RCABC’s New RoofStar Vegetated Roof Guarantee Program
On November 1, 2024, RCABC launched the new RoofStar Vegetated Roof Guarantee program. It is first-of-its-kind in North America, providing a quality assurance program in partnership with green roof manufacturer warranties.
The program is built around the same core principles as the RoofStar Guarantee: objective standards, accepted materials, trained installers, independent observations, and RCABC membership. It will also include mandatory maintenance, which owners will pay for in advance of construction.
