Company Info
Omega Roof is the source for specialty metal roof products. Based in Nevada, Omega Roof
is proud to offer the Omega line of metal tiles, shingles, shakes and panels in copper, steel, aluminum and zinc. Finishes include natural metal surfaces plus
coated steel, the finest in painted metals, and our unique porcelain coatings.
Whether you're after the more traditional "standing seam"
painted metal roof, a tile or shake profile in a coated steel, the distinction and elegance of copper or zinc, or the rustic charm of natural steel, Omega Roof
is certain to satisfy your desire for something beautiful, permanent and "different."
Living and working in the Western USA, our decades of
experience have taught us that metal roof products offer the best solutions to the problems posed by extremes of weather. No other material available resists
the problems of high winds, intense sun exposure and freeze-thaw cycling. And metal does all of this while being comprised of recycled materials, making it
among the most environmentally friendly products you can use.
We pride ourselves not only in our selection of interesting
styles and materials, but also in our knowledge and perspective. We love to assist in the design and product selection of roof materials, whether it's for a
new construction project or a remodel or restoration. Please examine our portfolio and if you don't see what you're after, but think metal might suit your needs,
simply contact us for assistance.
Christopher Testa President
My experience in the construction industry began with a summer job while attending
Toronto's York University. As assistant to the Quality Control Supervisor for the General Contractor on condominium construction projects, it was my job to list
quality defects in the sub-contractor's work. Our policy at the time was to give the subs the opportunity to repair their defects or have us do the repairs for
them and bill them back. This gave me the opportunity to closely examine and understand the construction process from digging foundations to pouring concrete,
framing, insulation, drywall, electrical, plumbing, windows, doors, roofing, siding, painting and masonry. This unique responsibility hardly made me an expert
in all of these fields, but I did learn enough to be able to distinguish quickly between the pretenders and the craftsmen.
When I left school, I began work as a sales agent for a construction company
in Calgary that specialized in renovation work. That's where I first became familiar with metal roofs for residential applications, and in 1980 we began
installing metal tile roofs. Leaving that contracting company in the mid 80s to start my own sunroom component manufacturing business, I continued my association
with metal roofs as one of our major customers was a manufacturer and installation contractor of metal roof products.
As the construction industry evolved, I began focusing exclusively on metal
roof products and by the 90s became again the agent for a couple of my favorite manufacturers of specialty metal roofs. I've been doing the same thing ever since,
incorporating Omega Roof in 2001 and adding my own designs and proprietary products along the way. I truly enjoy the renovation side of the construction industry
and am always excited by historical restorations and all sorts of residential reconstruction and upgrades.
On a personal note, I was born in Manchester, UK, and raised in Calgary,
Alberta, Canada. I am now a long-time resident of lovely Reno, Nevada, where I'm happily married with three children and a grandson and granddaughter. Some of my hobbies include
bridge, hockey, badminton, and designing architectural details.
