Item 4. Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountants

1.

On September 1, 2000, the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee of Euramax International, Inc. (the "Company") approved the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") as its independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000, to replace the firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") who were dismissed as auditors of the Company effective September 1, 2000.



2.

The reports of PwC on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.



3.

In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1999, and in the subsequent interim period through September 1, 2000, there were no disagreements with PwC on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused PwC to make a reference to the matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports in the financial statements for such years.



4.

The Company has requested that PwC furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter dated September 8, 2000, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.



5.

During the two most recent fiscal years, the Company has not consulted E&Y regarding: (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; (2) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and in no case was a written report provided to the Company nor was oral advice provided that the Company concluded was an important factor in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or, (3) any matter concerning a disagreement, as that term is defined in 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event with the former auditor (as described in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)).
