What is the new roof?

The new roof is Duro-Last 50 mil reinforced white PVC.  The roofing  membrane is mechanically attached through the old roofing material directly to the roof deck saving the expense of tear-off & new insulation and ensuring the most reliable resistance to high-winds.  Seams are welded with the safety of hot air and are permanent unlike taped seams.   The Duro-Last Supreme Warranty covers consequential damages, ponding water, and has no required maintenance reporting.  Duro-Last is  Energy Star® rated and highly-resistant to the expansion & contraction that degrade black roofs.   No TPO is used to make Duro-Last, only PVC that has been proven over the last 40 yrs.
