The Story of ORB Roofing Solutions
Welcome to the Future of Roof Asset Management
ORB Roofing Solutions, a premier roofing contractor and team of certified roofing specialists, was founded in 2017 when Chris Lee, a long-time commercial roofing expert, and roofing contractor noticed that the existing model of commercial roofing made little sense. Chris got his start in roofing selling roof coatings for the Garland Company, a long-standing stalwart manufacturer of roof coatings and restoration products. When Chris started his contracting business in 2013, as he spoke with owners, he noticed a ton of commercial flat roofing and commercial metal roofing structures failing well before their expected life spans.
It eventually became evident that the current model in the roofing industry was broken. A lack of mindfulness and maintenance on the part of commercial owners was costing them thousands over the life of their buildings. After all, we perform maintenance throughout commercial facilities all the time. Why is it that we simply neglect the roof until the point of absolute failure? Commercial contractors were doing little to push the envelope as re-roofing an entire facility was much more lucrative than maintaining, repairing, and restoring it.
Empowered by this paradigm shift, Chris and his son Austin Lee scoured the market for the latest technologies, software, and tools. Utilizing advanced technologies and our unique approach centered on maintaining and restoring roof systems, ORB Roofing Solutions has created an approach to roofing that provides peace of mind, straight-line roofing budgets, and substantially lower lifetime roofing costs for our customers. Whether you’re looking for commercial flat roofing contractors near me or commercial metal roofing contractors near me, our roof repair experts and commercial roofers in my area have you covered.
