Member Update:
Country Comfort Homes, Inc. at Southern Ideal Home Show Country Comfort Homes, Inc. of Sparta, N. C. will be introducing a new roof system to this area at the Southern Ideal Home Show. The roof has been around for fifty years but new to our area. The Southern Ideal Home Show is held in Charlotte, NC on August  23rd through the 25th. Through years of commercial and industrial construction and during the years since Country Comfort Homes was formed in 1990, owner Pete Pyles has never been so excited about any product as the aluminum shake shingle roof. Because of their reputation for quality log home construction and fair and honest dealings with customers, Pete was recruited to represent a roofing company with a parallel history, "Classic Metal Roofs". For more information on Pete and his work with the Classic Metal Roofing system, visit the Country Comfort Homes website. Or call 336-830-4445. |
