CEI’s Offices will be closed
Monday, December 25th – Tuesday, December 26th
for the Christmas holiday. We wish everyone safe travels and a white Christmas this year!
CEI is wishing everyone Happy Holidays! Last week everyone in the office and field had a great time getting together to share a meal and gift giving. This year’s presents were passed out along with safety checks for those in the field who worked hard all year long. The office team received raincoats ( for the men) and vests (for the ladies) after enjoying lunch together. The party then moved out into the shop where the field crews joined in and received sweatshirts. Great way to celebrate this holiday season!
At CEI, safety is built into everything we do. When most of your projects are in challenging working conditions, safety becomes an integral part of your business process. Not only are CEI workers trained and certified in best safety practices, but we discuss the unique safety challenges before every project, have monthly safety meetings with all roofing teams, and even reward our roofers with financial incentives for safe work performance.
We incorporate safety into every job site. Every CEI roofing project has a site-specific safety plan that takes the unique challenges into consideration. On each job site, teams gather every day for a safety briefing and review of the plan to assure safe working practices.

We are moving our way into the holiday season with Thanksgiving just a week away. The upcoming season means that more time is going to be spent with family and vacations than in this past summer and fall months. It also means that there is going to be some drastic changes in our weather (at least in Michigan).
It could be likely that an unfortunate event could happen with the roof of your building. This can be a stressful event, especially if it’s over the holidays!
CEI is here to help!
We want to make sure that you are covered over the holidays with any emergency you might have. We have an emergency line that our customers can call anytime or day during our holiday hours! Yet, we also want to service you in the best way possible. That’s why we have a couple reminders for you when you give us a call…
Make sure that you mention to our service rep these 4 things over the phone so that we can best serve you in your emergency.
As always, have a Happy Thanksgiving and holiday season!
