Project Overview
Practicing What We Preach On Our Own Roof
There’s no better way to show confidence in your craft than to trust your team with your own roof. This project was close to home — our main office and headquarters in Helena, Ohio. The existing roofing system was a standing seam metal roof, which served not only as the exterior weatherproofing layer but also as the ceiling of our building.
Rather than tear off the existing structure, we engineered a comprehensive metal retrofit system using Duro-Last materials — built on top of the standing seam metal with insulation upgrades, vapor protection, and a new membrane — all while showcasing our ability to meet high aesthetic and performance standards.
Watch the project: a metal retrofit system on our own headquarters.
Scope Of Work
What We Delivered
01
Metal Retrofit Strategy
The existing standing seam metal roof served as both roof and ceiling. We used flute fill insulation to fill the low channels between metal ribs, then installed 2.2” ISO insulation over the flute fill.
02
Insulation & Vapor Barrier
Rolled out a full vapor barrier to prevent moisture intrusion, added a second layer of 2.2” ISO insulation for R-25+ compliance, and created a smooth, secure substrate for membrane adhesion.
03
Custom Copper Membrane
Installed a 60-mil Duro-Last membrane in a custom copper color to complement the building’s appearance — because on our own headquarters, design matters as much as performance.
04
Edge Metal & Gutters
Upgraded rake edges with new wood blocking, installed a two-piece 7-inch edge metal system for performance and curb appeal, and finished with new gutters along all exterior eaves.
Challenges & Solutions
Performance And Curb Appeal, Without A Tear-Off
Challenge
The Existing Roof Was Both Ceiling And Structure
Solution
A non-invasive metal retrofit system preserved the interior integrity while dramatically improving insulation and weather protection — no tear-off required.
Challenge
Insulation Needed To Exceed Code Minimums
Solution
We engineered a multi-layer ISO system with a full vapor barrier, delivering thermal performance beyond R-25.
Challenge
Design And Color Mattered — It’s Our Headquarters
Solution
A custom copper-colored Duro-Last membrane and upgraded edge metal delivered a polished, professional finish worthy of a roofing company’s own home.
