Duro-Last, Inc. has announced the winners of its annual category-specific Duro-Last Project Awards. The Saginaw, MI-based manufacturer of custom-fabricated, thermoplastic single-ply roofing systems announced the news earlier this year at the companys national sales seminar in Orlando, FL. These Project Awards were created to honor Duro-Last contractors who complete outstanding commercial roofing projects in various categories. We know our contractors work hard all year and want to recognize them for outstanding workmanship, best practices, and innovation while using Duro-Last products, said Steve Ruth, vice president of sales and marketing.

Project of the Year: JBK, Inc. of Corbin, KY Project: Lynn Camp Elementary SchoolRoof leaks had started to interfere with the daily activities of Lynn Camp Elementary School in Corbin, KY administrators knew it was time for a new roof. To maintain the buildings current design and blue color, JBK, Inc. presented a metal retrofit option using the Duro-Fleece membrane with the Duro-Last Vinyl Rib system more than 52,000 linear feet. By utilizing this system the project was completed in 90 days, several months sooner than a new metal roof would have taken.

Custom-Fabrication: Roof Management Co., Inc. of Farmington Hills, MI Project: Cambridge Plaza After repairing the roof and working with property manager Ross Financial for years, Roof Management was hired to install a custom-fabricated 50 mil Duro-Last membrane on the 103,000 square foot Cambridge Plaza project in Hazel Park, MI. They were able to complete the entire project with no disruption to any of the building tenants.

Edge-to-Edge & Deck-to-Sky: Baker Roofing Co, Inc. of Stockton, CA Project: E & J Gallo Winery Since 1933, the E & J Gallo Winery has been producing high-quality wine in Northern California. When Baker Roofing Company was selected to install a new roof on one of the buildings on the vineyards grounds, they were honored to work with a company with so much history. This distinctive building required several Duro-Last and EXCEPTIONAL Metals products, including edge metal that needed to match the metal on the windows. With the help of the EXCEPTIONAL Metals team, which worked directly with the glass company to make sure the colors matched, the end result was striking.

Metal Roofing: Moser Roofing Solutions LLC of Lancaster, PA Project: OST Trucking Inc. For a busy trucking warehouse like OST Trucking in Baltimore, MD, shutting down operations to install a new roof is not an option. When Moser Roofing Solutions proposed installing the EXCEPTIONAL Metals EM Retro-R, a metal roofing panel designed to go directly over an existing metal roof, the answer was clear. At more than 68,000 square feet, the large project required a combination of the EM Retro-R panel in white and white 50 mil Duro-Last membrane. This solution allowed for OSTs operations to continue running smoothly during construction and avoided the costs of a tear-off.

Sustainability: Roof Right, Inc. of Hampstead, MD Project: Ceresville New Holland When agricultural machinery dealer Ceresville New Holland of Frederick, MD approached Roof Right, Inc. with a roofing job that included more than 900 penetrations due to solar panels, Duro-Lasts custom-fabricated membrane and accessories were the ideal solution. The efficient process allowed Ceresville New Holland to remain open during construction.

Specialty Membrane Roofing: K2 Summit, LLC of Deerfield Beach, FL Project: Flamingo South Beach Center Tower Situated on Miami Beach and towering over its neighbors, the Flamingo South Beach Center Tower apartment building poses a unique roofing challenge. K2 Summit determined the best roofing solution would be a hybrid system that used both adhered Duro-Fleece Plus membrane and mechanically attached Duro-Last. Since the building is 32 stories tall, wind was a major concern, so installing a perimeter enhancement around the entire roof helped it meet wind uplift requirements.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) -- A local roofing company received recognition Thursday for a good deed. Capital City Roofing and Sheet Metal Association fixed the roof of a local veteran all for free.

Retired and on disability, local veteran, Joyce McMillian reached out for help when her living situation became unbearable. The weather and time of 24 years had done enough damage to her home.

When McMillain was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, they didnt know how they would afford to fix their home. But then, there was a saving grace.

"Sigh of relief that it's an added expenditure that we don't have to brave or try to scamp and scrape to have done or have fixed," McMillian said.

Rusty McKeithen and his company stepped up to help local veterans. They completed the $7,000 job all for free.

"Weve done it for low income people, that needed a roof and didn't have the money in the past, and we've decided to do, not only that, but to do it for the veterans, too," said McKeithen of Capital City Roofing and Sheet Metal Association.

