Everyone needs a roof, but what type of roof system is best for your building? What's the difference between low slop and steep slope?
At Roof One Michigan we provide commercial buildings with low slope roofs. We have been repairing and installing commercial low slope roofing for decades. We have witnessed many interesting issues! Old buildings, new construction, remodels, you name it, when it comes to commercial roofing in Michigan, we’ve done it…And with outstanding results.
