The Velco Group, is a roofing contractor with over half a century of dedication to excellence, has built an impeccable reputation by taking on complex and specialty luxury home projects. Recently, the company was selected to meticulously installing a new slate roof on an extensive, mountain lodge-style estate in Texas. The project required a roofing underlayment product that could stand up to inclement weather and be installed under the pressure of a tight completion deadline. Plus, the product had to work on a roof with over 60 roofing slopes and a cone-shaped bay window.
This project demanded the exceptional customer service and relentless quality that The Velco Group is known for, as well as a roofing underlayment with a proven track record of protecting significant investments. This is where Polyglass USA’s Polystick MTS Plus Self-Adhered, High-Temperature Roof Underlayment, played a key role in effectively meeting these demands.
Polyglass USA’s Polystick MTS Plus Self-Adhered, High-Temperature Roof Underlayment, offered a robust solution to the numerous challenges of the project. Its exceptional waterproofing capabilities were crucial during the removal of the old roof, the installation of new siding, and the application of copper and slate roofing materials. The underlayment’s durability and reliability ensured the home remained protected from water damage throughout the renovation process, even under the pressure of harsh weather conditions including torrential rain.
The spectacular project earned a 2023 Golden Hammer Award for Outstanding Residential Slate Project from the North Texas Roofing Contractors Association (NTRCA). This prestigious award attests to The Velco Group’s expertise and the superior performance of Polyglass products, marking a significant milestone in the company’s history and further solidifying its reputation in the industry.
Eric Larsen, the director of operations for The Velco Group, expressed his satisfaction with Polyglass USA: “Polyglass products perform better for us than any other product we’ve used. We use them on our slate, tile, and metal installations.” This endorsement highlights the reliability and versatility of Polyglass products in a variety of high-end roofing applications.
