Springfield Roofing recently completed a flat roof installation project for Spicer’s Boat City in Houghton Lake, Michigan. This project required a durable, energy-efficient roofing solution to meet the demands of Michigan’s changing seasons. Spicer’s Boat City is one of the Midwest’s largest powersports and marine dealers, offering a wide selection of boats, ATVs, snowmobiles, and RVs—serving outdoor enthusiasts across Michigan for over 50 years.
In 1996, Spicer’s Boat City, Michigan’s best selection of boats and powersports, proudly installed a Springfield flat roof – a testament to their commitment to quality. Despite the years that have passed, this roof impressively outperformed its 15-year warranty, displaying its resilience.
Yet, to uphold Spicer’s unwavering standards, it became evident that certain maintenance and improvements were essential, particularly addressing cracks and punctures in the flat roof membrane that had developed over time. This proactive approach ensured that Spicer’s continued to provide customers with lasting quality and reliability.
Since the previous Springfield flat roof had outlasted their warranty period and effectively kept the building protected, Spicer’s decided the most efficient way to address further issues was to re-roof their building and receive a new warranty – which they knew would far exceed the life expectancy if serviced and maintained appropriately.
The flat roof project would entail the following:
When faced with the decision to repair or replace their current roof, Spicer’s knew they wanted to invest in a Springfield flat roof again. This solution has yielded exceptional results, including:
Extended Lifespan: The previous roof is proof that, if properly maintained, a roof can extend far beyond its initial warranty, providing long-term protection and peace of mind.
Energy Efficiency: The added insulation has led to reduced utility costs and a more comfortable indoor environment.
Aesthetic Appeal: The addition of customized edge details and matching flashing has improved functionality and enhanced the overall aesthetics.
Safety Assurance: The installation of a Smart Ladder Rest ensures safe access for future maintenance and inspections, promoting a secure working environment.
Since working on Spicer’s Boat City main building, Springfield has continued to earn Spicer’s trust and has been contracted to work on various service and flat roof projects across Spicer’s, demonstrating the value of a reliable roofing partner in maintaining a critical aspect of their infrastructure.
