VENDOR SPOTLIGHT
Monster in the Mountains
Adam Quenneville Roofi ng and Siding Tackles
a 100,000-Square-Foot Roof at Jackson Gore Village [By Deborah O'Neill]
Owner Adam Quenneville was
onsite for the initial walk around
the property. " We were recommended
by a board member from
CAI New England, " says Quenneville.
" It's about trust because
we have 27 years of experience,
and we can handle big projects.
I have complete confi dence in
Steve Minkler and our crew to
pull off the most challenging jobs. "
Because of the height, access
road around the building, and
It took 63,666 shingles, 381,996 nails, 26,199 feet of
underlayment, 42 days, a million-dollar telescopic handler,
and 10 roofers from Adam Quenneville Roofi ng and
Siding to tackle a monster. It was the 100,000-squarefoot
roof at Jackson Gore Village, an Okemo Mountain
Resort in Ludlow, Vt.
Vice President of Operations Steven Minkler supervised
the Okemo project from start to fi nish. " The crew
was fascinated when they fi rst saw the size of the roof,
but we had a plan, " says Minkler. " We never bit off more
than we could chew. We replaced the roof in sections.
It was like roofi ng a large house a day for 42 days! "
After nearly two years of planning, GAF®
Master Elite
Contractor Adam Quenneville Roofi ng & Siding was
ready to replace the resort's 25-year-old original roof
with a Golden Pledge GAF®
Lifetime Roofi ng System.
The morning sky was cloudy above the snow-capped
mountains and the ground was frozen solid as the crew
of 10 prepared to replace 79,000 square feet of roofi ng
on the massive 100,000-square-foot roof. They also
had to cover 4,000 feet of fl at roofi ng with Duro-Last®
,
a superior single-ply PVC roof membrane.
When Project Manager Kevin Rodriguez fi rst saw
the roof at Okemo, he says it was absolutely intimidating.
" It was a giant-saurus roof, " he says with a laugh.
" Now I look back and I can honestly say that it wasn't
really that bad! "
other factors, Quenneville and Minkler decided to
rent a monster lift to get materials on and off the roof.
" We couldn't just let things fl y, " says Quenneville.
They rented a Magni RTH 6.30 Telescopic Handler
for $25,000 a month. It's a million-dollar piece of
equipment, only one in New England, with a rotating
telescopic fork that can lift 13,200 pounds up to 98 feet.
The Quenneville company was founded in 1996 and
it is known for commercial and residential roofi ng and
siding, full envelope projects for commercial properties
throughout New England, Flat Roofi ng, plus Roof Maxx®
and Roof Shampoo®
. They specialize in large roofs and
multi-unit projects.
Adam Quenneville Roofi ng & Siding has maintained
the status of GAF®
Duro-Last®
Master Elite Contractor and
Master Contractor for more than 20 years.
The Okemo project included GAF's unmatched Golden
Pledge®
Ltd. Warranty, Duro-Last's Best-in-Class
Warranty, and Quenneville's Workmanship Guarantee.
There were eight guys on the roof, and two on the
ground. " We were pumped, ready to go, and two hours
into it on the fi rst day, a snowstorm blasted over the
mountain and turned the roof slopes into ski slopes, "
explains Steve. " We were 60 feet off the ground and
once the wind picked up, we had to get down. There was
nothing about snow in the forecast. It made me think
that this job might not go as smoothly as planned. "
