Seattle Commercial Roofing Provider Given GAF Green Roofer Award

The Certified Green Roofer classification recognizes contractors who have displayed environmental leadership.

Auburn, WA (prHWY.com) October 19, 2012 - Auburn, Washington (September 26, 2012) - Tedrick's Roofing, a leading name among Seattle commercial roofing companies, has been recognized as a Certified Green Roofer by the GAF, North America's largest roofing manufacturer. With more than 11 million tons of asphalt shingles thrown away every year, Tedrick's Roofing is doing they part in reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.

The Certified Green Roofer classification recognizes contractors who have displayed environmental leadership. Developed in coordination with the United States Green Building Council, the certification helps contractors by directing business to the compliant enterprises and improving customer closing rates for the awardees.

Tacoma roofing enterprises that are Certified Green Roofers maintain sustainable jobsites that help alleviate the huge expense of disposing waste asphalt shingles, which cost more than $400 million in disposal fees. The price tag is expected to further increase, so solid waste generators are finding ways to recycle waste asphalt shingles.

At present, the biggest market for recycled asphalt shingles is the Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) sector. Since the materials for asphalt shingles are similar to HMA road application mixes, waste asphalt shingles can be redirected from landfills and reused.

According to a study commissioned by the Construction Materials Recycling Association (CMRA), recycling waste asphalt shingles has significant benefits such as decreased demands on virgin cement and aggregates, reduced HMA production costs and improved resistance to cracking.

For the past 25 years, Tedrick's Roofing has been providing dependable, high quality residential and commercial roofing Auburn and the neighboring areas. The company uses only brand name, industry leading products and delivers service unmatched by roofing contractors in the area.
