Canyon Lake Fire Station 51 Roof Replacement

This project for Canyon Lake Fire Station 51 called for a full tear-off and rebuild of the roofing system. We installed Malarkey Vista™ AR shingles in Weathered Wood, with Smart Start™ starter shingles and RidgeFlex™ caps for long-lasting wind and weather resistance. Under the hood, we laid down Arctic Seal® ice/water barrier and synthetic underlayment from TRI-BUILT™ for high-performance moisture defense.

The entire system is backed by a 50-year manufacturer warranty and our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

We provide similar roof repair in New Braunfels and surrounding areas, specializing in municipal and commercial buildings.
