    Quality Roofing Rescues Stray Kittens, Finds Them Loving Homes

    Quality Roofing Kitten Rescue

    A heartwarming tale unfolded at Quality Roofing Inc. (QRI) this winter when a stray cat took refuge in the company’s workshop at 1507 Laemle Ave. The cat was wild and fearful, avoiding human contact. Despite efforts, no one could get close enough to catch her.

    One day, an employee discovered kittens nestled in the workshop. The team kept an eye on them throughout the day to ensure the mother returned to care for them. Recognizing the dangers outside—from animals to traffic—Jamie Chapman, Financial Controller at QRI, took the lead in providing food, water, and bedding, hoping to encourage the mother cat to keep the kittens in the safety of the warehouse.

    As the kittens grew, Jamie and her family developed a strong bond with them. Having recently lost their 17-year-old cat, Jamie’s two oldest children often accompanied her on weekends to care for the kittens. After a month of nurturing them, they decided the time was right to adopt two of the kittens, naming them Clover and Blackberry. 

    “My family fell in love with Clover and Blackberry from the start,” said Jamie. “They’ve been such a fun addition to our home.”

    Another kitten found a loving home with Armando Ponce, a QRI team member, who couldn’t resist the charm of his new furry companion, which he named Ren.

    “Bringing Ren home was an easy decision,” Armando said. “She’s been a joy, and I’m grateful for how this whole experience brought our team together.”

    This unexpected rescue mission not only gave these kittens a second chance but also brought warmth and joy to the entire QRI team. It’s a testament to the company’s values—not just in taking care of their roofing projects but also in looking out for those in need, no matter how small or furry they may be.

    The QRI team is working with a rescue to have the mama cat spayed. After that, she’ll be able to stay in the warehouse, where she’s happiest, catching mice and being well fed.

  • Understanding Roofing System Warranties: What You Need to Know for Your Commercial Roof

    Understanding Roofing System Warranties: What You Need to Know for Your Commercial Roof

    roofing system warranties

    When investing in a commercial roofing system, one of the most critical factors to consider is the system warranty. A well-installed roof should provide long-term protection, but the warranty ensures you have coverage in case of unexpected issues. At Quality Roofing Inc., we help businesses navigate their options and choose the best roofing system for their needs.

    Types of Membrane Warranties: Labor & Material Coverage

    Reputable roofing manufacturers offer non-prorated warranties that cover both labor and materials, providing peace of mind that your roof is built to last. These warranties typically come in 10-, 15-, 20-, or 30-year terms, depending on the material and installation method used. Avoid warranties that do not cover labor or warranties that are not backed by both the contractor and the manufacturer. Read the warranty prior to purchasing a roofing system.

    A higher-quality membrane, like a 90-mil EPDM with a 30-year warranty, will provide longer-lasting durability compared to a standard 60-mil with a 20-year warranty. The right choice depends on your building’s needs, environmental conditions, and budget.

    Manufacturer Warranties vs. In-House Warranties

    One key thing to watch out for is the type of warranty being offered. Some roofing companies provide in-house warranties, which means the contractor—not the manufacturer—is responsible for repairs and replacements. This can be a red flag, as it may limit your protection in the long run.

    A manufacturer-backed warranty ensures that your roof is covered by the brand producing the materials, meaning you can rely on proven performance standards and nationwide support if any issues arise.

    At Quality Roofing Inc., we work with trusted manufacturers, including:

    Johns Manville
    Carlisle
    Elevate (formerly Firestone Building Products)
    Sika Sarnafil
    GAF

    These brands offer reliable, high-performance roofing solutions with warranties backed by industry leaders.

    Choosing the Right Membrane for Your Building

    Not all roofing membranes are the same. Different environments require different materials. Here’s a quick breakdown:

    • PVC or TPO membranes: Ideal for restaurants and buildings exposed to grease, as they are highly resistant to chemical damage.
    • EPDM membranes: A strong choice for general commercial buildings needing flexibility and long-term durability.
    • SBS-modified bitumen: Suitable for buildings with high foot traffic, offering impact resistance.

    Understanding your building’s needs is crucial to selecting the right roofing system.

    Balancing Budget & Quality

    While warranties and high-performance materials matter, budget is always a factor. If your project requires cost considerations, Quality Roofing Inc. works with you to find the best roofing solution within your budget. Whether that means selecting a slightly different membrane or exploring alternative installation methods (like mechanically fastened systems instead of adhesives), our team ensures you get the best value for your investment.

    Trust the Experts at Quality Roofing Inc.

    Choosing the right roofing system involves doing your homework—understanding what type of membrane is being installed, ensuring you have a manufacturer-backed warranty, and balancing quality with budget.

  • Why A Good Commercial Roof Matters in Extreme Cold

    Why A Good Commercial Roof Matters in Extreme Cold

    good commercial roof in extreme cold

    When winter brings frigid temperatures, heavy snowfall, and icy conditions, a commercial roof must stand up to the challenge. Extreme cold can test the integrity of any roof, and the consequences of failure can be costly for businesses. Here’s why having a good commercial roof matters during the harshest months of the year.

    Energy Efficiency

    A well-built and properly insulated roof is essential for maintaining energy efficiency in cold weather. Heat naturally rises, and without a good roof, that warmth can escape, leading to higher heating bills and discomfort for employees and customers. A quality roof acts as a barrier, keeping the heat in and the cold out, reducing the strain on your building’s heating system.

    Structural Integrity

    Snow and ice can accumulate rapidly during winter storms, adding immense weight to a roof. A poorly constructed or aging roof may not handle this extra load, increasing the risk of structural damage or even collapse. A strong, durable commercial roof is designed to bear these loads safely, protecting your business and everyone inside.

    Moisture Prevention

    Cold weather often leads to freeze-thaw cycles, where melting snow refreezes as ice. This can create ice dams, allowing water to seep under roofing materials and into your building. Water damage can destroy inventory, disrupt operations, and require expensive repairs. A high-quality roof with proper drainage systems can prevent these issues.

    Longevity

    Extreme cold can be unforgiving on roofing materials. Low temperatures make some materials brittle and prone to cracking, while constant exposure to ice and snow can accelerate wear and tear. Investing in a durable roof built with high-quality materials ensures it withstands the elements, protecting your business for years to come.

    Health and Safety

    A leaking or damaged roof can lead to mold and mildew growth inside the building, which poses serious health risks to employees and customers. Additionally, ensuring the roof is in good condition helps prevent accidents caused by falling ice or debris, contributing to a safer environment for everyone.

    Compliance and Liability

    Maintaining a well-functioning roof helps your building stay compliant with local building codes and safety regulations. Neglecting roof maintenance or repairs can lead to fines, legal issues, and increased liability if an accident occurs. A reliable roof reduces these risks and gives you peace of mind.

    How Quality Roofing Can Help

    At Quality Roofing, we understand the challenges that extreme cold temperatures can pose to commercial roofs. Our experienced team specializes in providing:

    • Comprehensive Roof Inspections: We’ll assess your roof’s condition and identify potential vulnerabilities before winter strikes.
