AACON preserved the existing pavers, reinstalling them after completion of the EPDM roofing system. AACON was also able to unclog multiple roof top drains that had posed a problem for many years despite the efforts of multiple contractors. AACON worked through many weather delays to bring the project in on time and was recognized by the client multiple times for overcoming this challenge.
