ROOFLIFTERS … the clear height problem solvers.

Specializing in lifting existing roofs of low clear height industrial and commercial buildings, ROOFLIFTERS’ patented technology allows for cost efficient vertical expansion of buildings that would otherwise require demolition and reconstruction to accommodate business growth.

How ROOFLIFTERS works for you

By raising the roof of buildings with low clear height, owners, users, and developers across North America are able to improve a building’s capacity and functionality without the excessive costs associated with the alternatives. Once these under performing assets are rehabilitated, they can be repositioned as modern and profitable facilities. By improving the building’s distribution, storage, manufacturing, or retail capabilities the capital value of a property is significantly increased. By lifting the existing roof, an existing facility can double or triple in usable cubic footage without increasing the property footprint, thereby adding real value to the asset or acquisition.

Benefits of lifting the existing roof:

• Converts buildings with insufficient ceiling heights into usable marketable buildings.

• An ideal solution where the economics and logistics of relocating and building a new facility are not feasible.

• Maintains existing footprint of the building while increasing capacity.

• Minimizes costs and environmental impact by utilizing the existing roof structure, framework and services.

• Minimizes regulations, zoning restrictions, and taxes associated with new construction.

• Minimizes disruption of business or production downtime as the roof can be lifted complete or in sections.

• Extremely fast compared to conventional reconstruction methods.

• Can allow for mezzanine or second floor construction, which can convert warehouses into office or retail facilities and vice versa.

The Green alternative

Roof lifting is considered “the Green alternative’ by many industry professionals because expansion of a property is upwards, so no new land is necessary. There is minimum disruption to the locality with regards to the construction process and there is little or no waste product to dispose of, therefore no adding to landfills. Additionally, 90% of existing materials are reused, or recycled in the process, thus minimizing the use of valuable natural resources.
