Springfield Commercial Roofing has built its reputation one roof at a time across Northern and Central Michigan. In 2011, that commitment to quality workmanship and customer satisfaction earned the company its first major industry recognition from one of the most respected names in commercial roofing: Duro-Last.
The Recognition
During Duro-Last’s National Sales Seminar held in Orlando, Florida in early 2011, Springfield Commercial Roofing of Kingsley, Michigan was formally welcomed into the Duro-Last Admirals Club. The honor is awarded to contractors who demonstrate outstanding sales achievement, quality workmanship, and a consistent record of customer satisfaction.
Duro-Last Chairman of the Board Jack Burt spoke directly to what the recognition represents:
“Since our beginning, Duro-Last has valued the relationships we have with independent roofing companies. Our sustained growth and success in the single-ply thermoplastic roofing market can be attributed to the high-quality workmanship, professionalism, and integrity of our dealer network. We are very fortunate to have Springfield Commercial Roofing as an authorized Duro-Last contractor.”
What It Means to Work With a Certified Duro-Last Contractor in Michigan
For commercial building owners in Michigan, working with a certified Duro-Last contractor is about more than just material selection. It is about accountability, installation quality, and warranty protection.
Duro-Last authorizes a select network of contractors who have demonstrated the training, skill, and track record required to install their roofing systems correctly. When you work with an authorized installer like Springfield, you benefit from several important protections that are not available through uncertified contractors.
Manufacturer-backed warranty coverage. Duro-Last warranties are only available through authorized contractors. A warranty issued through a certified installer is backed directly by the manufacturer. It provides a level of protection that goes well beyond a standard contractor workmanship guarantee.
Proper installation training. Duro-Last systems are custom-fabricated and require specific installation knowledge to perform as designed. Certified contractors receive ongoing training directly from the manufacturer, ensuring the system is installed to the standards required for the warranty to remain valid.
Contractor accountability. Being part of the Duro-Last dealer network means Springfield’s work is held to a standard that is monitored and recognized by the manufacturer. The Admirals Club recognition itself is evidence of that accountability in action.
About the Duro-Last Roofing System
Duro-Last is a Saginaw, Michigan based manufacturer and one of the most widely recognized names in commercial flat roofing. Since 1978, Duro-Last has produced a custom-fabricated, thermoplastic single-ply roofing system designed for flat and low-slope commercial and industrial buildings.
The Duro-Last system is known for being energy-efficient, highly durable, leak-resistant, and virtually maintenance-free. It is also resistant to chemicals, fire, punctures, and high winds, making it well suited to Michigan’s demanding climate conditions. At the end of its lifespan, the membrane can be recycled, reducing landfill waste and supporting sustainable building practices.
The Beginning of a Long Track Record
The 2011 Admirals Club recognition marked the beginning of a long and ongoing relationship between Springfield and Duro-Last. In the years since, Springfield has continued to build on that foundation, earning additional recognition from Duro-Last for installation quality and contractor performance across Northern and Central Michigan.
This first award was not a milestone in isolation. It was the start of a consistent pattern of excellence that Springfield has maintained and built upon ever since. You can view Springfield’s full list of awards and certifications on our Awards and Certifications page.
