on the project. So really, they kind of look at themselves and we look at them as kind of a one-stop shop for your skylight needs.

Daniel Robbins: So that鈥檚 pretty cool. And how common are skylights on projects?

Jeff Caldwell: It鈥檚 going to depend on the building use, right? But if you think about kind of the green energy, energy efficiency and how skylights play into that, I expect we鈥檙e going see an uptick as we were going to more renewable sources. It鈥檚 kind of free light during the day. Think about a lot of big box stores too, is kind of where I imagine you鈥檙e typically going to see them. Warehouses is a real popular one. If you think about walking into a Home Depot, there鈥檚 a lot of skylights there. And think about the size of these buildings. So if you鈥檙e a contractor or an owner that gets involved in one of these projects, a lot of times you鈥檙e not going to have three skylights. You鈥檙e looking at hundreds potentially, depending on the size and how primary of a source of light.

Daniel Robbins: So not to get too nerdy with it, but the skylights set up is really about energy usage mitigation in the building.

Jeff Caldwell: Yeah. It鈥檚 an alternative, right? So instead of having to run fluorescent lights or something and pay for that energy, just kind of a free source.

Daniel Robbins: It鈥檚 letting the heat come in through the skylight essentially.

Jeff Caldwell: Yeah, yeah. Right. Light, just not paying electricity bill kind of thing.

Daniel Robbins: Very cool. So, when we are moving into our systems and our guarantees, I know you guys have been talking about this more than ever here at JM. What is some things that would be valuable for our customers and other people to hear?

Jeff Caldwell: So not only the services we kind of talked about and we can get deeper into that. If you go to their website and reach out to them, Logistics Lighting definitely provides services to help you complete your project. But then, bringing that under the JM umbrella again, just kind of puts everything under one source, right? So we can include those, because of our agreement with Logistics Lighting, we have the option to include some of the manufacturers or skylights that they provide in your JM NDL, right? So then it鈥檚 all just under one company, right? It鈥檚 under us. So we kind of take care of everything as it comes in. And that coverage is just going to be right. It鈥檒l be very similar. It鈥檒l be the same of what you would get typically from that skylight manufacturer, but again, you鈥檙e working with us now. Because if you think about, right, this is all, it鈥檚 the roof really, right? They are an integral part of the roof.

Daniel Robbins: So it sounds like we鈥檙e making it turnkey, so to speak. And historically, what are some issues that you鈥檝e seen with people trying to use other manufacturers, maybe not even wrapped up in that NDL that you were talking about?

Jeff Caldwell: Right. So at that point, right, it [will] turn into a paperwork mess. 鈥淗ey, who did we buy those skylights from? How long ago was it? When did we do that? Where鈥檚 the paperwork for that warranty that we got from? What exactly is that coverage?鈥� Right? So here again, it just kind of consolidates it all. So you鈥檙e working with one person, we鈥檝e got the info, we鈥檝e got the paperwork from Logistics Lighting that we document in our system so we can keep it all straight for you. It鈥檚 a similar, we offer this in a few other aspects, like Edge Metals, kind of a similar thing. We can roll up Edge Metals under our guarantee. So I would look at it like a very similar situation to that.

Daniel Robbins: So ultimately, it sounds like these type of issues, if you didn鈥檛 roll it up into one NDL, one guarantee set up with us, at some point someone鈥檚 going to start asking questions and you could create more problems on the project such as lengthening the time of the project.

Jeff Caldwell: Yeah. Right. If you鈥檙e just working with us, it鈥檒l definitely keep things a little bit more efficient and consolidated in one location. And then even, I would say even more so though, it鈥檚 for the life of the roof, it鈥檚 a lot for the owner, right? So the owner then gets everything under the JM name and that鈥檚, right, keeping track of one piece of paper for your JM NDL versus five different ones for whatever else you got up there.

Daniel Robbins: Interesting. So, it really does, yeah, the contractor might have an easier time working with this, but also you said building owner and then the transfer, like if the building owner鈥檚 going to sell the building or anything like that, it ends up being an easier package to pass on, so to speak, right?

Jeff Caldwell: Right. Yeah, potentially.

Daniel Robbins: Very cool. Very cool. Well, so if customers and people want to learn more about this, where could they go right now? Who should they contact to talk more about this?

Jeff Caldwell: Yeah, so I鈥檒l pause on giving any specific names just because that will, for the longevity of this podcast as people change roles and come and go. But for sure, it鈥檚 obviously Logistics Lighting. They鈥檝e got a website where you can go and see some of the services they provide and the manufacturers of skylights that they provide. And then our inside tech team is who I would direct you to, either inside tech or outside sales. Well, absolutely have the most kind of up-to-date contacts and info on who to get in touch with.

Daniel Robbins: So get a hold of your local JM sales rep.

Jeff Caldwell: Perfect.

Daniel Robbins: And we will roll it up for you. We鈥檒l make it happen.

Jeff Caldwell: Get it taken care of.

Daniel Robbins: Well, Jeff, thank you so much for enlightening us on that. We are out of time. And until next time, everybody stay safe out there.

Jeff Caldwell: Awesome. Appreciate you Daniel.
