1. Best Buy Metal Roofing National: This is one of the roof structure contractors. The goal of these contractors is to make the building safe for people to use every day. The Downtown Buffalo train station went out of service because of the strong winds which collapsed the roof so that’s something to take account of when building the terminal.
2. Gregg's Waterproofing & Concrete Inc/ Dura Tech Basement Waterproofing: Buffalo is known to have a lot of snowfall/heavy winds every year so contractors involving waterproofing/leaking is important. Every year, Buffalo gets over 90 inches of snowfall during the winter months.
3. GPI/ Greenman - Pedersen- “Greenman-Pedersen, Inc. has been providing full-service professional engineering in Fredonia and Jamestown for more than a decade.
