Royalty Roofing is the nation’s leading Duro-Last Single-ply Commercial Roofing Contractor
Duro-Last Founder,
John R. Burt
1921-2003
Founded by John R. Burt in 1978, Duro-Last is the world’s largest manufacturer of custom-prefabricated roofing systems. In the mid-1970s, Burt owned a company that manufactured vinyl swimming pool liners, and came to the realization that if a liner kept water inside a pool it should also keep water out. From that simple premise, the Duro-Last single-ply roofing system was created.
Duro-Last’s corporate leadership continues to direct the business with the same spirit and commitment that John Burt embodied. “My philosophy is this — if I’m going to manufacture a product, that product better be the best of its kind and do what it’s supposed to do,” he said. “That’s why today, we have the highest quality roofing system in the industry and are well-known for backing that system with outstanding customer service and excellent warranties.”
Royalty is proud to be a Platinum level contractor for Duro-Last and we are committed to upholding John Burt’s legacy by ensuring customer satisfaction with superior installation of Duro-Last’s high-quality roofing systems.
We are proud to be an authorized Platinum Contractor for Duro-Last® Roofing. Platinum status – awarded by Duro-Last based on the volume of square footage installed and consistently high quality installation scores – has been achieved by fewer than 2% of authorized contractors.
