Exterior Pro Roofing became a dealer/ installer of the Duro-Last commercial roofing system in 2012. From the first job we did with the Duro-Last roofing system we knew that this product line was a fit for our company and that we had found a commercial roofing system that was as tuff and hardworking as our own in-house roofing crews are.
We embraced the systemized approach to flat roofing taught to our crews by the Duro Last technical field advisors and we quickly learned to streamline our installation processes which improves quality and controls cost creating big value for our clients.
Exterior Pro is a success story and example of what hard work and sticking with a product line can do for a roofing company. Today we travel Indiana and Kentucky installing Duro last roofing on new construction and re-roofing projects and Exterior Pro has become a well known Duro last roofing contractor in the region.

Restaurants roofs can be harsh environments densely packed with HVAC units and Grease hoods emitting animal fats and restaurant roofs have much higher than average foot traffic on them.
