Hearst Castle

The Hearst Castle Re-Roof Project seems fairly simple on paper with around 150 squares of tile and 25 squares of built up roofing, but as the project began there were a few interesting challenges that were overcome to prove BEST Contracting Service’s role as a leader in the roofing industry.

One of the challenges was the fact that “La Casa Grande” or The Casa Grande at Hearst Castle is not only a State Historical Monument, but also a working state park that only shuts down for a few select holidays. With between 1500-6000 visitors a day this made the mobilization and setup a logistical challenge. Throughout the project, workers coordinated their timing with the tours to ensure the safety of the public while having minimal impact on public access.

BEST’s work on LA Convention Center earns placing in Sustainability Category

We here at BEST Contracting Services stand behind our work and are proud of our workmanship. It is always such an honor when we are recognized for our commitment to our projects and clients. BEST Contracting Services was recently awarded Third place in the Sustainability Category of Sika Sarnafil’s 2016 Project of the Year competition for our work on the LA Convention Center (LACC).

We have partnered with Sika Sarnafil because their PVC thermoplastic membrane technology is an industry leader.

The Los Angeles Convention Center first opened its doors in 1971 and is still considered one of the larger convention centers in the US. City owned and AEG managed, the LACC is assuming the mantle for environmental stewardship. It achieved LEED certification back in 2008 and now maintains a LEED Gold certification status. The LACC is constantly striving to improve its facilities through expansion/modernization.

BEST was selected to furnish and install approximately 500,000 square feet of Sika Sarnafil PVC thermoplastic membrane roofing materials throughout the entire building, mainly the Upper and Lower Concourse roof, the entire South Hall building and the South and West Tower roofs.

BEST and LACC supervisor, Tim Stratton reviewed the multitude of issues that needed addressing on a daily basis. These issues included safety lines and fall protection, material delivery and scheduling challenges due to the fact that this is a functioning facility with access to the public. The biggest obstacle was the safety of the public. BEST’s crew had to build a 10′ ramp to transport materials and employed the use of a crane for delivery of materials. BEST crews also worked around the LACC’s events by working the night shift. BEST goals are to work within the client’s requirements and were fortunate enough to have made a great partnership with the management of LACC.

Gardena, CA – March 27, 2018: Best Contracting Services, Inc.

Best Contracting Services, Inc., of Gardena, California, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Best Contracting Services as one of the “elite of the elite” commercial roofing contractors in the United States.

GAF is North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and only GAF Master Select(TM) Contractors can compete for its commercial President’s Club Award. To qualify for this award, a commercial roofing contractor must meet specific criteria in at least one out of three different pathways:

  • Performance pathway – where contractors focus on giving their property owners the best possible service, quality, and protection
  • Reliability pathway – where the contractor has a long history of offering their customers the best quality and protection
  • Service pathway – where contractors consistently offer their customers the best protection available in the marketplace.

Best Contracting Services has been a GAF Master Select(TM) Contractor since 2002. To become a Master Select(TM) Contractor—a status that less than 1% of roofing contractors nationwide are able to achieve—a candidate must demonstrate proper licensing, maintain insurance (in states that require it), have a proven reputation, and show commitment to ongoing professional training.

“We value our certified contractors for raising the industry standard year after year by installing the best roofing products and systems. Our President’s Club award recognizes only those contractors who have distinguished themselves by the highest standards of excellence, customer satisfaction, and dependability,” says Jim Slauson, GAF’s VP of Certified Program & Services.

As an approved applicator for most types of roofing, including single-ply, built-up, modified bitumen, tile and shake, metal, and foam, Best Contracting Services uses experienced crews who have been factory-trained for each type of roofing system. The company’s services including roofing, waterproofing, glazing, architectural metal panels, concrete restoration, and HVAC. Best is also skilled with green construction, including solar systems, cool roofs, daylighting, and vegetated roofs. The company provides water-testing and 24/7 emergency leak-repair services.

The Asphaltic Certification indicates that the contractor specializes in installing asphaltic roofing systems, and the Single-Ply Certification indicates a specialization in installing single-ply roofing systems. With the Topcoat Certification, Best Contracting Services is recognized for specializing in the installation of GAF’s TOPCOAT(R) products—liquid-applied roofing restoration systems formulated to stand up to the harshest of roof conditions and provide energy savings at a fraction of the cost of a new roof.

BEST Recognized as Top Leaders in Commercial Roofing Contractors

Best Contracting Services was ranked top 3 across the nation by the prestigious General Contractors Magazine

“Compared to residential roofing systems, the process of installing commercial roof systems is more complicated and time-consuming. Homeowners can simply select their preferred roofing material—usually, either asphalt shingle and concrete tiles—- and the contractor can apply it immediately and be done with it in a day or two. However, for commercial roofing systems, the process involves multiple factors such as spraying of polyurethane foam, restoration coatings, selection of single-ply materials (TPO, PVC, EPDM), modified bitumen, concrete, built-up, tar, gravel, and more. The process often requires multiple days of waiting for a product to cure, settle, and be glued thoroughly, and it generally takes more than a month to finish a project depending on the size of the structure’s roof area. Roof repairs and roof installations can cost millions, which businesses can’t risk wasting.

With that in mind, we’ve put together a list of the best roofing contractors in the country, which have all completed remarkable projects showcasing the level of quality of their roofing services. We also took into consideration their years of experience, principal’s background, number of awards received, notable projects, and customer reviews.”
