Croton Businessman Appointed to National Advisory Board

Owens Corning Roofing and Asphalt, LLC has appointed Mark Franzoso, President of Croton-based Franzoso Contracting, to the company's Platinum Advisory Board—a national prestigious honor awarded to contractors who have demonstrated a commitment to sustained excellence in all aspects of their business and who have a willingness to share their expertise.

“I am honored to be selected to serve on the Platinum Advisory Board of Owens Corning Roofing. I am looking forward to sharing what has made Franzoso Contracting the premiere home improvement and remodeling contractor in this area for more than 36 years--conscientious craftsmanship, superior customer service and quality products like those offered by Owens Corning,” said Franzoso.

The Board represents an elite group of contractors who share their market, product and technical expertise with the roofing manufacturer. Members bring a contractor’s perspective to studying and evaluating products and offering suggestions that support continuous improvement.

“We are excited to have these leaders’ voices and experience on our Advisory Board and we are honored they’ve committed to represent their fellow Owens Corning Platinum Contractors,” said Jason Lewinski, Owens Corning Contractor Network Leader. “Every Platinum Advisory Board member has demonstrated market leadership and a commitment to achieving and sustaining high levels of customer loyalty and satisfaction. There is simply no substitute for the perspective and insights of our market leading contractors.”

Franzoso's dedication goes well beyond his award-winning local business. He is currently President of Purple Heart Homes Downstate Chapter, a non-profit organization that betters the homes and lives of local veterans. He is also Past Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Hudson Valley Gateway Chamber of Commerce and twice has been honored as the Chamber Business of the Year.

By appearing in his own TV commercials and voicing his own radio spots, Mark is the recognizable face and voice of his company—and his brand. “Business is about relationships, business is about caring. Business is about delivering a great experience to every single customer every single time,” said Franzoso.

With the addition of Franzoso and four others, the Owens Corning Platinum Advisory Board is now comprised of 14 leading contractors from across the U.S.
