JUNE 2021CONSTRUCTIONBUSINESSREVIEW.COM 19The One-Stop-Shop for Commercial Roofing ServicesACS provides a whole range of commercial roofing services, including coating, maintenance, and waterproofing of roofs. Besides, they also undertake commercial roof construction or renovation projects with roofing materials like TPO single-ply roofs and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). "There are not many businesses out there doing roof construction as well as maintenance services. We are doing both, and indeed, doing both well," says Jason Rittenbach, a former marine and the president of ACS.To ensure superior quality of the services, the company has a pool of certified experts in the fields of roofing and construction to implement the industry's best practices in construction, maintenance, and renovation. The company also leverages the most durable and advanced roofing solutions available in the market today by associating with the leading manufacturers and premium brands in the space, such as Firestone, GE, Tremco, National Coatings, and Astec. While working with such a broad portfolio of top-end products and manufacturers, Rittenbach asserts that they never try to push a specific product or manufacturer to their customers. "We always want to do what's right for the customer and cater to their specific needs, be it budget, time, warranty, or any other unique challenge that they face," states Rittenbach. To elaborate, Rittenbach says, let's assume that the consumer has a budget constraint, then the team at ACS effectively brings down the roofing costs by considering different options in hand. Alternatively, ACS can speed up the implementation process and shrink cost by using roof coating membranes instead of comparatively expensive and labor-intensive Single-Plies. "We listen to the customer, figure out what their parameters are, and then educate them on solutions concerning what they're looking for," he adds.This unique value proposition of ACS's client-centric approach can be reflected best through another client success story. A courthouse in Oakland was facing an issue with its old roofing system, and it presented a critical risk for the occupants and equipment inside the building. They were planning to tear it off and get another warranted roof. ACS instead found a simpler--and more efficient--solution for them. ACS went with a two-part roof coating system, which cured quickly and offered another 20-year roofing warranty. Moreover, ACS achieved it with zero downtime. It was an active courthouse, and quite remarkably, the whole procedure was completed without causing any noise or disruption to the court proceedings!Backed by such client interesting success stories, today, ACS has been able to carve a niche for itself in the domain, and Rittenbach iterates that his service under the Marine Corps has equally helped the company in this growth journey. "It's the principles that I have learned while serving under the Marine Corps, like integrity and hard work, which I apply into the business. And it's because we do what's best for our customers that we have been able to reach where we are today," mentions Rittenbach. Indeed, riding on the coattails of such competencies, ACS has become one of the largest veteran-owned firms in California and the second-largest veteran-owned company in the Bay Area. Presently, ACS is looking forward to expanding its services areas to Oregon and Nevada as well. The company is also looking out to leverage leading-edge technologies to support its endeavor. In that regard, they are developing a software that can impart information and knowledge on roofing systems to their customers. To top it all, ACS is playing a phenomenal role in the sector to reduce the carbon footprint by spurring the implementation of more sustainable and renewable roofing solutions. ACS is a roofing services provider with more than two decades of expertise in providing reputable, affordable, and sustainable commercial roofing services
