RESTORE · CERTIFIED FAR CONTRACTOR
Restore it. Skip the tear-off.
A FAR restoration is built right on top of the roof you already have, creating one continuous membrane over the seams, gaps and penetrations where roofs fail.
Prep and repair
We clean, prime and seal problem spots with FAR's fiber-infused sealants.
Reinforced base
FiberSeal Base seals seams and bridges gaps. No fabric or seam tape.
Finish coat
A bright, reflective white finish coat completes one seamless membrane.
More coating options
FAR is our go-to, but it isn't the only coating we trust. When a roof or a project calls for something else, we're set up for that too.
Conklin roof coatings
Conklin has made acrylic roof coatings since 1977, and many Idaho roofs already carry a Conklin system. We install new Conklin systems and repair, maintain and recoat existing ones. Still under a Conklin warranty? Bring the paperwork to your inspection and we'll work within its terms.
American WeatherStar
Another proven coating system we install and service when it's the right fit for the roof, or when a project calls for it.
Spray foam
We install new spray foam roofs. Spray polyurethane foam adds insulation and a seamless waterproof layer in one step, then gets a protective coating. Great over old metal and worn-out flat roofs. See our spray foam jobs →
Conklin at the Ford Idaho Sports Center
About 100,000 sq ft of metal roof in Nampa, sealed seam by seam and coated with a Conklin system. No tear-off, and the building stayed open. See the full project →
REPLACE · CERTIFIED DURO-LAST CONTRACTOR
Heat-welded. Built to last.
When a roof is past saving, we install a Duro-Last PVC or TPO system over new polyiso insulation that adds R-value and saves energy — on steel, wood or concrete decks.

Spears Manufacturing, Jerome: before and after
A 7-acre roof. The 50,000 sq ft section below went from worn and cracked to a new Duro-Last membrane.
Metal roofs, including standing seam.
We install new metal roofs, including standing seam, and we restore existing metal roofs when the panels are still sound. Same as everything else we do: our own crew, and one of the family on the job.
Small problems. Real damage.
These are real photos from roofs we've inspected. Most started as something small that nobody could see from the ground. Caught early, they're a repair. Left alone, they're a new roof.
Straight answers.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes. A full inspection and a photo report with repairs ranked by priority. If your roof is fine, we'll tell you. No cost, no obligation, no sales pitch.
How do I know whether to restore or replace?
If the deck is sound and the roof is mostly dry, a FAR restoration can add years for less than a tear-off. Widespread water damage usually means a new Duro-Last roof is the better investment. The free inspection tells you which.
What warranties do you offer?
Every job we do carries our own written warranty. On top of that, Duro-Last inspects every Duro-Last roof we install and backs it with a No Dollar Limit warranty of 15–25 years, with hail and high-wind coverage available. FAR: 10–20 years, documented in writing.
TPO or PVC?
Duro-TECH TPO fits most commercial buildings and budgets. Duro-Last PVC is our premium membrane and resists grease, oils and chemicals — ideal for restaurants and food processors.
Do you use subcontractors?
Never. Every roof is installed by our own crew, and Michael or David Mast is directly involved on every job. No subs, no distant foreman — just us.
Will my business need to close?
No. Whether we restore or replace, we work around your operations so your business stays open the whole time.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, on restorations and replacements. A restoration may also count as a maintenance expense — ask your tax advisor.
Can you help with a hail or wind claim?
Yes. We document storm damage with photos and help you through the claim.
Do you install other systems?
Yes. We're a certified Conklin contractor, and we also install American WeatherStar coatings, spray foam and metal roofs, including standing seam.
