Retrofit Slope Solutions

Building owners opt to retrofit slope to an existing roof for a variety of reasons:

  • To enable the addition of insulation for reduced energy requirements
  • To accommodate an architecturally challenging design
  • To facilitate the installation of a high-performance sloped metal roofing solution

The benefits of installing a high-performance, standing seam, sloped metal roofing solution include:

  • Greater aesthetic versatility
  • Reduced maintenance requirements
  • Increased accommodation of thermal movement
  • Extended life-cycle performance

Regardless of your goals, working with DBS to design build your retrofit slope solution offers the advantages of single-source accountability from experts who specialize in complex roofing challenges.

Delivery Advantages

Dealing with a design-build firm also offers all the advantages of a competitively negotiated contract. With a single source responsible for designing and installing your retrofit slope solution, projects are performance-driven, not cost-driven. DBS is under no obligation to accept the lowest bid when dealing with sub-contractors. Decisions take into consideration all critical factors, including a sub-contractor's reputation for responsiveness, financial stability, familiarity with similarly complex applications, and ability to meet the required deadlines. This is of particular advantage to government agencies and private organizations that plan to hold on to their facilities for 30 years or more, since it allows the building owner to negotiate with a single-source design-builder on the basis of total life-cycle returns on his initial capital investment.

DBS has successfully completed complex roofing projects for many government agencies and institutions, as well as private enterprises. Click here for references and other information on completed projects.
