The Heart of the Rockies Chamber of Commerce September Business of the Month has been awarded to Troyer’s Coating Systems for their commitment to high quality business practices and outstanding mentorship.
Founded and owned by Moses Troyer, Troyer’s Coating Systems is a complete commercial roofing specialist with a particular focus on restoration. Troyer uses a system called “Conklin Roofing,” which is mostly spray-on. He works on all kinds of projects, including old roofs, old membranes, buildup, torch down asphalt, tar and gravel, and metal roofs.
Troyer has run over 70 workshops across the country and two dozen locally, sharing his expertise and offering mentorship opportunities for entrepreneurs starting their own roofing businesses. “He’s an incredible mentor,” said his wife, Martha Troyer.
Moses and his family first came to Salida in 2012 and after seeing the flat roofs of the historic downtown buildings, he saw an opportunity to help preserve Salida. He started doing business in Chaffee County in 2013 and on the weekend of July 4, the Troyer’s visited the farmer’s market and felt inspired to get involved with the community in a different way.
Commonly seen with the longest line of any booth at the Salida farmer’s market, you will find the full Troyer family slinging their handmade cinnamon rolls, donuts, hand pies, and other incredible homemade goods every Saturday. After 13 seasons, they have no plans to slow down and love the energy and connection that comes from their customers.
“Anyone that has a little bit of a dream, a vision, and a bit of want to- Salida will support you.” Moses Troyer and his family can be found at the Salida and Buena Vista farmer’s markets each summer and would love to talk about your roof or your next new favorite pastry. Give him a call at 719-942-3163 or visit troyerscoatingsystems.com.

The Heart of the Rockies Chamber of Commerce welcomed A&A Summit Cleaning Services, LLC to our membership with a ribbon cutting presentation.
A&A Summit Cleaning Services, LLC is a commercial and residential cleaning service company that serves anything from vacation rentals to construction sites, in many mountain communities throughout Colorado. The owner of A&A Summit Cleaning Services, Abby Martinez, opened her company with the goal of finding work that allowed her to spend more time with her children. As a working mother, Abby knows just how busy parents are, and how attaining peace of mind can come from having a clean-living space.
Throughout the 9.5 years of being in operation, Abby has expanded her business so that now she has a dedicated team that serves Chaffee County, Summit County, Grand County, Park County, La Plata County, Eagle County, and will be expanding to Steamboat this winter. A&A Summit Cleaning Services also offers snow removal, floor polishing, window cleaning, power washing, and cleaning out dyer vents to prevent fires.
What stands out regarding A&A Summit Cleaning Service’s business practices is their dedication to quality, backed by years of experience and a general passion for helping the community. As part of giving back to those in need, Abby occasionally offers qualifying low-income residents, complimentary cleans for those who really need, but cannot afford services. Abby also has her own rental properties, so she understands both sides of the vacation rental industry.

Quarterly Nonprofit Recognition: Salida Circus
The Heart of the Rockies Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that the Salida Circus has been named the Nonprofit of the Quarter for creating an atmosphere of inclusivity, involvement, and joy in our mountain community.
The Salida Circus is a group of performers including aerialists, stilt walkers, clowns and acrobatics, and is a welcoming place for everyone, regardless of your age. According to the Active Director, Laura Hart being part of the circus can bring out the best in you. Even if you think that there is nothing special about you, the circus will enhance your confidence, and help you find what makes you unique. There are roughly 60 people who are active in the Salida Circus, with about 35 performers. The door is always open for new people, and people who had been part of the circus to come back.
What is near and dear to the Salida Circus’s hearts is being able to provide courses and classes for their community members, regardless of one’s ability to pay. The Salida Circus offers scholarships to those who are in need, so that everyone can experience the circus!
The Salida Circus quite literally “has a lot of balls in the air”, with many different projects going on around Colorado, and the world. They are currently on a summer library tour throughout Colorado and New Mexico, offering a one man show, along with reading programs. A Kids Camp will be offered in Salida from June 24th-28th, from 9am-12pm. From July 3rd-July 18th, 10 members of Salida circus will travel to to Northern Ireland to train with other social circuses, as part of the International Exchange of Emergent Learners. In the summer of 2025, circus students from Ireland will come to Salida for a circus exchange.
When you get to know the international circus community and meet other circus folks from around the globe, the world feels smaller and more connected. In September 2023, Salida Circus was invited to headline the Bethlehem International Performing Arts Festival in Palestine. In previous years, the Salida Circus members have worked with circuses in Germany, Guatemala, Jordan, England, Turkey and Slovenia. This coming fall, Salida circus will bring workshops to local preschools and elementary schools as well as to middle schoolers at the Crest Academy.
It’s never too late to run away and join the circus, and we invite children of all ages and abilities to become part of Salida Circus.
