THE CHALLENGE

In 1996, Spicer’s Boat City, Michigan’s best selection of boats and powersports, proudly installed a Duro-Last roof – a testament to their commitment to quality. Despite the years that have passed, this Duro-Last roof impressively outperformed its 15-year warranty, displaying its resilience.

Yet, to uphold Spicer’s unwavering standards, it became evident that certain maintenance and improvements were essential, particularly addressing cracks and punctures in the membrane that had developed over time. This proactive approach ensured that Spicer’s continued to provide customers with lasting quality and reliability.  

SPRINGFIELD'S CUSTOM SOLUTION

Since the previous Duro-Last roof had outlasted their warranty period and effectively kept the building protected, Spicer’s decided the most efficient way to address further issues was to re-roof their building and receive a new warranty – which they knew would far exceed the life expectancy if serviced and maintained appropriately.  

The re-roof would entail the following:  

  • Removal and disposal of the existing membrane.  
  • Installation of a layer of polyisocyanurate insulation.  
  • Application of a 50-mil Duro-Last mechanically fastened and hot-air welded membrane, known for its longevity and energy efficiency.  
  • Custom fit flashing for each penetration.  
  • Replacement of fasteners with new double-coated fasteners.  
  • Addition of edge detail, featuring 24-gauge vinyl-coated metal flashing matching Spicer’s existing color scheme.  
  • Installation of a Springfield Smart Ladder Rest to ensure safety for future rooftop needs.  

the results

When faced with the decision to repair or replace their current roof, Spicer’s knew they wanted to invest in a Duro-Last roof again. This solution has yielded exceptional results, including:  

Extended Lifespan: The previous Duro-Last roof is proof that, if properly maintained, a roof can extend far beyond its initial warranty, providing long-term protection and peace of mind.  

Energy Efficiency: The added insulation has led to reduced utility costs and a more comfortable indoor environment.  

Aesthetic Appeal: The addition of customized edge details and matching flashing has improved functionality and enhanced the overall aesthetics.  

Safety Assurance: The installation of a Smart Ladder Rest ensures safe access for future maintenance and inspections, promoting a secure working environment. 

Since working on Spicer’s Boat City main building, Springfield has continued to earn Spicer’s trust and has been contracted to work on various service and re-roof projects across Spicer’s, demonstrating the value of a reliable roofing partner in maintaining a critical aspect of their infrastructure.

I had a good feeling after my first meeting with the people from Springfield. We had other quotes that were cheaper, but Springfield was able to point out the differences and show us the value in their proposal. The points that they made about the proposal made me trust them.
