About Harvest

Fusion Trading, LLC was founded in 2006 with an emphasis on providing unique solutions to everyday problems that building owners encounter. As a litigator, founder John Follis always focused on identifying risks and then sought solutions to address them. He took this same concept to the facilities world. It quickly became apparent that the “Building Envelope” was a continuous source of problems for owners, and in particular, the roof. It did not take long to realize that all roofs leak. For the owner, it is not a matter of “if” a leak will occur, it is “when” it will occur.

This was a puzzling fact. Sadly, it was an accepted one as well. The problem was easily identified. Every traditional roofing system, by design, requires an accessory or assembly to complete the system. It is in these areas, more generally known as the details, where the roof is weakest and most susceptible to the weathering process, which causes the failures.

Upon identifying why this was happening, Follis found the solution: Fluid Applied roofing. By identifying the inherent flaws associated with the design of traditional roofing systems, it became clear that these systems eliminate those flaws, not just in the short term, but for the life of a building. As a fully adhered, self-bonding system, Fluid Applied roofs create a monolithic surface, thus eliminating the need for accessories and assemblies. The weak points are eliminated, and so too are the failures of traditional roofs.

That is the reason that Harvest has implemented this solution to over 3.5 million square feet of roofs in the educational and commercial markets of Texas.

As Follis paid closer attention to the needs of the customer, it became evident that buildings are becoming “sick”. This is magnified by the fact that they become filled with people that spread germs. Unhealthy buildings are a worldwide problem. They impact the performance, attendance, productivity and behavior of the occupants. This too seemed unnecessary. It is. Harvest is now a major supporter of the CIMR sanitizing technology. This system automatically, continuously, effectively and safely eliminates the transference of airborne and surface germs, 24/7/365.

Harvest is now in the healthy building business. By securing the roof, it eliminates the infiltration of water, a major contributor to the problem. Through the CIMR technology, Harvest also solves the huge need to provide healthy indoor conditions as well.
