Eagle Roofing Products Celebrates 20 Years of Success
Rialto, Calif., October 16, 2009 ¡ª Eagle Roofing Products celebrates 20 years of listening to
customers and working diligently to be their company of choice. The company¡¯s success over the last
two decades is a testament to the strong relationships between trade partners and the people of
Eagle. Eagle is grateful to both its long-standing and new customers for support through the years
and looks forward to many more years of mutual success.
Eagle¡¯s very first concrete tile order was purchased on October 16, 1989 by Valley Roofing (formerly
Fanning Roofing) for a new home built by Bowden Development. Eagle is proud to say that Valley
Roofing continues to be a valued customer today.
Founded in 1989 as an American owned and operated family company
Eagle Roofing Products is a division of Burlingame Industries, a California based privately held,
family-owned organization that has been in the roofing industry for over 40 years. From these family
roots, its business philosophy and vision have blossomed. Eagle began operations in the fall of 1989
with one high-pressure concrete tile extrusion machine. Today, Eagle operates concrete tile and
lightweight synthetic roofing material plants across the country. The company has also expanded to
provide rooftop solar solutions for both residential and commercial applications.
¡°Eagle has expanded considerably over the years, both in terms of geography and product options.
While we are proud of our expansion, we always keep our ultimate goal in mind¡ªproviding superior
customer service to each of our valued customers, large and small,¡± said Seamus Burlingame, chief
operating officer of Eagle Roofing Products.
The Eagle Way is a commitment to understanding our customers¡¯ individual needs
Over the years, Eagle has grown due to a philosophy that revolves around growing personal
relationships. The vision starts with our employees and is reflected in relationships with customers
and business partners. Having built a reputation as the preferred company to do business with, Eagle
listens to customers and reacts quickly to satisfy their needs.
¡°Eagle understands that every employee, customer and supplier has a choice,¡± said Kevin
Burlingame, president of Eagle Roofing Products. ¡°Eagle wants to be the company of choice for our
team members and their families, our customers and their customers and our suppliers.¡±
From traditional concrete roof tile to innovative solar solutions and energy saving roofing
From concrete roof tile to lightweight synthetic wood shakes to the Eagle Solar Roof and Energy
Saving Roof, Eagle focuses on developing products our customers need now and anticipating the products they¡¯ll need in the future. Eagle has committed significant resources to develop a cohesive
green building program called Eagle Green which is focused on delivering energy-efficient products
and systems. Eagle Green includes products and environmentally responsible practices that will
provide greater energy efficiency, reduce waste and pollution as well as preserve needed resources.
These products include: the Eagle Solar Roof, a rooftop solar solution for residential and commercial
projects; ENERGY STAR and Cool Roof Rating Council approved Cool Roof Tile, reflective roof
tile that helps to reduce cooling costs; the Energy Saving Roof, an installation system that allows for
ventilation between the tile and roof deck resulting in less heat transfer into the home or building;
and an environmentally responsible manufacturing process that employs pre-consumer recycled
content in the manufacture of concrete tile as well as energy efficient air compressors and lighting in
Eagle¡¯s plants.
According to Eagle¡¯s Founder and Chairman, Bob Burlingame, ¡°When we founded Eagle back in
1989, I knew its success was dependent on listening to customers and doing all we could to meet
their needs. Recognition of each customer¡¯s individual situation is the key to building strong and
lasting relationships. I am proud to say that Eagle Roofing Products is successful today, 20 years after
its first order, because we understand the needs of our customers.¡±
