The State of Commercial Roofing in Oklahoma

Atlas Life Building
Courtyard by Marriott



New construction is at a ten year low. Corporations and business owners are careful about capital expenditures.  The impact of the European market crash is affecting construction spending as well. Sometimes, it feels like the weight of the world is on our shoulders. For commercial roofing these trends point to a paradigm shift in the services we should offer. 

At Midwest Roofing & Custom Metals, we are focusing on three key initiatives to provide our clients with the services they need and provide revenue for our company.  These initiatives are a direct reflection of the economic slow-down and the concern that owners have for their bottom line.  Next week, we will discuss these initiatives in more detail:

GREEN EQUALS WHITE
Green initiatives like LEED and energy conservation are dominating the construction and building remodeling industry.  We have access to materials and processes that meet or exceed these new standards.  We will discuss how "GREEN" means white, which will let you keep more green in your wallet.

INSPECTION & PREVENTION
If you bought a Mercedes and drove it for two years without servicing it--no oil changes, no brake jobs, no tire rotation--what would your expectation of the value of that vehicle be at the end of those two years? We will discuss what that kind of behavior can do to your facility's roof.

ROOF INVESTMENT PROTECTION
Buildings, like most things in our lives, have a shelf life.  Designed obselescence is an out-dated concept and is being replaced by words like "sustainability" and "life-cycle cost."  We will talk about how to prolong the life cycle of your existing roof systems, and how to manage your facility through relationships and professional service.
