HOUSTON,
TX. January 15, 2010. Regional “green”
commercial roofing company Integris Roofing Services, LLC formally entered into
the Houston Multifamily Rehabilitation Market.
With the advent of new roofing codes that call for the greening of city
multifamily housing buildings, Integris has started a division dedicated to
helping client owners and general contractors economically adhere to the new
standards.
Integris
historically provides roofing services for industrial and commercial entities –
primarily flat roofs. They use a variety
of technologies to provide cool roofs, green roofs, and solar roofs on an
economical basis for their clients. The
Houston code provides a new, more difficult standard for most city contractors
to comply with. Historically, shingle
roofs, which constitute the majority of multifamily tenant buildings, were
considered off limits to green regulations.
But now with new overhauls, the typical money center – the Office of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is requiring even these projects to go
green.
