Abril Roofing Company, Inc. Comparative Summary

Abril Roofing, Inc. is a family-owned roofing contractor that specializes in installing polyurethane foam roofing for residential and commercial clients throughout the Bay Area. According to co-owner Rick Abril, Jr., the firm’s precise focus and familial organization leads to an emphasis on quality. “Foam roofing is our specialty, but we bring a high level of expertise to many aspects of roofing,” he explains. “And because we’re a family business, every job is important to us.”

Foam roofing is designed for flat or low-sloping roofs that are commonly found on commercial buildings, although some styles of residential homes, such as Eichler homes, have them as well. The roofing material is comprised of a layer of polyurethane foam topped with an acrylic surface. Since flat-roofed buildings usually don’t have attics, the foam provides insulation that can significantly reduce energy bills—reducing indoor temperatures by 10 to 15 degrees in summer and saving up to 30 percent on heating bills in winter. Also, when applied, the foam can be given a slight slope to improve drainage and prevent water from pooling.

Abril Roofing provides a 15-year, transferrable warranty on its roofs and also offers annual maintenance agreements, which include semiannual inspections to clean customers’ roofs and ensure they’re draining properly.
