Professional Roofing: What is the most unusual roofing
project you've performed?
Dunlap: Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa, Asheville, N.C. Two tile
experts and eight to 10 crew members replaced 400,000 original clay

the new roof system exactly matched the original. The clay tiles
weighed more than 1 million pounds (450000 kg), and 26 miles (42
km) of wood battens were used. The project required extensive fall
protection for the crew members and consideration of the resort

camaraderie among employees from throughout...
