Between April and October 2013, the iconic Cobo Center in downtown Detroit — a massive convention and exhibition center that’s home to the North American International Auto Show — underwent a 200,000-square-foot roof replacement as part of a $229 million renovation. This was a far cry from the average commercial roofing project, and it required just the right contractor and materials to get the job done.
The re-roof was awarded to Schreiber Corporation. Founded in Detroit in 1916, the privately owned company specializes in commercial, industrial and automotive roofing projects throughout the United States and Canada. “We competitively bid this project against other local contractors and were fortunate enough to have the best price going in,” Senior Project Manager Rich Gagnon explained. “It was an advertised project, and we were fortunate to have been included in the invitation process.”
