A Trusted Resource for Energy Savings: Neighborhood Roofing Co.’s Experience with SBAM Energy Solutions
August 4, 2026
For many small business owners, energy costs are simply another expense to manage. But understanding where those costs come from – and knowing what opportunities exist to reduce them – can make a meaningful difference over time.
That’s exactly what the team at Neighborhood Roofing Co. discovered through SBAM Energy Solutions.
Based in Southeast Michigan, Neighborhood Roofing Co. has been serving customers for 50 years. As a long-standing roofing contractor, the company understands the value of making informed business decisions and working with trusted partners.
When Neighborhood Roofing Co. became a member of SBAM, Energy Advocate Caile Richards connected with the team to offer a complimentary energy assessment. That simple conversation opened the door to new savings opportunities and continued support.
“Working with SBAM Energy Solutions has been a very positive experience,” said Joy Davis-Meadows, owner of Neighborhood Roofing Co. “The team has been incredibly helpful throughout the process – not only by helping us navigate rebate opportunities, but also by identifying ways to reduce our natural gas costs. Those savings have made a real difference for our business.”
The benefits extended beyond the assessment itself.
One of the things Davis-Meadows values most is having a knowledgeable resource available when energy-related questions arise.
“It’s reassuring to have someone I can reach out to when we’re making business decisions related to energy,” she said. “Having a responsive contact who is willing to answer questions and help us find the best solutions has been incredibly valuable.”
That personalized guidance is a core part of SBAM Energy Solutions. The program helps Michigan small businesses better understand their energy usage, identify savings opportunities, and navigate available rebates and utility programs, starting with a complimentary energy assessment.
For Davis-Meadows, the recommendation to other business owners is simple:
“Talk to Caile. Don’t delay – it’s worth the time. Not only does he help with the assessment, but he’s also a very helpful and trusted resource for future questions that come up.”
