Adding Value to Your Roof!

This home in Holladay, Utah has a flat roof in the rear with a fantastic view of the mountains. The home owner needed to repair a leak that was causing damages to the living space below. Rather than simply replace the old roofing system that had failed, they searched for a long term solution that would also allow them to turn this area into an outdoor living space. Duradek's membrane meets building code as a roofing material but is unique in that it also allows pedestrian traffic, perfect for opening up decks, patios, balconies and flat roofs to make them beautiful outdoor entertainment areas.
