Industrial Services Enterprises is proud to introduce LIFTEX, our subsidiary company focused on transforming and elevating commercial properties, making them more attractive in the marketplace and increasing their utilization. Formerly known as EZ-Riser Roof Raising, the change to LIFTEX signifies a new chapter in our mission to adapt and grow the commercial real estate landscape into something more dynamic, useful, and sustainable.
The roof lifting industry has always been about helping businesses and property owners get more out of their existing space. Now, LIFTEX further embodies our commitment to developing innovative solutions that allow our clients to grow their offerings with less risk, disruption, and expenses.
Developed over four decades ago in 1976, the LIFTEX process has utilized ISE’s American-fabricated structural steel for vertical expansion roof lifting projects. By keeping the roof lifting operation turn-key from design through construction in-house, Industrial Services Enterprises is able to ensure the highest quality control and standards in commercial construction.
Our fresh identity represents our effort to reinvigorate our values and streamline our process, helping to better serve our clients in a more efficient way that delivers the best results and a maximized return on investment. The team behind ISE and LIFTEX is still the same industry experts who have spearheaded roof lifting in the United States for nearly the last 50 years.
As seasoned steel fabricators, our expertise is unmatched. We handle everything from steel fabrication to intricate design-build projects.
Merging aesthetics with functionality, our commercial building structural designs are innovative and sustainable, ensuring long-term value.
We employ 50 years of experience in structural steel fabrication, adhering to and surpassing industry standards for quality and precision, using time-tested methods while still continuously looking for ways to improve.
From design build and detailing through to steel erection, we offer a full spectrum of services under one roof, ensuring seamless project execution.
Our projects are tailored to meet the unique needs of each client, ensuring satisfaction and long-lasting relationships.
Adhering to the highest safety standards, we are committed to ensuring the well-being of our team and clients.
In today’s industrial marketplace, where property costs and interest rates are soaring and commercial space in metro areas is scarce, LIFTEX offers a viable solution to deliver the results commercial real estate clients need, without the staggering bills that are typically associated with them.
We understand the challenges of expanding square footage for growth and expansion and offer a vertical option instead. By maintaining the existing roof and perimeter of the building, LIFTEX is able to raise the entire roof to the desired height and enclose the space around it to create more vertical space and usable cubic footage within the building, adding value to the property.
LIFTEX’s services enable clients to repurpose existing buildings to offer something entirely different, creating an opportunity for a new business to thrive. Other times our roof lifts simply expand the capacity available for an existing business without the risks of relocating or investing in new properties. Either way, at the end of each project the resulting property is more profitable and attractive.
Each roof lifting project begins with a meticulous evaluation process. The LIFTEX team closely listens to the client’s goals and assesses the feasibility of roof lifting for their specific request. This phase involves thorough site visits for data collection and client education on what to expect from the process. LIFTEX then compiles this information to create a tailored budget proposal.
Following the initial assessment, LIFTEX engages in a comprehensive due diligence phase. Structural steel experts conduct detailed on-site surveys and preliminary structural engineering to define the exact scope of work and contract pricing. This critical step ensures precision in project planning and budgeting, laying the groundwork for a successful lift.
Preparation is key to a smooth lift process. This stage involves synchronizing efforts between LIFTEX and the client. LIFTEX performs final site measurements and fabricates the structural steel required for the lift. Every building column is transformed into a robust lift point, setting the stage for the upcoming roof elevation.
Finally, there is the day of the lift, where the roof is methodically raised to the desired height, typically at a rate of one foot per hour. After reaching the appropriate height, the installation of final steel supports, including welding and bolting of telescoping columns and adding bracing for additional stability, commenced.
