GSM Roofing

There are countless combinations of single ply roof systems in today's market, and it can become overwhelming when it's decision time. White or black membrane? Glued or heat-welded seams? Adhered or mechanically attached? If you need a roofing expert to help you sort it all out, GSM Roofing can help. Although single ply membranes have become the "standard" for low-slope roofing, there are benefits and drawbacks to EPDM (ethylene propylene diene M-class rubber), TPO (thermoplastic olefin) and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) that customers need to be aware of.

When Fred Gooding started his roofing business in 1946, there was only one choice for low-sloped roofs, and that was the built-up roof (BUR). Today, BURs can be hot-mopped or cold-applied, gravel-surfaced or smooth-coated, traditional or modified bitumen. GSM Roofing can partner with you to expertly install this durable and time-tested roof type. The best feature of a built-up roof system is redundancy. This roof type is "built up" with several layers of plys, with each layer providing protection if another layer gets damaged.

Roof coat systems are a great way to save some 'greens' while making your building a lot more cool. A white roof coat will sharply lower the temperature of a roof's surface during the summer by reflecting the sun's rays, instead of absorbing them like a traditional roof. This will keep your building cooler, reduce the load on your HVAC units, and save you a bundle of money. Coatings can extend your roof life by 5-15 years if you take the time to do the prep work. They also keep the re-roofing debris out of landfills.

Improper fall protection is considered a top workplace hazard. The good news is GSM Roofing offers solutions like roof safety railings that will minimize fall hazards and create a safer work environment for your employees or contractors working on the roof. Our team can design and fabricate roof safety railings that are non-penetrating, OSHA-compliant and easy to install. Railings can be customized to match any color or material finish you may need. And the best part is your new railing system might prevent a tragic accident before it can happen.

GSM Roofing understands that every dollar is important to the customer - but spending a few extra roof insulation dollars now will ultimately deliver big savings over the life of your roof system.

We'll work within your budget to get you the right type and right amount of insulation, and keep you compliant with current building codes.
