Baker Roofing Company, the Nation’s 3rd largest roofing contractor, provides commercial roofing and residential roofing services. Founded in 1915, Baker Roofing Company is recognized as an industry leader in professional roofing services.

When their Asheville team needed new office spaces, they tapped Cooper Construction Company to oversee the Mills River, NC project.

This project for Baker Roofing is significantly larger than their last office as it is 15,000 square feet. The building is comprised of 6,000 square feet of office space with the remaining area available for warehouse storage, equipping their team to support the Asheville, Henderson, and Greenville markets. 

Cooper Construction also performed HVAC services for Baker Roofing. The HVAC scope involved the installation of a mixed mechanical system that combines ductless mini-split technology with traditional ducted equipment. It featured Mitsubishi ductless heat pumps, including a 3-ton MXZ unit serving four indoor units (two cassette and two high wall-mounted) and a 4-ton PUMY unit with two cassette units, complete with condensate pumps.

Additionally, the scope included installation of two Trane packaged heat pumps (4-ton and 5-ton units), each with 15kW electric strip heaters for backup. To ensure proper airflow, 35 air distribution components, including louvers and backdraft dampers, were installed, along with four kitchen exhaust fans for ventilation and two Reznor natural gas unit heaters for supplemental heating.

This approach provided a comprehensive climate control solution, leveraging energy-efficient technology and targeted heating and ventilation.
