“BUTTS” on the Roof

Written by SpringfieldJuly 27, 2016

Recently a rooftop fire consumed a restaurant in Grand Rapids Michigan that was caused by a roofing contractor smoking while handling combustible materials.

When you hire Springfield, the only “BUTTS” you will see on your industrial facility rooftop are those of the hardworking men and women of northern Michigan who are hustling around and getting things done for you, our valued clients.  We have a strict “no smoking” policy.  The lack of cigarette “butts” on your rooftop will enable our Springfield crews to cover your “ASS-ets” in the best, safest method possible.  The “butts” we bring to your rooftop are not flammable and will not damage your facility.
