Smiths Grove Roofs
Commercial Roofing in Smiths Grove
As a Smiths Grove commercial roofing contractor, we pay close attention to roof edges. Many buildings along the I-65 corridor sit on open ground, and wind hits their perimeters harder than the middle of the roof.
Once edge metal loosens, wind gets under the membrane and peels it back. We check edge fastening, coping joints and termination bars on every Smiths Grove roof walk. Storm checks after high wind cover the full perimeter, and loose sections are secured before the next front arrives.
- New edge metal and coping installed
- Termination bar reset along walls
- Wind-lifted membrane refastened and patched
