Source smarter, roof faster

By Jesse Sanchez. 

A single source for prefabricated single-ply roofing accessories can help contractors simplify ordering, reduce delays and keep projects moving. 

For commercial roofing contractors, delays in sourcing accessories can quickly affect schedules, crew productivity and profitability. FlashCo’s Edge program is designed to simplify that process by giving contractors one point of contact for single-ply roofing accessories used on No Dollar Limit (NDL) and non-NDL projects. 

Single-ply systems require numerous components, including flashings, vents, drains, scuppers, edge metal systems, curbs, corners, sealant pockets, roof anchors and other specialty accessories. Rather than coordinating with multiple vendors, contractors can work with FlashCo to source standard, made-to-order and fully customized products. 

FlashCo also works with major roofing manufacturers and distributors. On warranty projects, the company coordinates directly with those organizations to help ensure the appropriate accessories are specified and delivered. 

The program’s focus extends beyond ordering. Prefabricated accessories arrive ready for installation, reducing the need for crews to fabricate components in the field. This approach can help contractors improve consistency, spend less time completing accessory work and move projects toward completion more efficiently. 

Lead times are another important consideration. FlashCo reports that its network of manufacturing locations allows 90% of orders to be delivered within one to three days. Faster delivery can be especially valuable for reroofing projects, service work, and jobs with tight completion schedules. 

Since 2016, FlashCo has also placed manufacturer logos on parts shipped from its facilities. This identification provides installers with added confidence that they have received components intended for the roofing system being installed. 

By combining accessory expertise, manufacturer relationships, prefabricated products and fast turnaround times, FlashCo Edge helps remove friction from the procurement process. Contractors can spend less time tracking down components and more time focused on installation, productivity and project completion.
