Project Background
Client: ABC Manufacturing Co.
Location: AL
Building Type: Industrial Warehouse
Project Scope: Complete roof replacement
Roof Size: 50,000 square feet
Original Roof Type: Aging Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
Initial Consultation and Inspection
The project began with an initial consultation and thorough inspection of the existing roof. ABC Manufacturing Co. had been experiencing frequent leaks and energy inefficiencies, which prompted them to seek a reliable roofing solution. Our team at Finishing Solutions LLC conducted a comprehensive assessment, identifying multiple issues with the aging BUR system, including:
Severe water damage and leaks
Cracks and blisters in the roofing material
Poor insulation leading to increased energy costs
Proposal and Planning
Based on our inspection findings, we recommended a complete roof replacement with a TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin) roofing system. TPO was chosen for its durability, energy efficiency, and ability to withstand climate. We provided a detailed proposal outlining the project scope, materials, timeline, and costs. The client approved our proposal, and we proceeded with the planning phase.
Key Considerations:
Material Selection: TPO was selected for its reflective properties and durability.
Project Timeline: The project was scheduled to minimize disruption to the client’s operations.
Budget: We worked within the client’s budget while ensuring high-quality materials and workmanship.
Preparation and Safety Measures
Prior to starting the roof replacement, we implemented rigorous safety measures to protect both our team and the client’s property. Our preparation included:
Setting up safety barriers and signage
Ensuring proper fall protection for our workers
Coordinating with the client to minimize impact on daily operations
Roof Replacement Process
Removal of Old Roof
The first step in the replacement process was the removal of the old BUR system. This involved:
Safely stripping away the old roofing materials
Inspecting the underlying structure for any damage
Repairing any structural issues to provide a solid foundation for the new roof
Installation of TPO Roofing System
With the old roof removed and the structure repaired, we began the installation of the new TPO roofing system. The process included:
Installing a new insulation layer to enhance energy efficiency
Laying down the TPO membrane and securing it with mechanical fasteners
Ensuring all seams were properly welded to prevent leaks
Installing edge metal and flashings for a finished, professional look
Quality Assurance and Final Inspection
Upon completion of the installation, we conducted a thorough quality assurance check to ensure the roof met our high standards. This included:
Inspecting all seams and flashings for proper adhesion
Conducting water tests to ensure the roof was leak-proof
Verifying that the insulation layer provided the desired energy efficiency
Results and Client Satisfaction
The new TPO roofing system provided ABC Manufacturing Co. with numerous benefits, including:
Elimination of Leaks: The new roof resolved all previous water damage issues, providing a leak-proof solution.
Energy Savings: The reflective properties of the TPO membrane significantly reduced the building's cooling costs.
Enhanced Durability: The TPO roofing system offered superior resistance to weather conditions, ensuring long-term performance.
