// The Problem
An old built-up roof. Leaking everywhere. A brand-new owner who knew it.
When the new owner took possession of 289 Summerall Gate Road in Anniston, the roof was already failing. Decades of weathering had stripped away the granules, the membrane was cracking, and water was finding its way in from every direction. He didn’t need a sales pitch. He needed a roof.
What he didn’t have was a clean path to financing on a building he’d just bought. That’s where most contractors would have walked away — or quoted the job and waited around. We didn’t.
// The Solution
Duro-Last PVC. Tapered insulation. New gutters. 20-year warranty.
Membrane
Duro-Last PVC
Custom-fabricated to the building’s exact dimensions before it ever got to the site. Fewer field seams. Fewer failure points.
Insulation
Tapered for drainage
Engineered slope across the entire deck so water actually moves to the new perimeter gutters instead of pooling.
Drainage
New perimeter gutters
Wrapped the entire building. Sized for Alabama’s heaviest storms. No more water sheeting off the eaves into the parking lot.
Warranty
20-year NDL
No Dollar Limit. Duro-Last covers labor, materials, and consequential damage — not just the membrane. The strongest paper in the industry.
// The Work
From financing to handshake in six weeks.
We sat down with the new owner the same week he closed on the building. Walked the roof together. Gave him a written scope, a fixed price, and the financing options that actually work for a freshly-purchased commercial property in Alabama. Within 30 days the deal was signed and the materials were on order. Two weeks later the roof was done.
// The Result
A roof that’ll outlast the next owner.
Duro-Last PVC reflects 88% of the sun’s energy, so the building runs cooler in summer. The tapered insulation means no more ponding, no more standing water, no more leaks searching for a path inside. The 20-year NDL warranty means if anything goes wrong — labor, material, or consequential damage — it’s covered. Not just the membrane. The whole job.
