Greenwood Industries donates new roof to Family Promise Metrowest Center, enhancing safe shelter for local families

HM WP — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 14:52:05 +0000

WORCESTER, MA (June 11, 2025) — Greenwood Industries, the Northeast’s leading provider of commercial roofing and building envelope solutions, has generously donated and installed a new roof for the Family Promise Metrowest Center. This pro bono project—covering all materials and labor—was made possible in part thanks to donated materials from QXO, Inc. (NASDAQ: QXO), and reflects Greenwood’s commitment to community partnership and support for families experiencing homelessness.

Family Promise Metrowest serves families with children who are homeless or at risk of homelessness by providing shelter, education, and comprehensive support. The organization focuses on low- and moderate-income Massachusetts residents, prioritizing those from the Metrowest region. Families of all compositions and genders are welcomed.

Prior to the renovation, the Center’s roof was severely deteriorated and structurally compromised. These conditions disrupted daily operations, hindered family meetings, and affected collaboration with community partners. A secure and well-maintained facility is vital to delivering the safe, respectful environment Family Promise Metrowest strives to provide.

With a new roof in place, the organization is now positioned to expand in-person workshops, strengthen partnerships, and engage more volunteers. The upgrade ensures that the Center remains a professional, welcoming space—one that reflects the dignity every family deserves.

“Greenwood Industries didn’t just replace a roof—they reinforced the foundation of our mission,” said Danielle Conti, Executive Director of Family Promise Metrowest. “Their generosity and partnership reflect a shared belief that every family deserves dignity, safety, and a place to grow. When businesses step up like this, they don’t just improve buildings—they strengthen entire communities.”

Celebrating Preservation Month with Greenwood’s Building Envelope Expertise

HM WP — Tue, 27 May 2025 20:31:04 +0000

ay is Preservation Month, a time when the National Trust for Historic Preservation celebrates our nation’s architectural and cultural heritage. What began as Preservation Week in 1973 grew into a month-long observance in 2005, offering an opportunity to honor the unique character of historic places and highlight the critical role of historic preservation in strengthening communities, bolstering local economies, and promoting environmental sustainability through adaptive reuse.

For Greenwood, historic preservation is more than a tradition—it’s our passion. Over the years, we’ve restored some of New England’s most cherished landmarks, from the Massachusetts State House to local museums, churches, and private residences. Through our partnership with TWC Phoenix, we now combine best-in-class roofing and waterproofing expertise with our deep masonry heritage to protect and maintain the entire building envelope.

One recent example is the clock tower restoration at Marlborough City Hall. In addition to structural masonry repairs—cutting, repointing, and protective coating—our craftsmen addressed a small but vital detail: the tower bell was no longer ringing clearly. A precise adjustment restored its full, resonant tone, just as it sounded a century ago. That attention to detail is what keeps New England’s historic main streets vibrant and alive.

Across the region, our team has preserved government buildings, monuments, cemeteries, residences, and more. Whether it’s a delicate masonry repair, a comprehensive roofing and waterproofing solution, or a full restoration of a historic façade, our experts share a true passion for craftsmanship that “stands the test of time.”

If you own a historic property in need of building envelope maintenance or restoration, Greenwood and TWC Phoenix are ready to bring our decades of experience—and our dedication to historic preservation—to your project. Contact us today to learn how we can help safeguard your piece of history.

Avoid Voiding Your Roof Warranty: Why Maintenance Matters

HM WP — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 19:43:44 +0000

Your commercial roof includes a warranty that safeguards your investment—but it’s crucial to understand the terms and conditions. Just as a car warranty won’t cover damage if you neglect oil changes, a roof warranty also requires basic maintenance to remain valid. Additionally, there may be situations that your warranty might not cover at all.

Inspections Are Key
Most commercial roof warranties require regular inspections—some even mandate the timing. For example, an annual or semi-annual inspection may need to take place in the spring to assess any damage from winter weather. These inspections are common sense: they help identify potential issues early, extend the life of your roofing system, and ensure your building remains protected.

Don’t Overlook the Fine Print
Some warranty requirements are more subtle. For example, areas with high foot traffic may need to be equipped with walk pads. Without them, repeated foot traffic can damage the membrane. Walk pads not only preserve your roof system but also enhance safety for anyone accessing the roof.

Know the Limits of Coverage
Roof warranties also have limitations. For example, most warranties depend on your roof being designed for a specific wind speed—let’s say 80 MPH. If your building is in an area prone to hurricane-force winds, you may need a higher-spec system to stay protected under warranty.

In addition, many warranties do not cover damage caused by:

Rodents
Hail
Acids or hazardous chemicals
Unauthorized repairs or alterations

Maintenance Matters
Most warranties include a care and maintenance guide, but your facility team may not always be adequately equipped to follow it properly. That’s where a qualified service and maintenance partner comes in. By collaborating with a dedicated commercial roofing maintenance team, you can ensure warranty compliance and extend the life of your roof.

Your warranty is extremely valuable—but only if you adhere to the maintenance requirements. We’re here to assist you. If you have questions about your roof warranty or wish to schedule an inspection or service, click here to get in touch with us.

Syracuse Names David Klein to iSchool Board

Syracuse University named Greenwood CEO David Klein to the iSchool Board of Advisors. David Klein is a proud Syracuse alum and credits the iSchool’s precursor with helping him be pro-active. “It allowed me to think about what’s going to happen and not what is happening. Which has served me well. A lot of people think construction isn’t necessarily technology driven or forward thinking, but exactly the opposite is true.” David is passionate about giving back to Syracuse, in addition to this role he and his wife Elizabeth founded the George Klein Endowed Scholarship for Worcester area Syracuse students.

The Ragon Institute: A Beautiful Example of Green Roofs and Sustainability

HM WP — Wed, 05 Mar 2025 16:45:12 +0000

The Ragon Institute, a collaborative effort between Mass General Brigham, MIT, and Harvard, is dedicated to advancing medical research into immune system diseases, particularly HIV/AIDS. Its newly opened headquarters in Cambridge, MA, exemplifies innovation and sustainability—and features a remarkable green roof expertly installed by Greenwood Industries.

This state-of-the-art building is LEED Gold Certified and designed with a strong focus on environmental sustainability. The roof is a standout feature, incorporating advanced blue roof systems for water retention and management, alongside energy-efficient materials and a lush, striking green roof.

The roof itself is an architectural marvel. Spanning 24,700 square feet, it is installed on a Versico Roof System and features a dramatic slope with significant elevation changes between its highest and lowest points. The green roof blankets the entire incline, creating the effect of a verdant, man-made hill in the heart of Kendall Square. Such a large and complex green roof installation, particularly on a sloped design, presented unique challenges.

Greenwood Industries’ expertise and commitment to quality ensured the seamless installation of this vibrant, thriving green roof, and the results are a testament to the skill and dedication of our team.
