The year 2003 marks the silver anniversary of Duro-Last Roofing Inc., Saginaw, Mich.
The company’s history began in the mid-1970s when founder John R. Burt came up with an inspiration. Burt, who then owned a swimming pool liner business, realized that if a vinyl liner kept water inside a swimming pool, it could keep water out, as well. From that simple premise, the Duro-Last roofing system was created in 1978. During the ensuing 25 years, Duro-Last has been the pioneer and largest manufacturer of custom prefabricated single-ply roofing systems.
