There was nothing “little” about the Little Gasparilla Island project. Quality Roofing helped more than 30 residents after Hurricane Ian destroyed numerous roofs. The logistical complexities proved humbling: trees and debris left behind, no electricity for weeks and many companies lacked the capability to get on the island due to transportation restrictions. Quality Roofing succeeded in moving materials onto the island by barge. Loads of standing seam had to be ordered and tear-off and dry-in required a couple of trips to the island. When the standing seam arrived, QRI crews had to fabricate the panels and deliver them to the island for installation. Overall, a very complicated project but Quality Roofing was up for the challenge.
