Step
1: Complete
Inspection
It is critical that a
comprehensive analysis is performed to determine
the condition of the existing roof and roof
deck. It is at this stage that all existing and
potential defects and leaks are identified.
Step
2: Preparation
Special attention is given to all strategic
areas. A permanently flexible and waterproof
sealant compound is used to seal drains,
scuppers, skylights, roof edgings and
flashing.
Step
3: Reinforcement
Additional reinforcement along
this edge is applied in problem areas that
are typical to existing standard hot tar roof
systems.
Step 4: Equipment
Reinforcement
Roof mounted equipment also needs
extra attention. We install a heavy duty
membrane under this type of equipment that
withstands vibration and the additional weight
of the equipment.
Step
5: More Reinforcement
Every roof has its own unique leak prone
areas. We may use polyurethane foam to seal
pitch pans, sight fence supports and other
troublesome roof penetrations, eliminating them
as an ongoing maintenance item.
Step
6: More Preparation
Polyurethane foam may be used to build up and
level low areas on your roof to reduce standing
water.
Step
7: Total Roof
Reinforcement
A polyester reinforcement membrane is bonded
to the existing roof surface adding strength.
The membrane is broomed so that it integrates as
a permanent component, creating a roof that is 3
times stronger and more flexible than the
original.
Step
8: Layered Protection
There is usually more than one way to
successfully address a problem and your roofing
system is no different. Whether you are looking
for a low-cost solution with a single
reinforcement membrane, or a substantial
upgrade, we can design a roof system to fit your
exact needs and price point.
Step
9: Additional
Insurance
There is no better (or cost effective) time
to replace your aging, leaking skylights. As a
result, you will enhance your interior
daylighting, improve worker productivity and
reduce your electric bills.
Step
10: Final "Cool
Roof" UV Armor
Finally, select a reflective top surfacing.
Aluminum provides an economical solution. White
acrylic surfacings provide an even better long
term solution that will greatly extend roof
life, lower your roof surface temperature,
reduce your energy bills and improve interior
comfort.
