Extensive Safety Considerations

We prepare by asking the right questions. Customer service teams ensure your project starts on the right foot.

When our Field Manager arrives to assess your roof, they’ll also incorporate the building’s interior. Knowing more about the building’s layout beneath the commercial roofing project creates key safety details.

Later, photos of your building’s exterior will help our Crew consider various elements that could impact your project. Clearance from overhead wires, light poles, signage, and other potential hazards must also be mapped out.

We will customize solutions to meet your unique roofing needs. We aim to exceed your expectations at every step of the process.

Review: "committed to excellence and expediency in the work they perform, and also the manner in which they do it."

Custom Designed Projects

During your roof assessment, Field Managers accurately measure every roof detail. Core samples of your roofing substrate are taken and analyzed. (Don’t worry; these holes will be sealed before we leave.) Then, using CAD images and photos, our estimator will detail your project down to the number of screws needed.

Because each project is custom, we plan for as many variables as possible. Written safety plans are crafted to meet each worksite’s specifications. For starters, we plan waste containment, Crew truck parking, and which crane to use. All of these details and more make up your customized Job Book.
