Services
Commercial Roofing
Our commercial roofing solutions utilize Conklin products and advanced techniques to ensure leak-proof, energy-efficient systems. We specialize in single-ply membranes, metal restoration, and spray foam applications. Each installation prioritizes longevity, with systems designed to withstand extreme weather and heavy use across industrial and business properties.
Waterproof Decking
We install Duradek waterproofing systems featuring textured PVC membranes that resist UV damage, hot weather, and heavy foot traffic. Ideal for patios, pool decks, and commercial rooftops, our solutions include trim and sealant for seamless protection. Backed by a 10-year warranty, these systems offer both durability and aesthetic appeal.
Metal Restoration
Our metal restoration services extend the life of existing roofs through recoating and reinforcement. Using Conklin-approved materials, we address corrosion and leaks while maintaining structural integrity. This cost-effective solution enhances energy efficiency and weather resistance for industrial and commercial buildings.
Spray Foam
Spray polyurethane foam applications provide superior insulation and waterproofing for flat or low-slope roofs. Our technicians apply closed-cell foam to create a seamless barrier against moisture and thermal bridging. This lightweight solution improves energy efficiency while offering structural reinforcement for commercial properties.
Fabric Reinforced Systems
Fabric-reinforced roofing combines durable membranes with structural support for high-stress areas. We use factory-laminated materials to enhance tensile strength and puncture resistance. This method suits industrial facilities and commercial buildings requiring extra durability against mechanical stress and environmental factors.
