Safety


Safety is the cornerstone of success for any roof system installation. Our company has worked in conjunction with OSHA and the national ABC (Associated Builders and Contractors) office and has been awarded the platinum designation for Safety Awareness by the National office. We are comitted to a safe jobsite and maintain training records for review. A designated competent person is on site at all times.

Did you know that a white, heat-welded TPO system does not require any torches or kettles during installation? The roof seams are fused together with hot air that is applied at a uniform temperature by a robotic welder. This eliminates "the human variables" and provides a stronger final weld.

Other benefits of choosing Northcross include a 15-year Total Systems Warranty from the manufacturer and improved Energy-Efficiency.

All of this from a contractor who recognized in the industry! In 2009, our company earned the designation of “Master Contractor” from Firestone Building Products.

We are one of only six contractors in the Chicago area (and the only non-union firm) to receive this award. “Master Contractor” status is awarded to the top contractors in the country for their commitment to installing quality, water?tight roof systems.


Why a Fire-Rated Sheet? 

The above picture shows a TPO roof that Northcross installed in 1995. Recently, an arsonist set fire to the rear of the building. The self-extinguishing properties of the sheet limited the spread of the fire to other portions of the roof and helped to prevent additional damage to the building or neighboring tenant’s space.
