57 Unique Roof Facets. One Unique Partnership.

Local Garland representative Matt McGonigal worked with Cuyahoga Falls City Hall to develop solutions that wouldbest complement this project. Rather than replacing the existing shingle roof. McGonigal recommended Garland's R-Mer® Loc. This high-performance metal solution would prove more adaptable to the building's architecture, and installing hat channels and retrofitting panels would be less expensive than reinstalling shingles. 

McGonigal worked with Cuyahoga Falls Building and Grounds Superintendent John Ball and City Engineer Tony Demasi to ensure the project flowed smoothly. In addition to the roof slopes, the building also required all new gutters and and downspouts to be covered with metal, and about 5,000 square feet of flat roof. Capped flat stock metal was installed on the captivating entrances, and the building's two "gazebo roofs" required additional details. 

McGonigal, Ball, and Demasi worked on the specifications package for about a month before bidding, with every piece of the roof requiring specialized attention to detail. Each every single screw hole was pre-drilled to accommodate the fasteners. Although it took longer, the attention to detail proved successful for the project. 

And even when problems arose, the team was resilient. They encountered an odd gutter near the building's clock tower that required a change to their original approach. But contracting company, Brookpark Design Builders of North Royalton, Ohio, adapted quickly. They tore out the existing gutter to make room for a custom gutter system made with flat stock metal, and progress continued.
