Though they are not architects, Midland Engineering is a specialty roofing contractor and custom metal fabricator trusted by leading regional design firms to execute historic slate, copper and tile restorations. The company works on high-profile collegiate, civic, religious, educational and hospitality projects, where aesthetics and performance are equally important.
For these demanding applications, Midland turns to polymeric roofing solutions from PEPA members EcoStar and DaVinci. The lightweight materials can deliver the look of traditional slate and shakes while reducing structural load and providing the durability needed for long-term performance. PEPA member Brava also manufactures beautifully authentic, high-performance polymeric roofing.
For civic, historic and upscale residential projects, Midland uses synthetic slate and shake profiles to recreate traditional roofing styles. The range of profiles, colors and textures also gives contractors flexibility to create custom designs, including blends that incorporate polymeric and traditional roofing materials.
For complex steep-slope roofing, Midland also uses polymeric roofing for its weathering performance, longevity and design flexibility. Custom color options can help match existing construction and maintain a cohesive appearance across restoration and new-build projects.
Polymeric roofing solutions give contractors like Midland Engineering the confidence to deliver historic styles and aesthetics with modern performance features that can endure the most demanding weather conditions.