They received donated materials from Gulf Coast Supply and manufacturing and proved you can never go wrong with doing the right thing.

"Our company is filled with veterans from different eras and so we were definitely happy to donate when Rusty contacted our company," said Jon Jackson of Gulf Coast Supply and Manufacturing.

The roofing company does these projects twice a year. This one took them only one day to complete.

Mar 15, 2017 Collective Bargaining

Members of United Steelworkers (USW)Local 330 voted 54-41 March 9 to accept a last best and final offer from Malarkey Roofing Products. Voting to reject the contract offer would have meant authorizing a strike by the 115 workers at the companys North Columbia Boulevard roof tile factory in Portland.

The vote came after the company backed off several union-busting proposals. Malarkey, represented by employer consultant Jim Frazer, had proposed to halt employer collection of union dues, end the requirement that represented employees become union members, and eliminate just cause discipline.

Under the new agreement, Malarkey will stop making pension contributions and pay $6.5 million to withdraw from the union-sponsored multi-employer pension plan. The $1.7 billion pension plan, known as PIUMPF (PACE Industry Union-Management Pension Fund), has more than twice as many retirees as active members, and its projected to become insolvent in less than 20 years. USW inherited the pension when it absorbed the Paper, Allied-Industrial, Chemical and Energy Workers (PACE) union in a 2005 merger.

Malarkey has been contributing $1.38 an hour to the pension plus a rehabilitation surcharge.

In place of the defined benefit pension, Malarkey will enroll union members in the company-sponsored 401(k), matching employee contributions dollar for dollar for the first 2 percent of salary, and 50 cents on the dollar after that up to 10 percent.

The contract runs through April 2019. It provides annual wage increases of 1.5 percent, retroactive to the June 1, 2016, expiration of the previous union contract. Wages at the roof tile plant currently range from $16.50 to $25.96 an hour.

LAKELAND Fla. - A Lakeland U.S. Army veteran who suffered a traumatic brain injury 15 years after his service, is getting a life changing gift from strangers.

Adam Allen, was left paralyzed on his right side in 2003 after he was attacked with a hammer while on a job site.

After the attack, Allen learned to talk, walk and move all over again, "they thought I was going to die," he said.

Visible scars on the top of his head are a reminder of the pain he endured since the attack.

"They cut both sides, I guess."

In 2010, Allen became a part of the adaptive sports program at the James A. Haley VA hospital where he became part of the Paralyzed Veterans of America race team.

He now competes on the cycling team with the VIP Warriors in Central Florida.

"It takes me about ten miles to get warmed up," he said.

After years of giving back by helping other veterans, Allen was selected to be the recipient of something that he's long needed, a new roof.

Allen walks inside his home where water stains take over the ceiling, the garage roof is rotting and the shingles have blown away.

The VA chose Allen as a perfect candidate for an outreach project with Black Daggers Military Hunt Club.

On Saturday, March 18, two roofing associations will volunteer their time and supplies to give Allen a new roof.

Tri-County Roofing Contractors Association and West Coast Roofing Contractors Association will give the $10,000 roof free of charge.

The donation will allow Allen to focus on the road that's ahead of him.

FLINT, Mich. (WJRT) - (03/14/17) - Nearly a week later, you can still hear the wind. And now, repair crews are dealing with snow and freezing temperatures as they work to fix roofs across multiple counties.

"It was definitely challenging, but you just have to work your way through it," said Lockhart Roofing Project Manager Dan Sowden.

The company has already handled over 350 calls for estimates since Wednesday's storm from homes to businesses.

"Roofing missing, trees falling knocking into the corner of the house, taking out part of the house, you know, siding blown off," he explained.

Sowden tells ABC12 News many homes are simply lost shingles. But, he says missing shingles could lead to melting snow dripping through or other future damage.

So, in gloves and a number of layers, crews have been laying tarps on the roofs to protect the homes.

"The crews in the field are up from sun up to sun down," Sowden said. "Thursday and Friday and Saturday actually, they were out actually preparing for this snow, trying to get as many roofs done as possible with tripod lights 'til 10-11 o' clock at night tarping roofs."

He says most of the staff worked straight through the weekend.

"I've been here over ten years and this is by far the busiest it's ever been for sure," Sowden added.

And it may be several more weeks before their work is done.

But, Sowden says they're expecting to finally get a break on Sunday, as things slow down this weekend.

If you need their help, Sowden says they've been able to get out to homes in about a day. For more information, check them out at http://www.lockhartroofing.com/
