Bulmann Dock & Lift Metal Roof Retrofit in Boyne City, MI

Project Overview

Springfield Roofing recently completed a metal retrofit roof for Bulmann Dock and Lift in Boyne City, Michigan. This project required a long-lasting, energy-efficient roofing solution designed to meet the needs of a high-performance manufacturing facility. Bulmann is a Michigan-based company known for engineering premium dock and lift systems that combine innovation, strength, and simplicity for waterfront living.

Scope of Work & The Challenge

When you think of northern Michigan, you think of the great outdoors and life on the lake. It is truly a lifestyle, and that is the foundation the Bulmann’s built their business on.  

Bulmann Dock & Lift is a family owned and operated boat lift, dock, and lakefront accessories manufacturing company located in Boyne City, Michigan. Through a rapidly growing network of dealers and customer needs, Bulmann Dock and Lift is able to serve the greater Midwest Region. That being said, Bulmann needed to ensure their production facility continues to meet the standards of the products they manufacture.  

The Boyne City facility, a metal commercial building, was continuously causing headaches for team members. From watching inclement weather to heat loss and water management, it was time for the team to explore a solution that would minimize disruptions and future headaches and maximize efficiency and quality. 

Why We Recommended A Metal Retrofit Roof

Bulmann Dock and Lift had an aging metal roof that was failing at the surface but structurally sound. A full tear-off was unnecessary. A Duro-Last metal retrofit let us build over the existing roof, add insulation, and install a custom-fabricated PVC membrane without shutting the facility down.

If your building has an existing metal roof, a retrofit may cost less than you think. Learn more about our metal retrofit re-roofing process.
