Prevention. A genuine maintenance-first approach. While it’s easy to delay until expensive replacements surprise, it’s safer and smarter to  solve smaller problems intentionally before they blossom into disasters. We probably enjoy communicating more than most. We guide people away from expired technologies like rubber and plastic. Welcome to the next level. Conklin Certified Platinum.

Age alone does not determine usefulness. In the construction world, our team has 48 years of building experience. Roofing is just part of the overall building experience. We understand the desire in humans to worship experience, which we find limiting. Conklin has plenty of market experience, since 1977, means 48 years of field knowledge. Our Conklin products are now protecting 2 billion square feet of roofing across America.

Conklin Certified Platinum, fully licensed and insured in Indiana. 

OSHA certified.

1. PREVENT: ($) Clean, condition, maintain, inspect, document the progression, upload photo and video to shared cloud.
   
2. PATCH. ($$) Proactive Repair of roofs made from metal, tar, rubber, plastic, silicon, and rock ballast. We focus on existing buildings — 94% of commercial roofing work is on existing structures. Only 6% is new construction. 
   
3. COAT. ($$$) Liquid layers of securities over existing skin. Degrease, prime, basecoat, mesh reinforce, topcoat. Applying modern acrylic or urethane as a seamless, beautiful, reflective, efficient finish that can be recoated each 20 to 30 years without costly removal. 
   
4. OVERLAY. ($$$) Add another roof layer over existing. Consisting of rigid, walkable, high definition insulation (sometimes slanted or tapered) then membrane or liquid surface seals the top. Lower cost by saving steps. Helps the environment. Reduces waste. 
   
5. REPLACE. ($$$$) Some roofs have been so neglected that complete removal is the only correct recommendation. Roofs are not eternal. After several decades, something must be done to make the roof functional, remove the layers of rot and filth. Musty air from mildew eats the lungs and lowers the quality of enjoyment of precious people inside. Buildings protect. Rarely does one want to do what is necessary, until every alternative option has been exhausted. Removal is not admitting failure, it’s simply doing what is right for your people and future generations.

Yes — warehouses, manufacturing facilities, retail, offices, churches, schools, and all commercial properties types with flat or low-slope roofing.

No shingles. We specialize. Excellence requires focus. 

We passionately persuade people to examine with wisdom of rejecting expired chemistry such as: “plastic wrap” TPO, Legacy Rubber EPDM, silly silicone, and other retired membranes. Instead, we encourage discovering the benefits of modern roof chemistry durability available in the form of PVC (Flexion Flexible Vinyl Blanket), and Seamless Coatings of Acrylic or Urethane. We also sometimes foam a roof. Each has its place — we give transparent clarity so you can evaluate the best fit for your people and place.

Yes. But here's the tough truth: 85% of roof "emergencies" should have been prevented. When you need us urgently, we're here — but we'd rather help you avoid emergencies altogether. Our materials can be safely installed in the cold.

Yes! Professional, no-obligation evaluations include: 

• 50 to 100 images and videos captured 
• All documentation shared in a Dropbox folder 
• Plain-language explanation of findings.
• Options to resolve areas of concern.
• Price breakdown for cleaning, patching, coating, overlay, or replacement.

• Visual capture of every seam, pipe, corner, edge, any weakness 
• Core sample reveals what is hiding inside the layers 
• Moisture traps mapped 
• Identify and measure dips, compressions, valleys of ponding water and ice causing insulations layers to fail 
• Does water reach the right drain at the right speed? Retaining extra weight is not healthy for roofs either
• You receive a professional report in plain language

30 to 60 minutes typically, depending on roof size.

Varies by damage type, extent, and materials. Key insight: emergency repairs cost 5x more than planned maintenance. A $100 monthly prevention plan is smarter than a $10,000+ emergency call.

We provide passthrough pricing. Transparent itemizing of material, labor, and company operations. Although each roof is different, there are acceptable price ranges for each solution. See general pricing at RoofServiceMenu.com.

Cheap price today does not guarantee low cost of ownership long term.

YouReapWhatYouCheap.com explains there will always be ways to cut corners. 

We can snap a quick shot from Google Earth and provide ballpark pricing for size, conditions, materials, and complexity. Best that we send out a pro to evaluate your specific situation and provide accurate, itemized pricing with multiple options. Including moisture mapping, evaluating all the layers, and considering whether we can apply a liquid coating. 

Yes — we work with multiple lenders to offer financing for qualified projects. Most popular is the Small Business Association 504 terms which is 10% down and 10 years typically to cover the cost.

