Services
Tapered Engineering
Our Tapered Engineering Department creates customized insulation layouts using CAD technology to ensure proper roof drainage. We provide scaled shop drawings and material lists within 24 hours, supporting BUR and single-ply systems with slopes ranging from 1/8 to 1/2 inch per foot. Our solutions help contractors achieve optimal drainage while maintaining R-value requirements.
Thermal Imaging
Certified thermographers use FLIR technology to detect moisture in roofing systems through temperature variance analysis. This non-invasive service identifies wet insulation areas at night after daytime heat absorption, enabling targeted repairs that save time and costs compared to full replacements while extending roof lifespan.
Crane Services
Our 23.5-ton crane delivers roofing materials directly to job sites across Metro Atlanta, reaching heights up to 100 feet. The 20-foot bed with 24-foot trailer capacity ensures synchronized material arrival with crews, minimizing downtime through qualified operator handling and two-hour minimum service commitments.
Equipment Repair
Factory-trained technicians provide LEISTER tool repairs with free inspections and 24-hour quotes. We service both owned and third-party equipment using stocked replacement parts, offering temporary rentals during repairs to maintain project continuity across electronic, gasoline, and manual-powered tools.
Used Equipment Sales
Our rental department offers inspected used equipment for cost-effective solutions without compromising quality. Rigorously tested inventory includes ladder hoists, roof cutters, and welders, providing immediate availability for urgent needs while maintaining performance standards through expert service staff evaluation.
