Weather Shield Roofing Systems, a Michigan-based commercial roofing contractor, announced the acquisition of Hightower Industries LLC, a provider of industrial roofing, commercial roof coatings, fluid-applied roofing systems and solar solutions across the Southeastern United States.

The partnership extends Weather Shield's footprint into southeastern markets, adding Hightower Industries' regional relationships and project expertise to Weather Shield's growing national presence.

"We are excited to welcome the talented team at Hightower Industries into the Weather Shield family," said Jim Bush, CEO of Weather Shield Roofing Systems. "This acquisition strengthens our ability to deliver cost-efficient, long-lasting roofing solutions and enhances our position as a national leader in commercial roofing services."

By combining Hightower's expertise in fluid-applied roof systems, industrial coatings, commercial roofing, and solar with Weather Shield's Max Life Roof Care, maintenance programs, and long-term roof investment protection, the companies say the new partnership will deliver an unparalleled range of solutions for clients.

"Hightower Industries has always been about providing expert roofing solutions with integrity and service," said Conner Hightower, President of Hightower Industries. "Joining forces with Weather Shield means we can now offer even more to our clients, while staying true to our mission and values. We're proud to be part of this growing team. This strategic partnership will also enable us to strengthen our presence and expand into new markets across Florida and Alabama, ensuring even more communities benefit from our trusted roofing solutions and dedicated service."

Both companies say their combined efforts will also boost safety, transparency, client service, and create supportive workplaces for employees. 

Clients of both Hightower Industries and Weather Shield Roofing Systems will continue working with their existing contacts and teams. Hightower Industries will continue to operate under its name as a Weather Shield company, maintaining consistency and relationships in the communities it serves.