Itemized clarity. Detailed scope, materials, timeline, warranty info, and clear pricing. We typically present options: patch, coating, overlay, or complete recovery.

Well-maintained roofs endure 50% longer. A 20-year roof becomes a 30-year roof. Seam and flashing failures cause 70% of leaks …proactive maintenance catches these early. Parents taught all of us about the power of planning ahead.

Spring and Fall inspections, drainage clearing, sealant checks, minor touchups, and detailed condition reports for warranty compliance. It’s like a Timelapse snapshot of your progress every 6 months. Cleaning and conditioning as needed.

Minimum twice per year: Spring and Fall.

Yes - proper cleaning prevents debris buildup and biological growth that accelerates deterioration and voids warranties. Acid rain is real. Chemicals eat roofs. Not cleaning is unwise.

• TPO (Plastic Wrap) - sadly popular, heat-welded, sometimes glued, cheap. Department of Defense refuses to install plastic wrap on any building planned for use beyond 10 years; that’s short. Not long-term thinking. 
• EPDM (Legacy Rubber) is for budget-sensitive buildings, but needs more maintenance. Bubbles, traps moisture, creates chemical reactions. Seams weaken. Can be coated-over, thankfully. 
• PVC (Vinyl) - chemical-resistant, fire rated, flexible, endures more foot traffic, does not break down for 25-30 years. 

Why not speak of “torch down” or modified bitumen or built-up BUR roof systems? Because it’s no longer 1995. ModernRoofChemistry.com explains better.

Liquid-applied membranes create continuous, watertight barriers. No seams = fewer leak points. Seam failures cause 70% of leaks. Seems about right.

Nothing sticks to silicone — not even more silicone. It creates permanent problems and limits future options. We believe in solutions that keep options open. SiliconeIsSilly.com explains better.

PVC vinyl or seamless liquid works best in 2026. 

Better on the long-term budget. 

Better durability. 

Tighter warranty terms. 

Lower maintenance. 

Plus the beauty factor.

Three layers of protection: 

1. Material warranty (from Conklin factory) 

• 10 years over metal, due to wind uplift, earth shifting, and train traffic. 
• 20 years over non-metal roofs. 
• 25 to 30 years for Flexion vinyl. 

2. Local craftsmanship warranty (from Pristine). 2 years to identify any installer errors. 

3. Nationwide Conklin Preferred Network (covering labor). $2000 covers pre and post inspection, then $650 annually paid directly to the Conklin factory maintains this labor warranty.  

We explain coverage in plain language. YourWaranteeSaysWhat.com exposes industry loopholes.

Less than 0.5%. Proper installation + maintenance = extremely rare material failures. We focus on installing it properly the first time.

Common killers: lack of documented maintenance, ponding water, unauthorized repairs, failure to report damage promptly. Proper documentation protects you. YourWaranteeSaysWhat.com gives you power of knowledge.

Somewhat. Many have loopholes:  ponding exclusions, “biological contamination” can mean almost anything, maintenance technicalities, prorated coverage. We help you understand what you're actually getting. Compare coverage.

Phase 1: Free evaluation.

Phase 2: Three options presented with pricing/financing.

Phase 3: Permits, materials ordered.

Phase 4: Work begins. Most projects completed in 3-14 days.

We use electric tools so as to reduce noise. We aim to not interrupt your business flow. 

3-14 days depending on size, weather, and complexity. We communicate clearly throughout.

We minimize disruption. Maintenance/minor repairs — you likely won't notice us. We just need access to water and electricity. 

Larger projects — we discuss logistics upfront. Many buildings continue normal operations during work.

Yes! Both! We listen. We learn. We share. Probably too much!

We look at “skin condition”, damage extent, moisture patterns, and repair history … not just age. Is the surface wrinkled? What’s happening at the insulation level? Is liquid evacuating swiftly or making puddles? Restoration can add 20 years to roofs others say need replacing.

Not necessarily. A well-maintained 25-year roof may outlast a neglected 10-year roof. Let’s see if we can add a fresh coat over it.

94% existing vs. 6% new construction. Your existing roof is our specialty.

TPO leads at ~24% market share. But the "best" material depends on your specific situation. If you don’t care how the building performs past year 10, then sure, go cheap. We can liquid coat-over existing for less than TPO. Plastic wrap holds up about as well as a plastic toy left in the yard for a decade: acid rain and UV rays will make it brittle. To be expected. Cheap today does not taste sweet tomorrow. 

50% longer. A 20-year roof becomes a 30-year roof. That's why we put maintenance first. Decay accelerates by ignoring the obvious.
