Whether roofing a new building, re-roofing or adding a partial green roof space to an existing building our expert installers will provide you with the most innovative, cost effective and long lasting solutions. We install small or large jobs with the same quality and knowledge that Gordon Contractors has come to be known for.
Gordon Contractors has an extensive portfolio of green roofing installations across the greater metropolitan DC area. We have installed more high quality green roofing systems than any other roofing contractor.
A green roof system is an extension of the existing roof which involves a high quality waterproofing and root repellent system, drainage system, filter cloth, and a lightweight growing medium and plants.
Green roof systems may be:
Modular, with drainage layers, filter cloth, growing media and plants already prepared in movable, often interlocking grids
Pre-vegetated mats with growing media, water retention fleece, drainage mat and root barrier which can be rolled up and out of the way for easy roof access.
Loose laid/ built-up where each component of the system may be installed separately.
Green roof development involves the creation of “contained” green space on top of a human-made structure. This green space could be below, at or above grade, but in all cases the plants are not planted in the “ground’. Green roofs can provide a wide range of public and private benefits.
