Common questions
Can you work on our building after hours?
For many projects, yes. Tell us your schedule and we will plan the work to keep disruption to a minimum.
Do you handle commercial insurance claims?
Yes. We document storm damage on commercial roofs the same way we do for homes and work with your carrier's adjuster.
Is a coating cheaper than replacing our flat roof?
Usually, if the existing roof is still sound. A coating will not fix a roof with wet insulation or widespread failure, so we check the condition before recommending one.
