With safety at the forefront of Patriot Group’s methods, they are able to retain a skilled roofing staff with years of on-site experience. Due to the efficient nature of fluid-applied technology, less manpower, and less risk is involved in Patriot Group’s roof restoration process. “Safety is and continues to be my number one priority on the job,” said Philbeck. “I feel a tremendous obligation to ensure that each one of my employees goes home safely to their families each day. Before we even bid a job, we are already deter- mining what safety measures are needed and how we can eliminate or ‘design-out’ any potential hazards for our employees. It is not just the right thing to do, but also makes good business sense.” Patriot’s fluid-applied technology is not only the solution to this manpow- er shortage, but also an economical approach to tight facility maintenance budgets. Patriot Group has found a niche in the automotive sector, as they are able to completely resurface large areas, while allowing production lines to continue at a normal pace. While using Patriot’s roofing services, auto- motive production lines have little to no disruption to ongoing operations and experienced zero minutes of down- time—a statistic highly desired in the fast-paced manufacturing sector. Many facility managers are thrilled to discover that they can extend the life of their roof, while staying under their constrict- ed budget, and continuing production in the process. As opposed to traditional roofing, Patriot Group’s method pro- motes green building initiatives, as there is a significant reduction of waste in fluid-applied technology. The advantages offered by fluid applied al- ternatives, spanning safety, schedule, and budget, demonstrate why it is the future of the roofing and waterproofing industry. With great success in the industrial sector, Patriot has also had the distinction of servicing state, and federal governmen- tal entities—a privilege that is highly sought-after in the roofing market. Patriot Group, whose name portrays Philbeck’s deep roots in the military, carries the status of a Certified Veteran Enterprise. This position provides Patriot Group with the unique capability to service military and government entities with the same expert technology as the private sector. In addition, they offer an industrial floor sealant method that allows for safer and more timely application. PATRIOT GROUP
