Which Roof is Right For Your Home? |
There are hundreds of different
roofing materials to choose from, each of them meant
to fulfill a specific need.
In helping you decide which roofing material will best serve
your needs, we only
use materials that are of good quality, competitively priced and
offer good
after-sales support. We remain on the cutting edge of new technology and
existing product improvements. The important factors to remember when choosing a
product are fire rating, weight, walk ability, durability, warranty, product
life-span,
maintenance, appearance (variety to choose from and whether it would
impact the
resale value of your home) and, of course, the cost.

Firestone EPDM Roof Membranes
Firestone's 100-year history of success and innovation in rubber
polymer technology ensures the quality and dependability of its EPDM Roof
Membranes. These membranes can be adhered, ballasted with rock, or
mechanically anchored.
We prefer to use 180 mil white rubber
with granules because it tends to last longer than the average black
rubber roof because it reflects the suns Ultra Violet Rays which can
break down the rubber. With White rubber you will get a longer
lasting roof.
