We, Convert.
Green roofs range from small residential retreats to large commercial and institutional projects, each with its own particular goals and requirements. Every project is unique, and each client has individual needs and aesthetic values.
Convert applies an integrated approach to building green roofs, utilizing a comprehensive understanding of different systems, allowing you to match project needs with the best available technologies. Convert is dedicated to implementing green roofs as sustainable strategies for storm water BMPs, energy efficiency, and urban heat island mitigation.
Convert is a full spectrum green roof service, providing consultation, design assistance, project management, installation, and maintenance services. Any of these can be contracted separately, as needed, always with the intention of building strong relationships and promoting sound green roofing practices.
Convert . . . redefine the skyline.
