Excellence Through Innovation
ROOFLIFTERS was formed to take advantage of one of the most unique cost saving construction processes in the industry. The process of lifting an existing roof of a building has been around for many years. But prior to 1989 roof lifting was accomplished by inefficient technology or by either taking the existing roof apart and then rebuilding it at a higher elevation, or building an entirely new roof above the existing structure and then demolishing the original roof. None of those methods have proven to be economical.
The process of lifting an existing roof changed dramatically when Peter Vanderklaauw, former engineering professor at the University of Miami, developed a revolutionary system for raising the roof of existing buildings safe and efficiently. That method became the basis for what is now called the CribPost system. For over 15 years Vanderklaauw himself and his company became a primary source in North America for structural lifting solutions.
Today, key personnel of that company bring a combined 40 years of unrivaled lifting experience to ROOFLIFTERS. Formed to specifically to meet the increased demands for clear height across North America, ROOFLIFTERS is now the driving force behind continued innovation and methods of cost efficient roof lifting solutions.
By providing the combined services of a design build company, general contractor and roof lifting contractor, ROOFLIFTERS is able to maximize cost savings for its clients as the complete source for roof lifting.
It is this ingenuity and commitment to our clients that establishes the benchmark for excellence in the roof lifting industry.
