Q&A
What makes Duro-Last a good choice for flat roofs in Lubbock?
The Duro-Last system is a premier single-ply membrane known for its durability and weather resistance, which is crucial for Lubbock's climate. As a Certified Duro-Last Contractor, GKS Commercial installs this pre-fabricated system to minimize seams, which helps prevent common local issues like roof flashing separation and moisture infiltration. Its reflective surface can also improve energy efficiency, an important consideration for local commercial buildings.
As a business owner, how does having a licensed adjuster on staff benefit my roofing project?
Having Kyle Forster, a licensed insurance adjuster and member of the Independent Insurance Agents of Lubbock, on our team provides a significant advantage. He understands both the construction and insurance sides of a project. This expertise helps ensure that damage assessments are thorough and that documentation for insurance claims is completed accurately, facilitating a smoother process for you and helping to maximize your entitled coverage for repairs or a new installation.
Can you handle both the roofing and exterior finishing for my commercial building?
Yes, absolutely. GKS Commercial provides comprehensive exterior solutions for Lubbock businesses. Beyond commercial roofing with products like Duro-Last, TPO, and metal, we offer custom commercial framing, stucco applications, installation of casement windows and doors, interior and exterior painting, and vinyl or steel siding. This integrated approach ensures continuity, quality control, and a single point of responsibility for your project's entire envelope.
