We are proud to be part of the historical restoration of The Lodge at Saint Edward State Park in Kenmore, WA.

Walking across a blacktop parking lot on a sunny day can feel like the temperature just went up 20 degrees, because surface material has a lot to do with temperature. If you move from the blacktop to the grass and you can instantly feel the difference.

It’s the same with roofs. Dark roofs absorb light — up to 90% of solar energy — and convert it to heat, emitting it back into the atmosphere. White ones absorb less light by reflecting the light without transferring it into heat.

Saint Edward State Park’s singular feature is the Saint Edward Seminary, which is under restoration. The first phase of the renovation, which included a full restoration of the exterior façade including the roof, is now complete, thanks to Wayne’s Roofing, Inc.
