A.D. Willis Company leads the way in green roof technology.

A.D. Willis Company has completed the design, coordination and installation of a 1,200-square-foot green roof at a home in the Lake Austin Estates Community west of downtown Austin. "We've been involved in several green roof projects in the Austin area, but this is the first one we've taken from start to finish," says Charlie Glaze, A.D. Willis Company marketing and production manager. "It will not only provide our client with a beautiful outdoor living space, but the green roof will also promote energy savings and a positive impact on the environment."

Green roofs have been found to support the environment by:

- Reducing energy costs

- Reducing storm water run-off

- Reducing the heat island effect

- Extending the life of the roof's waterproofing membrane, protecting it from extreme temperatures, hail, foot traffic, and direct sunlight

A.D. Willis Company specializes in this creative form of outdoor advertising

The A.D. Willis Company billboard on I-35 in San Marcos, Texas is an example of outdoor advertising - a medium that gives a business round-the-clock exposure. It's a great way to get your name out there and keep it out there. Today there are many creative forms of outdoor advertising, but maybe none more so than rooftop logos.

This is a specialty of A.D. Willis Company, and you may be familiar with some of the rooftop logos that we've fabricated and applied: the AT&T Center in San Antonio, the AT&T Performing Arts Center in Dallas, the Toyota Center in Houston, and the FedEx Forum in Memphis.

We not only take pride in producing a quality logo that stands the test of time, we work closely with the manufacturer of the existing roof system to make sure the logo material and installation meet their standards to keep the manufacturer's warranty valid.
