The fact is
that roof problems have become a major cause of
concern for everyone -- architects, building owners,
and facility management personnel. All too often
the problems associated with unexpected storm
related events have resulted in large expenditures,
not to mention downtime, and endless nonproductive
man-hours spent by facility personnel because
of the roof failure.
In addition, as premiums and deductibles are rising
at alarming rates, installing a roof system that
is hail resistant can save the Building Owner
the cost of the large deductibles that are now
being put in place.
Advantages for using ARMKO’s
Expertise:
Armko's concern is for roof performance over the long-term thereby protecting the owner's investment.
History has shown that this is frequently not the case in storm related roof replacement when
minimum criteria is established in regard to specifications while customer satisfaction and long-term
performance is often completely forgotten.
The concept of Armko tailoring the recommendations to each individual roofing project
reduces the complex task of evaluating roofing systems and monitoring installation.
This now can be handled through a working relationship with us.
