ECOROOF BENEFITS MAINTENANCE AS LIVING SPACE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Stoller Family Estate Greenroof on Tasting Room
Manning Design + Construction is a Portland, Oregon based general contractor specializing in green roof (ecoroof) installation and construction with over 150 completed residential, commercial and multi-family green roofs. Our 'Ecoroofs Oregon' division offers year round maintenance of extensive and intensive green roof installations for a variety of multi-family residential buildings, commercial buildings, institutions and residences throughout Portland, Oregon.
Green Roofs are a versatile, vegetated roofing system that replace conventional roofs with living, breathing ecosystems that mitigate storm-water runoff, conserve energy by reducing heating and cooling costs and provide habitat for native plants, birds and insects. Green roofs also help cool urban heat islands, reduce pollution and carbon emissions and reduce harmful storm-water runoff to help preserve fish habitat. Green roofs also provide additional green space in dense urban environments like Portland.
Green roofs have been increasing in popularity throughout Portland due in part to the City of Portlands' Ecoroof incentive program that ran from 2008-2012. As early pioneers in the green roof movement we worked with the city and our clients to install green roofs systems in dozens of Portland neighborhoods and other outlying areas of the city.
Like other rooftop contracting projects, green roofs increase structural loads and are subject to increased code requirements. With our decades of construction and contracting experience in the Portland, Oregon region we can help you navigate the complexities of building codes, safety requirements, and structural load capacity regulations. We can manage individual project needs from conception and design to construction and maintenance.
If you have a green roof (ecoroof) or other rooftop development or maintenance project, or just want to see how you can better utilize your rooftop space in the Portland metro area (including Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington Counties and beyond), contact us to discover how we can help you save time and money.
