The Solution
Galyan's wanted a notable look to attract customers to their first Utah store, but high construction costs were inhibitive. Clarks Quality Roofing proposed that, rather than install a costly metal roof, they install a membrane roofing system with attached membrane battons. This system looks like a curved metal roof, but is half the cost of metal.
Stringent safety standards were adhered to during the project. All workers were fully tied-off during the installation of the steep roof. Clark's Quaility Roofing has a comprehensive safety program and one of the best experience 
modifications in the region spoke.
Since Clarks had worked with each general contractor independently on separate projects of equal difficulty, the coordination and communication was very successful.
