CARMEL, Ind., April 1, 1998 - Rockwell Roofing, Inc. of Leominster, MA has been named a recipient of the 1998 Firestone Inner Circle Of Quality Award for its long-term commitment to quality commercial roof installations. This highly respected award was presented by Firestone Building Products Company, Carmel, Ind. at the 1998 Master Contractor Recognition Event held January 14-18 in Waikoba Village, Hawaii.

This is the sixth year Rockwell Roofing, Inc. has earned the coveted Quality Award. Additionally,
Rockwell Roofing, Inc. is one of only 58 firms internationally to receive this honor.

The Inner Circle of Quality Award was introduced by Firestone in 1993 to honor and reward a select
group of Firestone Master Contractors for their continuous focus on long-term quality. Rockwell Roofing, Inc. was named a 1998 Master Contractor earlier this year.

The inner Circle of Quality Award is presented annually to current Master Contractors whose long-
term roof performance, as rneasured by historical roof service costs, meets Firestone's established standards of excellence. Service costs are recalculated each year based on the cumulative service costs for each contractor's roofs in their fifth, sixth and seventh year of service.

"Firestone's reputation as a world class roofing Systems manufacturer has been due, in large part, to
the quality partnerships we've established with our contractors, suppliers and associates," said John Larimer, vice president of sales for Firestone Building Products Company. "As an organization, we
constantly focus on achieving even higher levels of quality in all aspects of our business. The Inner
Circle of Quality Award gives us an opportunity to identify and reward contractors who share this
goal. We take great pride in presenting this award to Rockwell Roofing, Inc."

Firestone-licensed applicators who have demonstrated a commitment to providing quality
installations of warranted Firestone Roofing Systems during each calendar year.
