Darin S., is a Senior VP of Engineering at a hospitality real estate investment company. Throughout his career, he’s seen just how important it is to work with a fluid-applied experts for restoration projects.

White Hat vs. Other Contractors 

When asked how he would describe his experience working with an expert who only does fluid-applied, like White Hat Industrial, versus working with a contractor who only installs these types of systems on the side, Darin said:

WORKING WITH WHITE HAT INDUSTRIAL

“Confident. I feel confident working with White Hat Industrial because I know I don’t have to worry about the outcome. The high-quality solutions and processes they use allow for superior outcomes.”

WORKING WITH OTHER CONTRACTORS

“Skeptical. I feel skeptical working with other contractors who say they ‘do fluid-applied’ because there’s often a lack of knowledge and intentionality, which leads to inferior outcomes.”

He continued to share the difference in experience when working with White Hat Industrial versus other contractors from start to completion, and beyond.

“My first time working with White Hat Industrial was my first time using fluid-applied systems, and the experience was great. From the beginning, as someone with no prior knowledge about fluid-applied roofing and restoration, their team explained every step. There is no doubt that they are educational experts in the industry. At each project stage, they made sure I knew what was happening, how it was happening, and when it was happening. I was always aware of what was going on and provided visuals throughout the entire process. Everything was very transparent and everyone prioritized communication. Then when the project was finished, we walked through it together and it was just a very smooth ending to a smooth project with minimal disruptions.

On the other hand, I’ve also seen what it’s like to work with a contractor who ‘does fluid-applied’ but isn’t an expert. You don’t get the answers, prep, or communication necessary, leaving you to wonder what they’re even doing on your roof. The experience lacks intentionality entirely.

Working with the fluid-applied experts at White Hat Industrial versus another contractor is truly a night and day difference. With their strong educational knowledge, intentional communication, superior systems, exceptional workmanship and expertise, you won’t be disappointed. And if you choose to work with someone else, you will soon see that you get what you pay for when working with a non-industry expert.”

Experience with White Hat Industrial

Working in the hospitality industry, Darin mentioned how important guest experience is and how critical it can be to complete large-scale projects seamlessly, sometimes without guests even knowing they’re happening.

“Hospitality is all about the guest experience, which makes it super important to maintain minimal disruptions during large-scale projects. It’s great when you find a high-performing and cost-effective solution from an expert partner who can complete things without guests knowing a major project is happening.”

When asked if he would recommend White Hat Industrial to anyone considering fluid-applied systems and roof restoration, Darin said,

“100% I would recommend White Hat Industrial, and I plan to. Their product, processes, minimal disruption, cost-effective options, and comprehensive warranties make it an easy choice. The end outcome is always high-performing and clean.

In the world, we take fluid-applied roofing from the past as a ‘bad thing,’ but the technology has advanced and White Hat Industrial has great systems, processes, and people to offer you a better experience and outcome. And if you’re still not sure, go see a roof they’ve completed, get the educational knowledge from them, and explore this option for your properties. But remember, not all contractors are equal. A company like White Hat Industrial who does fluid-applied and restoration 100% of the time will always provide better outcomes than a company who only does fluid-applied and restoration part-of-the-time. Simply work with the expert you know you can trust.”
