Martell’s, a famous New Jersey shoreline restaurant, banquet facility and outdoor tiki bar resort has been a part of the Roll-A-Cover family for over 4 years. Their establishments have enjoyed the tremendous benefits of our retractable sunroom products and also our retractable skylight roof systems as a marketing venue for their summer time clientele. Their two locations are renown for their ocean view comfort, and both being tremendous boater hot spots, the space that Martell’s offers is second to none.   

There hasn’t been a project that we have custom designed for the owners and staff at Martell’s that hasn’t been applauded for its design and innovative rolling concept. But, on the other side of the coin, our Roll-A-Cover staff has also enjoyed the people that are apart of Martell’s and the excitement that they bring to our projects offerings. We often look to our finest clients as the ones that hold our future in their hands and Martell’s establishments are one of those chosen entities.

The first project that we designed for them was at their Martell’s Waters Edge location which has proved to be tremendous added benefit to their outdoor seating areas. They would of lost a considerable amount of clients during those windy and or rainy days but with our Roll-A-Cover products protecting those  spaces they could maintain a strong flow of guests that will enjoy their beach side times whether the sun is out of a storm purges over the beach front.

The project that is within these photos is the Martell’s Boardwalk location. This is one of two new retractable skylights that were custom designed and built to roll between several Tiki bars as a protective covering during those inclement days.

We plan to load our vehicles for the 4 hour road trip to Martell’s.  The added care packing the unit insures a non-damaged product as it is being shipped and installed miles away from our plant. Being telescopic in nature, we are often able to sit multiple sections on our rigs.  This gives us ease during the craning and transporting of our units.  

As the loading process comes to a close, planning for the 4 hour road trip with a secure rig becomes the primary concern.

As a team from Martell’s construction crew assists the crane in transporting the first roof section through the streets, this was the start to a fun packed day. The weight of this section is around 500 lbs so a tow motor on this project became a pleasure.

Now that the section is closer to its resting site, the access to the boardwalk has forced the construction crew to man handle the roof section vertical so that it can safely pass through a narrow walkway.

Bringing the forklift to the installation location was a blessing to everyone. Safety is always first at a Roll-A-Cover site. Protecting the boardwalk from the wheels of the forklift was a safe and responsible task that everyone took part in.

Preparing one of the sections for its lift took time with the rigging process but once everything went into place the ease of installing these pre-assembled panels became second nature to everyone.

Hoisting the section 14’ into the air and placing them on one of the Roll-A-Cover’s skylight track system was easier than expected for the installation crew. Roll-A-Cover was there as support, but the experience at the first Martell’s project a few years back was all that this crew needed. They were pro’s already and the process was a simple enclosure, where as this 800 square foot skylight could be installed and secured in just one day.

A team member on each side of the tiki bar roofs, guiding the forklift with the first section, the retractable skylight project starts to take shape.

Installing the second section becomes second nature to the operator and installs team. The sections are lifted over the other section and placed into its permanent location on the tracking system.

Installing the custom pre-built gable end was as easy as the bays were. This section was shipped down as one and re-screwed into place. This short wall will help protect the interior deck area during high winds and rain.

Three sections are stacked on top of each other and ready to roll closed or open. There is a tight seal between each one which gives the system a tremendous amount of stability

Inclusive with Phil and Dennis from Roll-A-Cover, the staff from Martell’s is standing tall because of the Roll-A-Cover retractable skylight that was installed and working as planned. This team is now waiting for skylight 32, which is expected to arrive in a few days.  Then they could complete this extensive remodeling project and prepare for another tremendous summer season.

From all of us at Roll-A-Cover, to our friends at Martells, thank you for years of business and your continuous confidence in our products and services. We are committed to our clients that look to us, at Roll-A-Cover for their enclosure needs. Happy parting to all!!!!
