Village, Ohio, has held the position of director of
operations at Assurance Exteriors & Interiors, LLC.
There, Tom Cutura manages insurance claims,
provides sales support, and orders materials needed to
fulfill roofing and service needs.
Among the materials Assurance Exteriors & Interiors,
LLC, uses in its roofing jobs are Atlas shingles.
Utilizing Scotchgard Protector technology, Atlas
shingles are durable and deflect weathering caused by
environmental factors, like algae spores. In fact, Atlas
shingles that utilize Scotchgard technology are
manufactured specifically to resist algae and stains.

3.  Scotchgard Protector is made up granules
consisting of an inner mineral core coated
with copper, an element known to stop algae
growth. For an added layer of protection, a
ceramic coating, which surrounds each
granule, is then disbursed evenly over Atlas
shingles. This technology is how Atlas
shingles with Scotchgard Protector maintain
their visual appeal throughout their lifetime.
