Baker Roofing Company was honored to have one of its recently completed institutional projects featured in Roofing Magazine’s November/December 2016 issue. Roofing Magazine published its first issue in March/April 2010, and since then has strived to be an industry leading publication that unravels, investigates and analyzes how to properly design, install and maintain a roof system. Through the voices of professionals in the field, Roofing’s editorial provides a unique perspective.

The magazine’s editorial staff reached out to Baker Roofing Company when they heard of the complex preservation and roof replacement project that was taking place at one of North Carolina’s most prestigious schools, Duke University. The Duke Chapel roof replacement and historic preservation project began May 2015 and reopened the doors May 2016 having undergone a successful year-long renovation.
