The Problem

The existing asphalt was deteriorated, blistered and wind damaged. The underlying insulation was saturated and the wood deck was rotted. After removing the roofing system, insulation, and decking, it was discovered that many of the wood joists were deteriorating. Several of the main support beams had fractured compromising the overall structural integrity of the building.

The Solution

All deteriorated joists and main support beams had to be removed and replaced with new lumber. Careful consideration had to be given to natural gas lines, the sprinkler system, electrical and phone lines and the heating system - most of which were attached to the joints or structure that were being replaced.

After the building's structural integrity was re-established, new plywood deck was installed. Over the new deck, a layer of isocyanurate insultation board was secured to the decking using mechanical fasteners and steel plates. Over the secured decking system, a new, fully adhered EPDM Rubber Membrane Roofing System was installed, returning the roof to a watertight condition.
