A disastrous roofing statistic is that 80% of roofs are replaced unnecessarily. Some companies in our field prefer to replace the roof rather than take the risk of repairing the defective section. The expertise we’ve built up over the years means we’re prepared to take the risk of repairing a roof to ensure the customer has a leak-free roof at a lower cost.
Changing practices
This industry practice of unnecessarily replacing roofs that can be repaired has a significant ecological impact. On the one hand, new products have to be manufactured all the time. This requires the use of new resources and raw materials. On the other hand, according to the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), some 40 million tonnes of roofing materials are sent to landfill every year.
By working in concert with members of the industry, we have allied ourselves with visionaries who respect the customer’s passion for real estate, their desire to make a return and their concern for the environment.
As much as we’d like everyone to embrace this approach, we’re aware that, unfortunately, there are still people who sacrifice the environment for the sake of money.
Customers with environmental values
At Testudo, we want to work with real estate investor customers who are pioneers and want to implement more eco-responsible practices. Better environmental practices don’t necessarily mean a minimalist lifestyle – quite the contrary. It’s simply a matter of changing certain practices and getting the right people involved.
What we’re proposing here is to change the practice from roof replacement to repair, inspection and preventive work. These methods are 100% approved by the building code. Everything Testudo does is also approved by insurers, architects and manufacturers. We have perfected our work methods and use top-quality materials.
The Testudo solution extends the life of your roof. In doing so, you’re doing yourself good by keeping your investments safe, and you’re doing the planet good by reducing unnecessary landfill waste.
We’re sure that once you’ve used Testudo, you’ll never see nature in the same way again.
