Top Duro-Last Installation Scores - Making the Grade

How does DK Haney Roofing continue to receive top installation scores?

Over the past 12 years DK Haney Roofing has specialized in Duro-Last single-ply roofing membrane.  Each member of our Duro-Last crew has over 5 years of experience installing the Duro-Last Roofing System.

John Bell, our newest Duro-Last foreman uses the below tips to help his crew install a top rated Duro-Last roof:

 

Think Ahead

Before we start any job we go over the roof and make sure that nothing has changed since the roof was first inspected by one of our technicians.  Once debris is cleared, we survey the roof and come up with a plan for loading and prepping the roof.  Our material is then loaded in the areas we are going to use them. 

Team Work

At the beginning of each day everyone on the crew knows what they are responsible for and knows what they need to have completed by the end of that day.  If someone needs help with something or a problem needs to be solved we work as a team to get it done. 

Double Check

At DK Haney Roofing we double check all our welds before we have the roof inspected.  This way we can catch any lose welds before we call the project complete.  That means that all DK Haney Roofing welds are checked 3 times.

By following these simple tips DK Haney Roofing has risen to Master Elite Contractor and is one of the top Duro-Last® contractors in the country.

How to Extend the Life of Your Shingle Roof

Regular roof maintenance might not be something on your weekend to-do list but as you will soon learn it is an important task that should be added on a bi-annually basis.  By checking off these simple tasks you can extend the life of your shingle roof.

✔ Gutters:  Your gutters can collect leaves and other debris over time.  When wet the added weight can cause your gutters to pull away from the roof.  Blocked gutters can cause water to over flow and run down the side of your home causing discoloration as well as erosion to your foundation.

✔ Attic:  Check your attic for mold or wet spots.  A wet roof can cause the wood and shingles to rot at an accelerated rate, leaving you with a hazardous mess.  If you spot mold contact a mold removal service.

✔ Skylights:  Keep skylights clean and free of leaves and debris.  Dirty skylights can deteriorate faster and cause them to lose color.  Check chocking around skylight to insure it stays strong and can weather future storms.

✔ Roof:  Remove any foreign objects from the roof such as branches, leaves, trash, and toys.  Check shingles for cracks, penetrations, and hail damage.  While you’re on the roof check the flashing on the chimney and any vents to make sure they are secure and free of any debris.

If you don’t feel comfortable walking around on your roof or climbing a ladder to inspect your roof, call DK Haney Roofing and we can provide you with a full inspection that will help to extend the life of your shingle roof.

Dickie's Saves Big with New Roof

DK Haney Roofing just completed installing a Duro-Last Roofing System on the Williamson-Dickie Manufacturing Company location in Fort Worth, Texas.

Three sections of the building were reroofed: the cafeteria, human resource, and outlet buildings, totaling approximately 16,000 square feet of roof.

By reflecting 88-percent of the sun's energy, Dickie’s new Duro-Last roof will help lower their energy bill by 20- to 30-percent. 

Duro-Last Roofing System is DK Haney Roofing’s number one choice for roofing material.

No Energy Savings From My Cool Roof – What Gives?

Okay, so you installed a cool roofing system, but since the building already had so much insulation you haven’t noticed any energy savings. What’s the point?

True. High reflectivity is a key characteristic that helps keep buildings cooler and can reduce energy usage. As much as 40% less cooling energy may be needed for buildings that have highly-reflective roofs. But even if a building is very well insulated, here are some other valuable benefits from cool roofing:

Insulation can be 25%-50% more effective

Studies have shown that extremely high temperatures reduce the effective R-value of the most widely used types of insulation (Leonard & Leonard, 2005). Cooler surfaces help preserve and keep rooftop insulation materials cooler.

HVAC equipment can operate more efficiently

Inlet air temperatures can be 5-15 degrees cooler 30 inches above a cool roofing surface compared to a black surface. Most rooftop HVAC units are designed with efficiency ratings evaluated at 95ºF (York International, 2005); rooftop temperatures on a black surface can reach 160ºF or higher, meaning that HVAC units will not operate at peak efficiency.

Substrate deterioration may be slowed by as much as 75%

Ultraviolet and infrared radiation and moisture penetration accelerate substrate deterioration. A cool roofing system will reflect this radiation and help protect the substrate (Kirn et. Al., 1994).

Ambient interior temperatures can be up to 20ºF cooler than outside

Studies of worker performance with machine operation and high physical activity reveal that productivity drops 10% at 84ºF and 38% at 95ºF (Schweisheimer, W., 1962). So even if a building is not air conditioned occupants will still notice improved comfort on hot days.
