Look at the Edge of Your Roof
by Cal Reese, CentiMark Director Global Accounts, Denver, CO
An inspection is the key to identify what is needed to reinforce the roof edge
Our skilled roofing inspectors examine:
- Drip Edge, Fascia, Gravel Stop
- Coping
- Gutters & Downspouts
General information about roof edge enhancements:
Investigations of roof failures immediately after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 determined that over 60% of the roofs began to fail at the roof edge first. Many of these failures can be prevented with proper details, inspection, installation and design. (Source: FM Global and RICOWI - Roofing Industry Committee on Weather Issues, Inc.)
Gutter and downspout systems, often overlooked, have a wind standard as well and can have enhancements and reinforcements.
Think color for an attractive metal edge on your roof and gutter system. For an aesthetic upgrade of the exterior of your building, there are 30 standard Kynar colors available with a 30 year finish warranty. Combine metal edge protection with attractive colors for your roof system.

Jim is on the Board of Directors for the NRCA for 2014-2105. In addition to his Board responsibilities, Jim serves on the Manual Update Committee to update the NRCA metal panel roof system manual.

Jim also serves on the NRCA Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress Board of Trustees. The Alliance conducts research and sponsors educational projects that support high-quality programs for roofing contractors; ensures timely and forward-thinking industry responses to major economic and technological issues; and enhances the long-term viability and attractiveness of the industry to roofing workers.

Industry honor: JLL Supplier of Distinction Award recipient
CentiMark is proud to be recognized as one of six suppliers by JLL (Jones Lange LaSalle) in April 2014, as a Supplier of Distinction, for playing a key role in elevating the firms ability to deliver industry-leading service, value and innovation to its corporate clients.
CentiMark was the winner of the Collaboration Category that considers suppliers that increase business opportunities and risk-sharing for mutual benefit. As an example, CentiMark was noted for a project with a global telecom provider. CentiMark increased that particular customer’s speed-to-market through streamlining roofing standards that saved more than $200,000 in roof inspections.
