Written by SpringfieldOctober 25, 2013 Our admiration and respect goes out to Martin and Son's Roofing of Wisconsin for pitching in and volunteering to help homeowner, Jim Cook, with his roof project after he fell and injured himself.
Roofing is dangerous work! Please don’t try to do it yourself! Call a licensed professional.
Written by SpringfieldAugust 13, 2013 Energy efficient reflective roofs are almost always the best solution because they help save energy and keep your building dry. However, there is also a benefit to keeping an existing asphalt roof as long as possible too. Asphalt roofing materials are not very recyclable and usually end up in a landfill. Therefore keeping the old roof going as long as possible can also be argued to be a “green” solution as it keeps the stuff out of the landfill. Springfield strives to keep your existing roof performing. A re-roof is only recommended when all repair options are exhausted.

Written by SpringfieldJuly 18, 2013 A rain storm doesn’t actually cause the roof to leak. When it’s raining and water is entering your building – keep in mind that it could be coming through the roof or….through a duct or pipe. Calling a roofing contractor who also specializes in mechanical insulations systems is advisable. That way, you won’t have a roofing contractor and a mechanical contractor pointing their fingers at each other while you pull your hair out in frustration. After all, does it really matter to you where the water is coming from? Don’t you just want someone you can trust who can make the problem go away? Call us at Springfield – – we have been doing just that and much more for our northern Michigan clients for decades. We are standing by 24/7 to help you with your rooftop emergencies.

Written by SpringfieldDecember 27, 2012 Taking the attitude “out of sight, out of mind” is a dangerous attitude when it comes to your roof. A roof can leak for days, weeks, or even months before it is noticed inside the building. Routine maintenance and inspections are a major component of helping the roof on your commercial building last longer.
Roofing Contractor magazine (December 2012 issue, page 32) states: “More than 80 percent of all roofs are replaced prematurely.” Don’t let this happen to your roof!
At Springfield Commercial Roofing, we take great care of our customers, helping our northern Michigan clients keep their existing roofs performing longer by doing routine inspections and maintenance. Do you have your own maintenance team? Even better – – – – we can help them with instructions of what to do on a routine basis, what not to do, and when they should call us in to help.

Written by SpringfieldOctober 16, 2012 FIVE smart moves to keep your roof for a long time!
1) Keep Your Roof Clean. Stuff on your roof keeps your drains from doing their job.
2) Get A Tune-Up. Oil Change? Annual check-up? Do the same thing for your roof and you can save money and double your roof's life expectancy!
3) Don't Mess With Mother Nature! Seeing bubbles on your roof's surface? Have ice build-up or icicles? These are warning signs of bigger problems.
4) Know What You're Dealing With. What's on your roof? Knowing what type of roofing material you have will help you make smart facility decisions going forward.
5) Energy Savings. Want to decrease your energy bills? Without proper insulation, your energy costs go through the "roof" during the winter. If you're considering roofing improvements, we can help you pay for them with energy savings.

Our 30 plus years of commercial roofing experience have shown us that a well maintained roof system lasts twice as long as one that is very seldom maintained.
As we enter the rainy season and the winter months get closer and closer, it is always a good idea to have your commercial roof system inspected so that any necessary repairs can be made before the roof is covered with ice and snow. Please contact us and one of our Project Managers will meet with you, inspect your roof system, and provide a report on its condition.
Being proactive with your roof system can help stop problems before they start and prevent catastrophic failures.
Call us at 231-263-5300 to schedule an inspection for your roof today!
Written by SpringfieldAugust 21, 2012 Start the campfire – it’s time for the annual company touchy-feely moment. Time to update the Company Mission Statement, Company Purpose Statement and list of Company Core Values. Oh and don’t forget about the elevator speech – that needs to be updated too! As much as I kid around about the “Kumbaya” stuff – – – – -it has really helped our company to develop statements that everyone can remember and articulate to identify our philosophy. For example our BHAG – Big Hairy Audacious Goal is as follows:
To have such a great reputation that 95% of our contacts only trust us to do their work.
That is a pretty BIG and hairy goal since Springfield offers integrated SmartRoof ™ services including solar lights, solar ready roofing, energy efficiency thermography studies, permanent fall arrest systems, repair services, and mechanical pipe insulation. We believe that if it’s on the top of your building…….Then “We’re on Top of It.”

Written by SpringfieldDecember 22, 2011 We have been doing roofing for many years and during those years we have found many strange, “scratch your head” type roof “repairs” or just flabbergasted by the current condition of the roof during our initial evaluations. We call them “C’mon Man” pictures! 🙂 Here is one in particular!
