Renovate Robotics Partners with Saint-Gobain and CertainTeed Roofing to Innovate Robotic Roofing Technology

CertainTeed and Renovate Robotics are partnering to use robotics to innovate roofing installation. Saint-Gobain, the parent company of CertainTeed, has also completed an equity investment in Renovate Robotics through NOVA by Saint-Gobain, its corporate venturing arm.

Renovate’s first robot automates asphalt shingle installation on steep slope roofs. Under the partnership, Renovate will work with roofing professionals from within CertainTeed’s network of credentialed contractors to complete pilot projects with its robot. These installations are expected to begin in 2024.

“We’re always looking for ways to provide additional value to the contractors that install our products,” said Carmen Bodden, VP and GM of CertainTeed Roofing. “Contractors are entrepreneurs – they are constantly looking for solutions that help them work smarter and build their business. Automation can improve productivity and efficiency, ensuring the contractor can focus on quality and service.”

“As one of the world’s largest building materials companies, we are committed to supporting forward-thinking start-ups like Renovate Robotics that have the potential to bring meaningful value to the construction field,” said Basma Kharrat, Vice President of NOVA by Saint-Gobain. “With technology that drives productivity and efficiency, Renovate represents innovation in the roofing industry, and we are excited to see their future success.”

“We’re bringing automation to the roofing industry because we believe it has the power to set new standards for safety, productivity, and installation quality,” said Andy Stulc, CEO of Renovate Robotics. “Contractors across the country are already struggling to meet demand, and climate change is causing more damage to roofs every year. Our goal is to help roofing contractors be more efficient while also keeping their crews safe.”

Renovate’s growth plan also includes solutions that accelerate the deployment of other installation applications, including rooftop solar and low-slope commercial roofing.

As the roofing industry continues to evolve through innovation and technology, the fundamentals of excellent service—precision, reliability, and durability—remain as vital as ever. Homeowners and businesses alike are seeking roofing solutions that not only stand up to the elements but also add value and efficiency to their properties. Whether it’s repairing storm damage, upgrading materials, or installing energy-efficient options, today’s roofing services must blend craftsmanship with forward-thinking approaches to meet modern expectations.

That’s exactly the philosophy behind The Las Vegas Roofing Company, where time-tested techniques meet contemporary standards. Known for their expert installation and attention to detail, their team handles everything from residential shingles to complex commercial systems with a commitment to quality and safety. By integrating traditional roofing excellence with the needs of today’s market, they offer tailored solutions that address both immediate concerns and long-term durability—ensuring every roof is built to protect, perform, and last.
