Article: Tropical Reroofing.

After hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017, Thomas Phoenix traveled to St. Thomas, USVI to install 162,000 square feet of MR-24 roof on 12 separate slope-build up planes. Battling constant power outages and post-hurricane supply shortages, our crew trained and worked side by side with local craftsmen to rebuild and renovate this local plaza’s roof.
