Celebrating National Roofing Week
The National Roofing Contractors Association (NCRA) is increasing awareness about the significance of roofs to every home and business during National Roofing Week.
A roof is an investment. Amongst other things, a professionally installed roof can prevent costly repairs and maximize a roof’s lifespan. Protection from the elements, durability, and cost are factors considered when planning to replace or install a new roof. During the planning phase of a roofing project, specify TuffWrap. TuffWrap offers protection under the roof deck with a suspended cover. TuffWrap’s SmartSeam® suspended cover is the only fully code-compliant temporary ceiling construction barrier approved for safe installation below the fire sprinklers to keep operations going during reroofing and construction.
