"We were one of the first ones in Waco to use the Duro-Last Roof system, and now we have it on all of our schools but one. It is an excellent product. We have never had a leak due to material failure. Parsons Roofing always responds immediately to any concerns we have."
- Don Taylor, Director of Operations (Retired), Midway ISD

“I chose Parsons Roofing because the quality of their work is good and they are very competitive with their prices. We are satisfied with our roofs; we haven’t had any leaks since they completed the job. They were as good as they could be to make us satisfied. Parsons Roofing is by far one of the best contractors I have worked with. This is the first time we’ve used Duro-Last and we would like to use it again on our future projects. The whole Tindle family was extremely helpful and I appreciate everything they did for me. I would highly recommend Parsons Roofing.”

The Texas Procurement and Support Services (TPASS) has established, as an alternative purchasing method, the use of Texas multiple award schedule (TXMAS) contracts that have been developed from contracts that have been competitively awarded by the federal government or any other governmental entity of any state. As the responsible federal entity, the General Services Administration's (GSA) Federal Supply Service awards Federal Supply Schedule contracts by competitive procurement procedures for more than 50 schedules that cover multiple commodities and services. The prices reflected on GSA schedule contracts are the most favored customer (MFC) prices and the maximum price allowable. TXMAS contracts take advantage of the MFC pricing and under certain circumstances, an agency or local government entity, may negotiate a lower price for the goods or services offered on a schedule contract. A "best value" purchase can be made by following the TXMAS purchasing procedures.
In August 2008, Houston has enforced a new building code on all low sloped buildings. A low slope is defined as a pitch of 2 to 12 or less. The new law requires that you must have:
A membrane reflectivity of 70% or higher AND
75% emissivity or higher
The Duro-Last Roofing System that Parsons Roofing installs meets all of your energy code requirements. The Duro-Last reflectivity ranges from 88-89% reflectivity and 95% emissivity. We are considered the most reliable and durable roof around. Exceed all your energy code requirements by purchasing a Duro-Last Roof from Parsons Roofing!!!
