Renovate Robotics, based in Brooklyn, New York, is the leading startup developing autonomous roofing robots with a focus on making roofing safer and more productive for contractors. Their first robot, Rufus, installs asphalt shingles on residential roofs and is expected to launch with contractors in New Jersey and Pennsylvania later this year.

“This technology has the potential to disrupt the roofing industry where labor is a scarce resource, and we are excited to be an early partner that can help shape its development,” commented Julian Francis, Beacon’s President and CEO. “Renovate Robotics’ mission perfectly aligns with Beacon’s focus on safety and efficiency, and we look forward to incorporating their advanced robotic technology across our network to better serve our contractor customers.”

We are on a mission to reduce accidents and fatalities, protect homes and businesses from severe weather and accelerate solar deployment,” commented Andy Stulc, Renovate Robotics’ CEO. “We are thrilled to have Beacon join Saint-Gobain/CertainTeed as partners. Beacon’s technology-enabled approach toward distribution will accelerate our launch this year, and we look forward to working with Beacon to improve safety and productivity for contractors in the roofing industry.”
