Adding Value to Your Roof!
Sep 30, 2009

This home in Holladay, Utah has a flat roof in the rear with a fantastic view of the mountains. The home owner needed to repair a leak that was causing damages to the living space below. Rather than simply replace the old roofing system that had failed, they searched for a long term solution that would also allow them to turn this area into an outdoor living space. Duradek's membrane meets building code as a roofing material but is unique in that it also allows pedestrian traffic, perfect for opening up decks, patios, balconies and flat roofs to make them beautiful outdoor entertainment areas.

Customer Testimonials

Our second floor deck was made from redwood and though we used it often the annual staining, repair and splinters finally drove us to look for a low maintenance solution. We found the Duradek product to be a great long term choice that lets us relax and enjoy the deck. An additional benefit came when we realized that this keeps the water from dripping underneath too, now our hot tub stays clean and we don't get cold water or snow on us in the winter!
