Denton County Juvenile Center 

Working within the Denton County Juvenile Center is not an easy task.  Communication between construction crews, project management, and facility personnel is key to the success of the project. Coordination between Progressive Roofing and facility staff was in real-time in order to allow a smooth transition of children from one location to another.  

Progressive Roofing performs 99% of all work which sets them apart from other contractors. Moreover, all workers are e-verified making Progressive Roofing a perfect match for high-security settings.  

The project consisted of; McElroy metal-over-metal roof recover system (retrofit), 2” eps flu fill with 16” 238t standing seam panels in metallic silver. 

“Progressive Roofing handled this project with the utmost diligence….stellar job” – Nathan Mcquillan, Lead Architect 

“This was a difficult project. Yet, each member of the [Progressive Roofing] crew took ownership of their job.” – Matt Marick, Assistant Director of Juvenile Probation for Denton County.
