Design/Build
Whether you are planning to renovate, remodel, add an addition to your existing facility or build a new building, our design / build project delivery method allows us to seek out the most economical way to build consistent with your objectives. It permits faster occupancy of your building and provides alternate ways to keep the project within your budget.
Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings
Since Jan. 1, 1958, the pioneer of metal building systems in the Central Virginia area is ready to put its knowledge and experience to work for you. If you are considering a new building or an addition to your existing facility then a pre-engineered metal building may be your answer. Metal Buildings offer the following benefits:
-
Faster Construction
-
Lower Life Cycle Cost
-
Design Flexibility
-
Low Maintenance
-
Energy Efficient
-
Environmentally Friendly
-
Cost Savings
Retrofit Roofing
If your existing roof is approaching the end of its useful life, a retrofit roof system is the ideal solution. A retrofit roof system allows us to install a new metal roof system over top of your existing built-up, single ply or metal roof eliminating the need for costly tear-off and disposal. On flat roofs, a light gauge metal framing system is installed to create slope for proper drainage, eliminating problems with ponding water. Work can be performed without disrupting your business, and insulation can be added, making your building more energy efficient.
Roof Coatings
In many cases we can extend the life of your existing roof and eliminate your roof leaks at a substantially lower cost than that of the investment in a new roof.
​
Coatings can also improve your buildings energy efficiency by reducing cooling cost.
​
We offer coatings / roof restoration systems for metal, built-up and single ply roof systems.
