Established in 2011, each year the Carlisle Perfection Award honors professional roofing companies who demonstrate a commitment to perfection and quality in every installation of Carlisle roofing products.

The award evaluates installation quality as observed by the number of projects, square footage of roofing membrane installed over a seven-year period, and the rate and amount of any warranty claims.

Ranking among the top 5% of all U.S. and Canadian applicators, Tri-State was selected for this recognition by Carlisle.

Carlisle SynTec Systems is a diversified manufacturer and supplier of high-performance, single-ply roofing solutions including EPDM, TPO, PVC, and metal.

Since 2014, the mission of National Safety Week has been to advocate for improved safety processes, mental health resources, and equipment standards that reduce the risk of injury and create a safer environment for workers.

It’s a perfect time to recognize our CAWV safety award recipients.

With over 500 members, the Contractor’s Association of West Virginia is a full-service trade association representing West Virginia’s building, highway and utility construction industries. The association recognized two Tri-State Roofing & Sheet Metal Company divisions for safety excellence in the workplace in 2024. The awards were presented at the recent CAWV State Meeting held in conjunction with the Construction & Design EXPO at the Charleston Civic Center.

The “CAWV 2024 Safety Achievement Award – Industrial Division” was awarded to Tri-State of Parkersburg, W. Va. The “CAWV 2022 Safety Achievement Award – Building Division” went to Tri-State of Charleston, W. Va.

CAWV scores contractors participating in the program on their documented safety policies and procedures, commitment and approach to safety and health, and recorded statistical data for the year. Special attention is given to the quality of safety training provided to employees and members who demand active employee involvement in their safety process.

Tri-State works continuously to improve safety performance–evaluating and refining processes daily–with a zero injury and illness goal through their comprehensive safety program, “Working. Safe.”

Anything out of metal– Yes, we can make that: ADA-compliant railings for ramps, stairs, and walkways.

Our team recently fabricated an ADA-compliant railing solution for a local school system in partnership with the general contractor.

The project included 100 linear feet of three-bar rails for a handicap ramp, along with additional sections for the entrance stairs.

Constructed from 1-1/2-inch diameter low-carbon steel, the structure features sturdy 6-inch x 9-inch x ½-inch drilled support bases for secure installation on concrete. To ensure long-lasting durability, all components were finished with a high-quality powder coating, providing excellent resistance to the elements.

Our group can work with your business, institution, or industry to fabricate custom metal products that improve access, safety, and processes. We collaborate to provide just the services needed including design, layout, measuring, fabrication, and/or installation as required.

Charleston division completes comprehensive exterior renovation of WVU Medicine Thomas Hospitals Pediatric Center.


Tri-State collaborated with WVU Medicine’s design team to execute a comprehensive exterior renovation of the WVU Medicine Thomas Hospitals Pediatric Center, modernizing the building envelope and transforming its appearance.

Our team replaced the original 3,500 sq. ft. faded red standing seam metal on the sloped roof areas with a new high-performance 24 ga. metal panel system in “Award Blue.” On the 4,500 sq. ft. low-slope areas, a 60 mil. EPDM system with upgraded tapered polyiso insulation ensures water-tight, energy-efficient performance.

Color-matched soffit and radius siding panels complement the sloped metal roof and complete the exterior transformation.

Tri-State has extensive experience working in sensitive areas like this fully operational medical facility, coordinating and communicating with other trades to minimize disruptions to building occupants and other contractors.

Tri-State planned and executed the project safely according to our “Working. Safe.” protocols including proper fall protection systems, scaffolding, and a secure perimeter.

Here’s to another year of great partnerships.

As the year draws to a close, we want to thank you for partnership. 2025 will mark 102 years of working with great clients like you.

We are always looking for the best ways to solve problems for building owners and property managers, providing quality roofing, sheet metal, and mechanical contracting services.

Here’s what some of our clients had to say in 2024:

“The service that is provided from Tri-State is top notch. The industry we are in and the regulatory compliance that we work under creates an immensely complex environment. We are regulated by federal US government agencies, as well as some global regulatory agencies which in turn makes this a unique site to work in. With the professionalism and experience that your staff has makes them well suited to execute services for us. I’m not aware of any other contractors that could provide the level of service in the environment we are in. This makes them a valuable service provider to our network. Our site is part of a network that provides important medications to patients on a global level, and we consider the staff at Tri-State a part of the delivery to the patients. ” – Supervisor, Maintenance

Tri-State installs new copper roof on historic Ohio basilica.


We are proud to share this progress photo of The Basilica of Saint Mary of the Assumption in Marietta, Ohio.

Completed in 1909 as St. Mary Catholic Church, it was decreed the 76th basilica in the United States in 2013 in recognition of its historic significance and artistic splendor.

Experienced with the special challenges and responsibility of re-roofing and repairing treasured historic buildings, Tri-State was chosen to replace the 1992 asphalt shingle roof installation with a beautiful copper roof and built-in gutters.

Schedule a fall roof inspection and avoid that “would-a, could-a, should-a” feeling.

Have you scheduled your fall roof inspection? When you schedule an inspection rather than react to leaks, you can avoid more complicated repairs and higher costs.

Tough weather conditions have punished your roof all summer. Let us give your roof a thorough inspection to see how it fared, and how well it’s set up to endure winter’s weather extremes. You can avoid a possible “would-a, could-a, should-a” feeling.

Knowledge is the antidote to fear. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

There may be very small issues that will be unnoticed unless ignored. These can be caught and remedied while our technicians are on site, saving additional service calls for issues that will eventually make themselves apparent. We will clear the roof and drains of debris, locate signs of weakness, and perform minor repairs.

Waiting to discover leaks until they have grown, expanded, and caused damage to a greater area and more system components is always more expensive in the long run.

Knowledge itself is power. – Francis Bacon

Following a fall roof inspection, you will be armed with knowledge about your system. This provides the peace of mind that comes with knowing the condition of your roof, an outlook on its long-term performance potential, and the ability to plan for the timing of an eventual repair, restoration, or replacement.

Call the office nearest you to schedule a fall commercial roof inspection.

Our HVAC divisions can help with a fall HVAC/mechanical inspection.

Anything out of metal – Yes, we can make that: chutes

Our group fabricated this custom chute for an industrial client.

The piece measures approximately 32” x 20” x 15” and is built using 16 ga. 304 stainless steel.

It will be installed to assist with material handling as part of a manufacturing process. The piece has stainless dowel rods within the input area to control material flow and a reservoir to collect overflow. The long portion of the chute is removable through built-in side clamps.

We work with area manufacturers to fabricate metal products like this one to improve processes, safety, material handling, and access.
