Commercial Roofing in
Battle Creek and Kalamazoo, Michigan

Yes. Southwest Michigan is covered from Bloom's Albion base, which sits inside this zone on I-94 and I-69. Work here concentrates on food and consumer goods plants, distribution buildings and institutional roofs across Calhoun, Kalamazoo, Van Buren, St. Joseph and Branch counties.

At Bloom's Albion base, which is inside this zone rather than beside it. Albion sits on I-94 between Battle Creek and Jackson, so crews and stocked service trucks reach Kalamazoo, Portage, Marshall, Coldwater and Sturgis from within the region.

Call 800-483-9932 at any hour and ask for emergency service. The Albion team is dispatched to southwest Michigan and gives you a realistic arrival window based on weather, access and the nature of the failure. Food plants usually need a sanitation escort arranged alongside the call.

Written answers to five things, all of which your auditor will eventually care about. A foreign material control plan naming how penetrations are closed at end of shift and how debris is contained. An exposure map showing which membrane goes where and why, given your stacks and washdown chemistry. A phasing plan tied to your production calendar, including which work happens on off hours. Daily close-out photographs kept as a record. And confirmation of who employs the crew, because badging and hygiene expectations do not survive a rotating subcontractor. Put all five to Bloom.

Often PVC, and the reason is chemistry rather than preference. PVC resists most chemicals including oils and grease and performs under ponding, which makes it the right answer around fryer, cooking and dishwashing exhaust. TPO resists many chemicals but not acids, greases or oils. EPDM has limited resistance to acids, grease and animal or vegetable oils, and is generally kept out of contact with asphaltic materials. The right choice depends on what is actually on the roof, which is why exposure mapping precedes any recommendation.

Often, with a protection plan agreed in advance. At Kraft's Kendallville plant, six roof areas totaling more than 100,000 square feet were replaced with a custom fully adhered PVC system, some of it directly above active food manufacturing, using added interior protection and late-hour scheduling, and the work was completed without disruption to day-to-day operations. What makes that work is deciding in advance which areas are opened, how the ceiling below is protected, when the loud and odorous phases run, and what condition every penetration is left in at the end of each shift. That gets priced as scope.
