MoDOT Turns Old Roofing Shingles Into New Roadways – St. Louis News – Daily RFT

Here's an interesting little nugget to file in the Department of “Bet Ya Didn't Know That.”

Did you know that the Missouri Department of Transportation is recycling roof shingles for roads? It's true. Last year MoDOT used 53,000 tons of recycled asphalt shingles (enough to cover 17,000 homes) for roadwork projects across the state.

Shingles are mostly asphalt making them ideal for road construction. MoDOT estimates it saved about $20 million last year using recycled shingles and reduced the amount of petroleum (a key ingredient of asphalt) required for roadwork by 20 percent.

Chicago Roof Repair

Hello, I’m Chuck, Chicagoland’s roof leak technician with over 21 years in the construction and roofing industry. As a CertainTeed certified master roofer, I use cutting edge techniques and materials in order to diagnose and resolve even your most difficult leak problems. My procedures meet or exceed the latest repair standards. Feel free to surf around, or use the sitemap to explore my site. I have many photos, videos, articles, and a photo/video blog.

Most importantly, as a sole proprietor, I perform all of the work myself, thus eliminating sloppy and insufficient work quality often performed by unsupervised employees, the number one reason for unsatisfactory workmanship. Roofing companies advertise roof repair with the intent of selling you an entire new roofing system. I specialize in extending the serviceability of your existing roof with professional repair and maintenance . As a leak repair specialist, I will never pressure you into replacing a whole roofing system when repair, maintenance, a new skylight, or chimney flashing system can extend the serviceable life of your roof as long as possible.

I use Mastic Performance Metals in all my chimney, skylight, and wall flashing systems. I follow the repair standards set by GAF, CertainTeed, and the NRCA Repair Manuals. As a CertainTeed certified master shingle applicator, I am up to date and follow all OSHA safety regulations. As well, I have completed the free VELUX Skylight installation training course, and an additional two week hands on training with a Velux certified installer.

From shingle repair, skylight and chimney leaks to flat roof coatings, I have you covered! The top photo was taken on the corner of Diversey and Kedzie. The gutter was leaking and several roofers had attempted to fix it, to no avail. Today it is leak free. The other two are a before and after skylight replacement I did on the north side of Chicago.
