Los Angeles Roofing Contractor Achieves Modern Roofing Milestone

Sunday, September 15th, 2013


San Pedro, CA (PRWEB) August 21, 2013

Since 1942, Chandlers Roofing has remained at the forefront of modern roofing applications in Los Angeles and Orange County. As other companies have remained focused on archaic roofing systems such as hot-mopped, built-up roofs (BUR), Chandlers Roofing has long retired their roofing kettles and moved almost entirely to modern, single-ply PVC roofing membranes for residential and commercial flat roofs. These Title 24 compliant, Energy Star rated cool roofs, combined with modern PV solar powered energy systems have not only saved Chandlers clients in Los Angeles and Orange County thousands of dollars in energy costs, but have also extended the life cycle of hundreds of roofs, outlasting alternative roofing applications by nearly 2 to 3 times.

Single-ply roofing, such as IB Roof Systems provides competitive advantages to property owners including industry leading warranties, high solar reflectance characteristics, unparalleled life cycle costs and ease of maintenance. These IB Roof Systems are hot-air welded or applied with adhesives, eliminating the need for hot tar kettles and open flames which are a liability. With a Class A fire rating and uniquely formulated to withstand ponding water, the IB Roof Systems that Chandlers Roofing is installing are truly cutting-edge with a performance history second-to-none.

We are committed to being Southern Californias leading roofing company when it comes to warranties, performance, sustainability and quality. Several years ago we made the decision to get away from hot-mop roofing which does not have the performance characteristics and longevity that single-ply roofing applications such as IB Roof Systems have, commented Trevor Leeds, president of Chandlers Roofing. In many cases we have been able to double or triple the life of a commercial or residential roof while saving the property owner thousands of dollars in future energy costs.

In June, Chandlers Roofing was awarded the 500,000 square foot Club Award from IB Roof Systems for the outstanding performance in sales and installations that Chandlers Roofing has accomplished over the last several years. It is a select group of certified installers who are even trained and allowed to install IB Roof Systems and even a smaller group of applicators who have achieved this benchmark.

A half million square feet of installed IB Roofs is no small feat. It is a direct indicator of the commitment that Chandlers Roofing has towards installing modern, sustainable, cool roof applications, stated Will Maddux, director of representative development for IB Roof Systems.

Given the outstanding reviews, growth and marketshare that single-ply roofs have captured within the industry, Chandlers Roofing is convinced that the future remains bright for roofing applications such as IB Roof Systems.

About Chandlers Roofing:

Originally established in 1942, Chandler’s Roofing has been recognized as the premier Southern California roofing contractor, winning leading industry awards such as 2011 Roofing Contractor of the Year and 2010-12 Angie’s List Super Service Awards, and earning the prestigious Master Elite Roofing Contractor status with America’s largest roofing manufacturer, GAF. In 2012, Chandlers Roofing received the 500,000 square foot Club Award from IB Roof Systems. With a long history in high-quality craftsmanship, Chandler’s Roofing is skilled in multiple residential, commercial, and industrial new and re-roof applications, providing complete roofing, solar, rain gutter, insulation, skylight, and custom sheet metal solutions to its clients.

EBS Achieves LEED

Tuesday, August 21st, 2012


San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 21, 2012

Environmental Building Strategies (EBS), a leader in high performance building engineering, certification, sustainability education and commercial real estate consulting services, announced today that it received LEED Platinum certification for San Francisco Surgical Arts (SFSA), a new Oral and Maxillofacial surgical facility that offers routine oral surgical services, as well as advanced facial reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. EBS provided SFSA with sustainable commissioning/engineering services, as well as strategic consulting on energy, waste & water efficiency, sustainable building materials and construction practices. With EBS guidance, SFSA became the first privately-held medical/surgical facility to achieve the U.S. Green Building Councils highest level of green building certification under the LEED Commercial Interiors (CI) v2009 rating system.

Our goal was to create a green practice to serve as an example for the healthcare community, showcasing the endless possibilities with todays technology and sustainable building materials. Weve invested heavily in cutting-edge technology to improve our patient outcomes, while reducing the impact on our environment and local community, said Nima Massoomi, DMD, MEd, MD, co-founder of San Francisco Surgical Arts. Our new facility dispels the typical feel of a surgical office, making our patients and staff feel as if theyre visiting a spa.

Historically, medical facilities are characterized by stacks of paper medical records, constant hand washing, and energy intensive equipment. To directly combat these stereotypes and lower environmental impact, EBS provided the research and documentation that advised SFSA to use electronic medical records to eliminate paper waste, low flow sinks and toilets to reduce water usage, and energy efficient equipment to slash utility bills. As a testament to SFSAs investment, its existing Cupertino office (SVSA)which that did not pursue LEED certificationis half the size of the new office, but spends three times more on energy bills.

By working with EBS to implement environmental features from the design phase, San Francisco Surgical Arts expects a strong return on investment from energy, water and waste savings, said Matt Macko, founder and principal of Environmental Building Strategies. SFSA is truly a leader in transforming the medical industrys operations and values, and it was an honor to work with the doctors and the talented design team to continue advocating better buildings in the community we live and share in.

In addition to EBS sustainability engineering and LEED consulting, the Platinum achievement was made possible by the expert medical design of The Kohan Group, as well as the creative material use and sustainable medical building tactics of All Phase Builders. Notable features of the project include:
