Roof Replacement

As the main contractor for this high-end residential project, ACT was responsible for carrying out extensive structural modifications. Initially, only minor roofing work was planned, but our investigations revealed severe deterioration, requiring a full roof replacement. This unexpected challenge allowed us to enhance the property with premium materials and modern features, ensuring long-term durability, sustainability and aesthetic appeal.
