From gutters to new roofs, Goodrich Roofing does it all! This project called for a wide range of services from our roofing specialists. The homeowner was looking to fortify an aging roof. With a combination of repairs and replacement, we worked hard to bring this roof back to tip-top shape.
Task at Hand
This roof featured four different flat roof sections and another pitched roof section featuring tile. Two sections of the flat roof had no large issues, the other two showed signs of aging indicating that a re-roof would be the optimal solution to avoid the necessity of constant maintenance. Our team had to ensure that the new TPO system would integrate seamlessly with the existing tile. Additionally, the home was tucked away off the street making access difficult. Our production management team had to problem solve this situation.
Our Solution
To deal with the issue of access, our team used our Equipter drivable dump trailer. This trailer is smaller than the large one that we normally use and can be driven into smaller areas, then raised. It can then be driven to and emptied in the large trailer. This makes debris removal simple even without lots of space to work with. Once tear-off was complete, we created a taper with insulation as the base for the TPO to ensure proper drainage. We mechanically attached the TPO membrane and ensured that details were all taken care of.
Our customer decided that they would also like to add gutter screens to prevent gutter buildup. We added screens to gutters and scuppers. This small addition makes a big difference, making gutter maintenance simple. We finished with small repairs on the tile and tar and gravel sections. Now, the TPO system gives the homeowner ease of mind and excellent protection from the elements.
Materials
For the TPO roofing section, we used rigid poyiso foam insulation to serve as a solid and energy efficient base of the TPO membrane. For the TPO membrane, we used MuleHide Standard TPO in white, a sturdy and reliable option. Then, to seal the tile and tar and gravel sections, we used Gaco Patch silicone roof patch, our favorite long term roofing repair solution.
