In 1975, Alf Curtis began with two employees: Alf and his wife, June Curtis. During the first year of operations, it expanded to include two new employees, including Alf's son, Larry Curtis.
The business initially began as a supply and installation company of aluminum products, including sidings, soffits, eavestroughs, storm doors, storm windows, awnings, and railings. Alf already had years of experience in installing these products before forming his own company.
“Fifty years in business is a milestone we’re incredibly proud of and we attribute our longevity to a few key principles that have guided us from the beginning,” said Brent Perry of Alf Curtis. “We’ve been fortunate to have a dedicated team—many of whom have been with us for decades—who share our values and take pride in what we do. Our success is really a reflection of their hard work and the trust our community has placed in us over the years.”
Prior to the lunch, Alf Curtis is kicking off their summer contractor appreciation breakfasts, serving coffee, donuts and breakfast sandwiches to their customers running from 7 a.m. to 9-9:30 a.m.
Vendors such as Isolofoam and Ideal Roofing are on hand to answer any questions a contractor or homeowner may have about their products and with giveaways.
Lunch begins at 10 a.m. and features guests from Castle, Pete Dalliday and the Peterborough Lakers and retired NHL referee Don Koharski. Alf Curtis is hosting a Q&A session regarding Koharski’s career as a professional NHL referee and with the Peterborough Lakers players.
“It is my understanding that a number of years ago Don was involved in a promotion with another Castle Building Centre member store in that area (Nova Scotia), he knew the owner personally,” explained Perry. “Don was invited to other Castle functions as time went on and he became the ‘Official Brand Ambassador’ for Castle Building Centers. A few months ago, we were chatting at a function we were both at. It came out in our conversation that it was the 50th anniversary for Alf Curtis this year and right away he offered to come to our location to help us promote our 50th.”
