A CentiMark Roof for A Medical Outpatient Facility Under One Roof.

Edward B. Dunlap, CentiMark Chairman and his wife Anna Dunlap, are well known for their philanthropy in western PA and across the United States and Canada. With the grand opening of The Dunlap Family Outpatient Center at St. Clair Heath, Mt. Lebanon, PA, on May 7, 2021, they left a legacy for The Dunlap Family for future generations and created a state-of-the-art outpatient center for the South Hills community in western PA.

The NRCA (National Roofing Contractors Association) identified the changes listed below as significant challenges to the supply chain in the commercial roofing industry. 

In 2020 and 2021, the changes in the world were both global and a perfect storm: the pandemic, the fires in the northwest United States, hurricanes, hail storms, flooding, working from home, stimulus money that changed consumer spending, blockage of trade ships in the Suez Canal, trade wars with China and the shortage of commercial truck drivers.
