Our Specialties

We specialize in a variety of roofing systems to suit your commercial property’s needs. Our single-ply roofing systems are affordable, easy to install, and durable. We offer three types of single-ply membranes:

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer): This synthetic rubber roofing membrane is perfect for flat or low-sloped roofs. It is highly resistant to UV rays, ozone, and weathering, making it ideal for extreme weather conditions.
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin): Made from rubber and plastic polymers, TPO roofing systems resist tears, punctures, and chemical damage. They are great for high-traffic areas.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): These membranes are highly reflective and energy-efficient, reducing energy costs. They also resist fire, chemicals, and strong winds.

In addition to single-ply roofing, we offer Built-Up Roofing (BUR). BUR systems have been around for over a century and consist of multiple layers of asphalt and ply sheets, providing a highly durable and long-lasting solution for commercial properties.

Diverse Roofing Materials

We also specialize in various roofing materials, including:

Asphalt Shingles: Affordable and common, these shingles come in various colors and styles, lasting up to 30 years.
Metal Shingles: Mimicking traditional roofing materials like slate, wood, or tile, metal shingles are durable and low-maintenance.
Wood Roofing: Providing a natural and rustic look, wood shingles or shakes are durable and can last for decades with proper maintenance.

Attachment methods

We can apply our roofing solutions in various ways:

Mechanical Attachment: We secure your roof with mechanical fasteners like screws or nails, one of the more traditional and conventional methods.
Induction Welding: Using welding fusion, the connection between the roof and structure itself is bonded as one.
Fully Adhered Attachment: Bond the bottom of the roofing material to the substrate and building structure itself. A very secure method for extreme weather conditions like wind or rain.

Maintenance

It’s important to realize that once a roof is installed, the work to ensure the roof remains stable and secure is not complete. Especially with the harsh weather that the eastern Kansas area experiences each year, regular roof maintenance and inspections is paramount to the sustained functionality of the roof, ensuring your business has little to no interruption below. We offer regular maintenance programs, along with routine inspections that will catch any potential issues with your roof before they become a more significant time and cost investment to fix.
