Lonnie
Carolan and Cory McKibben are the principals of Pella
Roofing & Insulation. Lonnie was in roofing for
7 years prior to the establishment of Exteriors Unlimited
Inc. He began working for a Commercial roofing company,
after graduating from college. He balanced his time
in the field working on roofs as well as taking care
of sales and the day to day office operations. In the
seven years, Lonnie worked his way up to General Manager
of the entire operation of the company. Cory McKibben
started the school of hard knocks right out of high
school beginning with the restoration of automobiles
and soon moved into building restoration. He tuckpointed,
painted and restored all aspects of buildings for eight
years prior to the establishment of Exteriors Unlimited,
Inc.
In 1996 the idea of combining both Lonnie's and Cory's
expertise would allow EU the ability to restore an entire
building from the ground to the roof, hence the name
Exteriors Unlimited. During the winter of 1997 Lonnie
and Cory started the ground work for the new up and
coming company. The company was started with the number
1 rule being customer satisfaction. Both agreed that
there were too many companies out to make a buck instead
of having the ethics "honest work for honest pay". With
that rule established the company began, working out
of a basement with two computers and a small two stall
garage with two trucks, one trailor and four employees.
With in the first two years the company's number 1 rule
paid off allowing them to build a new shop, office and
purchase new equipment and trucks in which to do the
finest work possible. Exteriors Unlimited also hired
four more new laborers and to this day still retain
the services of these same employees since the beginning.
All employees are trained at seminars each and every
year to keep them up to date on any changes or new ideas
in the industry.
By the third year, 1999 Exteriors Unlimited went Incorporated,
establishing the company as a separate entity in the
credit world, allowing them the ability purchase any
equipment and insurance needed to handle any and all
projects. EU Inc. had three full crews running and hired
a second salesman to handle all the incoming calls that
were received because of "word of mouth" advertising.
EU, Inc. begun doing work for companies as large as
Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, Fed Ex , Winnebago Industries,
as well as smaller business in and around the state
of Iowa. Also in 1999 Exteriors Unlimited Inc. acquired
a smaller roofing company that solely did Spray Polyurethane
Foam (PUF) Roofing Systems and began a new division
of their company.
During the winter of 1999-2000 to help them maintain
their number 1 rule "Customer Satisfaction" EU Inc.
networked there offices in order to handle all there
customers with up to date technology. This new technology
gave them the ability to pull up customer information,
pictures, drawings etc. at a touch of a button.
