In 1978, Ray Ellis started Rayco Construction and built the commercial roofing company on strong relationships and referrals. After nearly 30 years of running the company, Ellis sold his business in 2006 to Duane Nelson and Paul Janssen, Rayco Construction's current president and vice president, respectively.

Nelson started working for his family's logging company, operating equipment and driving trucks, while most of us were learning to ride a two-wheel bike. Right out of high school, he began his career as a laborer putting on roofs. As his roofing career unfolded, he gained experience driving trucks, running cranes, watching over crews as a foreman, and eventually becoming a salesman.

Roof Design

Report

Choosing the best roof system for the building requires accurate roof designs and specifications. Many roof specifications that we encounter have incomplete plans for the roof system. Instead of expecting change orders from your roofing contractor, we recommend that you start with a complete plan so there are no surprises.

Maintenance

Report

Everyday exposure to sun, rain, maintenance workers, and other wear and tear slowly ages the roof membrane until the roof reaches the end of its service life. Studies have shown that a roof that is not regularly maintained will only last about half of its expected service life. Performing seasonal maintenance on your roof protects your investment.

Repair

Report

Flat roof problems are like a puzzle; they are often not straightforward. Why? Water is cohesive (or sticky) and will follow paths until it begins to drip. You may have a leak that shows up 10 feet from where it originated. Our highly experienced repair technicians will be able to identify the problem.

Commercial

Report

Commercial shingle projects are much more complex than putting shingles on a house. Roof pitch, size of roof, hips, valleys, mansards, crickets and gutters all come into play when planning the best possible roof. Large-scale shingle projects should be completed with commercial-grade shingles and products.

Flat Roofs

Report

Roofing technology has advanced beyond asphalt solutions, and today there are multiple choices to examine. For example, TPO membrane roofs (e.g. white roofs) is one of the latest technologies in the commercial roofing industry that can offer certain advantages to customers.
