This home features a multi level roof which includes sections of tile and flat sections that were all previously Tar and Gravel. Goodrich Roofing repaired the entire roof which included a TPO replacement to one of the flat sections. Now with resealed tile and a new TPO surface, this roof is ready to take on Albuquerque’s unpredictable fall and winter.
The Problem
This homeowner came to Goodrich because of leaks. It is important to quickly deal with leaking in your home because it can be an indication of a serious issue that can cause structural damage. When our inspector visited the property to see what could be causing the leaks, it was clear that years of wear and tear were catching up to the roof. Seams that had been previously sealed were wearing down, leaving the roof exposed to the elements. There was also some decay around the tile sections which exposed more vulnerabilities.
Our Solution
Our expert roofing team decided that the best course of action was to reseal the tile and most of the tar and gravel sections. One of the flat roof sections needed more than just repair. We replaced it with a brand new TPO roofing System. We added a taper and replaced scuppers to ensure proper drainage and prevent pooling. Finally, we coordinated with HVAC to detach and reset the AC unit. As we worked on the new TPO section, we resealed the tile and Tar and Gravel sections. This ensures the whole system is properly sealed and our valued customer stays worry free during the wet season.
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, a sturdy and reliable option. The homeowner decided on the tan color to minimize contrast with the home’s stucco. Then, to seal the tile and Tar and Gravel sections, we used Gaco Patch silicone roof patch, our favorite long term roofing repair solution.
