Naples Roofers Awarded Historic Collier County Site Project

June 18, 2012 - PRLog -- "…History and legend, weaves its story across a glittering landscape of sun-warmed beaches, ancient cypress forests, and the sprawling grasslands of the Florida Everglades," begins the overture of Collier County Museums. Immokalee Pioneer Museum at Roberts Ranch located at 1215 Roberts Avenue, Immokalee, FL, is one facet of that historical narrative. Twenty historic structures tell the story of pioneer families, ranching, farming and cultivating untamed areas at the edge of the Big Cypress Swamp.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The Immokalee Pioneer Museum at Roberts Ranch is dedicated to preserving and presenting the past. In an effort to accurately and judiciously conserve the museum's historic buildings, Collier County Roofing, based in Naples, has recently been awarded the contract to replace the metal roof on the Main Barn. The project is slated to begin later this month and should be completed by the end of July 2012.

"Carefully preserving the original buildings of the ranch is of highest priority. It helps in accurately retelling the story of the ranchers and pioneer-spirited families who settled our state," explains Scott Otey. "Collier County Roofing is very pleased to be part of conserving our American past."

Collier County Roofing will be installing a new metal roof (http://colliercountyroofing.com/Metal_Roofs.php), resembling the original roof in shape and color, on the Main Barn of the museum. The new metal roof will be a 26 gage Galvalume 5-CV Crimp metal roof system. GALVALUME®, a trademark of BIEC International Inc., is 55% Aluminum-Zinc alloy coated sheet steel that provides durability in humid, salty environments which is greater than typical galvanized steel. The quality and superior corrosion resistance of the new Galvalume roof will ensure that the exhibits and visitors to the Main Barn, will be safe and dry for years to come.
