the quality and performance of roofs installed by

Mandalls, Inc .•• Since

1946, Dedication to Quality is Foundation for Success

Mandai's, Inc. began as a partnership between the late Frank

F. Mandai and James A. Cooper, now retired . Founded in

1946, the Gulfport, Mississippi based contractor operated as

Mandai's Roofing and Sheetmetal Works until Mr. Mandai's death

in 1963 when the firm was incorporated as Mandai's, Inc. Through

more than five decades of growth, Mandai's has become one of

the Gulf South's leading roofing contractors.

Any company can claim it has a commitment to excellence

but Mandai's has demonstrated its commitment through more

than fifty years of client satisfaction. Mandai's has been the re

cipient of numerous awards, including four letters of commenda

tion from the U.S. Navy, an honor bestowed upon few contractors.

The Grand Casino in Gulfport, Mississippi is a good example

of how Mandai's has applied all its resources to solve special

roofing problems: The huge floating casino required a brlghtly

colored aesthetic appearance, yet capable of withstanding 100

m.p.h. winds. The unique curved roof design was covered with

metal roofing panels formed on site with a Berridge portable roll

former and coil material prefinished with 20-year PVDF bright blue

paint. Mandai's completed the entire project within 90 days and

received a national award citation from the Associated Builders &

Contractors, Inc. for this outstanding achievement. The Grand Ca-

caterJ to Quality

.. We are committed to doing only the high

est quality work and Berridge site-forming equipment and coil material lets us do this _. we can do a totally custom job to fit exact as-built conditions. There's no time delay because we have total control over our production schedule."

James F. Cooper, President

sino project was managed under the direct suppervision of Chris

Cooper, Vice President of Mandai's .

As James Cooper, Mandai's president states, "our first project

with Berridge was the Grand Casino. By using Berridge coil mate

rial and on-site forming equipment we were able to exercise total

control over both quality and production scheduling." We used

matching Berridge flat sheet to fabricate custom flashing and trim

for the project." Mr. Cooper sums up Mandai's business philoso

phy this way: "We are committed to doing only the highest quality

work and Berridge site-forming equipment and coil material lets us

do this -- we can do a totally custom job to fit exact as-built condi

tions. There's no time delay because we have total control over our

production schedule. We have an uncompromising commitment to

excellence -- on time with no problems, no excuses and no leaks."
