Tin Man?

I like the names that suggest Eco/Green, or that the works is done correctly. For example Done Right is a local contractor.

A name that says "I'm eco-friendly" and "Mike Holmes won't need to redo my work" would get my attention. Personally I would avoid the Titan name, a year from now when your success means an upgrade to a "proper diesel work truck" the name Titan won't fit any longer.

I didn't have much time, so I just brainstormed - first a name and then general ideas, maybe they will help someone else to come up with something better

Reliable Roofing

security / trustworthy

warm / cool / ventilated / leak-proof / sealed / in control

elements / rain / snow / wind / sun

Control the Elements

Elemental Roofing

top / vault / coating / protection / layer / boundary / barrier / armour / shield



I like Elemental Roofing - some stuff I saw in the dictionary seems to allow it as a decent name.

Just a little advice, my buddy went through this a while ago when he was looking for a name for his hockey store. Everything normal was taken, and he went with Hockey Lion. It sounded really stupid when he first told me about it, but it worked out really well because he now has a cool logo/mascot and people don't forget the Hockey Lion.

Since then I've decided weird memorable names are the best. :cool:

I hate to be the grammar nazi, but...everything else is so well articulated that this one little thing stood out: the use of 'everyday' in the first sentence. Technically, the correct usage in this context would be 'every day' - as 2 separate words, it's an expression of time, like 'each day'. As one word, it's an adjective, meaning 'regularly or 'commonplace'', like 'an everyday occurrence'. It's a fairly subtle difference, and both seem applicable, but your sentence is not using it as an adjective, so...

Just a friendly observation, in case you get more postcards printed in the future... :)

Other than that, the card looks great - good luck with the business! :thumbup:

I was going to say something similar, Kremit. You know, as a guy that teaches English when not teaching Art.

Technically, "Robbs" ought to be "Robb's." It's a possessive thing. If there are a bunch of you named Robb, then Robbs'.

Like Kremit said, "everyday" ought to be "every day." Everyday can mean ordinary, or commonplace. You want to say "daily," I think, so you want "every day."

Comma after "Therefore" (not utterly necessary, but if you want OED English, then put a comma.)

Great catch phrase.
