City heat islands push attic temps high, stressing shingles and HVAC. We counter with reflective surfaces, balanced ridge and intake ventilation, and sealed penetrations that block wind-driven rain.

Noise control is part of city courtesy. We set defined work windows, communicate them in advance, and keep hammer time predictable.

Insurance can be stressful, so we gather photo evidence, mark hail or wind impacts, and meet adjusters onsite. Clear packets accelerate approvals and keep projects moving.
Commercial and mixed-use roofs need low-slope solutions that resist ponding and cut heat. We deploy TPO, PVC, or coated metal with tapered insulation to move water off the deck.
