the Board
When the number one residential roofing
company in the state of Texas picks Berridge as
its choice of architectural metal roofing suppliers, that says something about our products and
service. We are very proud and honored to be
affiliated with Brinkmann Roofing Company and
BRC Sheet Metal. Since their entry into metal
roofing just three and a half years ago, Mike
Brinkmann and his team at BRC Sheet Metal
have become one of Texas' largest sheet metal
