Garland Keeps Work Flowing For Leading Glass Packaging Manufacturer

Since most roof leaks begin slowly, it can be tempting to postpone repair or replacement out of concern that the solution will be even more disruptive than the problem. For that reason, the roof leaks at Saint-Gobain's glass container manufacturing facility in Madera, CA, were already severe when Garland representative, Richard Jones, was asked to inspect them. Contractor, Dan Mather of Fresno Roofing, who would eventually handle the necessary re-roofing project, describes the condition of the roof like this: "The mechanically attached EPDM with adhesive seams was leaking badly, with splits in the angles, pipe boots, and membrane. The leaks were over a production area where they make glass containers for wine, and they were disrupting the workflow below. When Garland invited us to bid on the project, our challenge was to put on a new roof without further interruption to the manufacturing work."
