We are a full-service flat-roofing
company that applies proven techno-
logical solutions to repair, restore
& maintain your commercial,
industrial & institutional roofs.

Commercial Roofing is a Trade and as such it is as much art as it is science. The manufacturers provide the science that brings us new products and processes but it's the contractor that becomes intimate with actual application and ultimate success or failure of the roof system.

Our industry provides us with a basic set of minimum or acceptable practices but each contractor brings with them a tool bag of "Time Savers" and "Rules of Thumb". This can make it difficult for building owners and managers to make qualitative decisions based on the "Perception" of an "Apples to Apples" comparison. In reality, even equivalent roof systems will often turn out differently when done by different contractors depending on their concern relative to the cumulative result of their "Time Savers".

With that in mind let me introduce you to the Roofco perspective. Our focus on the repair and maintenance of flat roofs brings with it an unusual perspective when looking at the Re-Roofing process.

In short, "WE SEE THE END RESULT OF POOR PRACTICE!"

That experience puts us in a unique position relative to the design and selection of roofing systems.

We know…

• Systems that have been around for 20 years are still "NEW SYSTEMS" in our industry. A long period of time is required to develop the body of statistical data necessary to properly evaluate and guarantee new systems.
  
• That 80% of all leaks occur at perimeters and projections and that this is often more closely related to the material used than to contractor practice.
  
• That all roofs will fail eventually and that planning for the eventuality of repair and ultimately replacement, at the time of installation, is just plain good sense.
  
• That mechanical fastening causes problems when the roof comes off. We also know that electrical contractors commonly run conduit in the flutes of steel decks and that these are not visible when screwing from the roof side of the deck (punctures and shorts do occur).
  
• When selecting a system that should last 25 years you should be confident that there will be someone around in 15-20 years who will know how to repair the one you buy today. Make sure that the process you choose is not so unique that it will become hard to get or too expensive to afford.
  
• That redundancy is key to long-term performance. Multiple layers allow time to identify and fix weather related deficiencies before they become active leaks.
  
• That annual inspections save money.
