Roofing contractors are essential workers whether in the commercial or residential market, but there’s little they can do to expand their business with COVID-19 health concerns and supply-line issues that aren’t expected to get much better before 2022.
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, there’s been a tight supply market that has many roofing contractors and facility owners considering the application of coatings and other fluid-applied materials on existing roofs in efforts to extend their service life until things get back to ‘normal.’
The original roofing system consisted of a single-layer felt underlayment, which was in pretty bad shape. The companies involved had to do some cleanup and replace some deck boards.
The Metal Construction Association has released a new white paper, “Retrofitting Existing Roofing with Metal.” The document details the benefits of installing a new metal retrofit roof system over existing conventional roofs.
The company’s new manufacturing and office facility in Portsmouth, N.H., constructed with insulated metal panels, reflects that bold and durable design.
The facility, which is designed to serve the broader community as much as its own employees, uses its metal roof as a calling card, because nothing says “natural gas utility” more obviously than 13,500 square-feet of metal panels finished in gas-flame blue.
