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 has a passion for slate. It's why we were chosen to help write the updated slate installation manual for the National Slate Association. Our talented craftsmen have worked on historical buildings, educational facilities and residential homes - and our customers rave about the results. There are many intricacies to installing natural slate, and GSM is the industry expert. We'll work with you to design the thickness, color and look of your new slate roof system. Or, we can match an existing roof pattern or work from an old photograph to re-create a historical design.

From hail damage and leak repairs to emergency blow-offs and roof snow removal, GSM Roofing can do it all. Our highly trained and experienced staff can handle any roof type on the market and provide emergency roof repair any time of the day (24/7/365). No matter how big or how small the problem is, give us a call at 800-532-ROOF or complete the information below and our staff will respond promptly.

When starting a roofing project, many building owners reduce their insulation thickness to save a few dollars. 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. An additional layer of roof insulation can help offset rising energy costs, create a thermal break, and provide a great return on investment. 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.

Defend your building and other property assets from the greatest of all enemies - water. Whether it's below grade or above, a foundation or access tunnel, new construction or a retrofit - GSM Roofing can help. Water will expose poor workmanship over time and can wreak havoc on membranes and blocks in a freeze/thaw cycle. Our skilled team understands the intricacies of today's waterproofing systems - from hot fluid applied and single ply to bentonite and self-adhered. This means you'll get a waterproofing solution that perfectly matches your needs and keeps you and your building dry and happy.

If you think all shingle roofers are the same, think again. There are many factors that determine how long your shingle roof will last, and if it will be leak-free. GSM Roofing will install a high-quality shingle roof system, using our in-house roofers who have a track record of professionalism and great service. GSM will walk you through the selection process and make sure you get the best shingle roof that your money can buy. And we'll never overlook the important details that ensure you're getting a quality roof that will last.

Cedar is a great roof alternative if you're looking to maintain the historical integrity of your building, or are just looking to add character. GSM Roofing will work with you to pick the type of cedar roof system that's right for you and your building. Our experienced craftsmen have years of experience installing cedar on traditional lathe, or over plywood with cedar breather. We also understand the other intricacies that this unique material has. And when properly installed in conjunction with the correct combination of metal flashings, valleys and ridge caps, your cedar roof should last well over 50 years.

Tile roofs aren't just for Spanish-style homes in the Southwest U.S. or Mexico.

GSM Roofing has designed and installed a wide range of tile roof systems. We have years of experience working with flat, barrel-shaped, clay and cement tiles and our customers have been homeowners, churches and commercial businesses.

They pressured us into doing the work immediately without a proposal because "they were in the area" then proceeded to charge 4 man hours of travel on top of a 4 man hour job which really should have only been 2 man hours. When correction of travel time was requested, they only reduced it by 1.5 man hours, meaning we are still holding the bag on the majority of travel time. Not to mention, I can only assume they charged the customers before and after us for the inappropriate amount of travel time as well. Not to be trusted! No GSM we will not be using you in the future.

Very awesome company! They do flawless work! Very dedicated employees and management! I would highly recommend GSM!
