Sika Sarnafil Presents 2008 Project of the Year Awards to Roofing
Contractors
Canton, MA. — February 18, 2009–
Sika Sarnafil, a leading manufacturer of vinyl roofing and
waterproofing systems, has
announced the winners of its 2008 Projects of the Year Competition.
Twelve
contractors were recognized for outstanding workmanship in completing a recent project
utilizing
a Sika Sarnafil thermoplastic membrane for roofing or waterproofing applications.
A
winner and two finalists were chosen from each of four different categories — Low Slope,
Steep
Slope, Waterproofing, and Sustainability.
More than
30 contractors from around the country submitted projects for evaluation in the annual
competition.
Entries were judged on project complexity, design uniqueness, project importance,
craftsmanship,
and creative problem solving. First place winners were awarded cash prizes and
all finalists
were presented with handsome recognition pieces.
First place in the Low
Slope category was Best Contracting Services, Inc., of Gardena, California,
for their
work at the Hoag Memorial Hospital in Newport Beach, California. Best Contracting
removed
an older roofing system above several acute care departments and installed a
Sika Sarnafil
EnergySmart Roof® system — and without greatly impacting the hospital’s 24 / 7
operations.
Taking
second place in this grouping was Total Building Maintenance, Inc., of Chattanooga,
Tennessee,
and third place went to Bloxsom Roofing & Siding Company of Traverse City, Michigan.
In
the Steep Slope category, Peach State Roofing, Inc., of Lawrenceville, Georgia, was awarded
first
place for their efforts at the Mount Carmel Christian School in Stone Mountain, Georgia. Peach
State
replaced a 35,000 sq. ft. metal roof with a Sika Sarnafil Décor Roof System — making the
facility
watertight after years of leaking and giving the roof the appearance of standing metal
seams.
A-1 Roofing Company of Elk Grove Village, Illinois, was the second place finisher, and
Meade
Construction, Inc. of Fredericktown, Ohio was the third place finalist.
Bloom
Roofing Systems, Inc., of Brighton, Michigan, took first place in the Waterproofing class
for
their work at the H.H. Dow Academy, Ashman Court, in Midland, Michigan. The company
installed
a Sika Sarnafil waterproofing system under a 10,000 sq. ft. courtyard and put an end
to
chronic leaking which had adversely affected facilities below-grade for years. Second place
in
this category went to SLR Roofing Systems, Inc., of Fort Worth, Texas, and third place to
Dryspace,
Inc. of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
In the Sustainability category, Silktown
Roofing, Inc., of Derby, Connecticut, was the victor for
employing an integrated photovoltaic
system to reroof the 189,000 sq. ft. Naugatuck High
School in Naugatuck, Connecticut.
This roof included solar panels from Solar Integrated of
Los Angeles, integrated with
an energy-efficient vinyl membrane from Sika Sarnafil.
In second place
was T.L. Gowin &Company, Inc., of Cartersville, Georgia, and in third place
for
this grouping was Solar Integrated of Los Angeles.
