A SureCoat Systems’ Platinum Approved Contractor recently completed a SureCoat Roof Restoration System over a 3 acre roof in Southern California.
This building is the size of nearly 3 football fields and houses a full-service courier and trucking company. The facility consists of a huge security gated yard, several thousand square feet of office space and over 100,000 square feet of warehouse. The warehouse includes its own set of offices, over half a dozen forklifts and hundreds of shelves with client’s merchandise stacked to the ceiling.
A SureCoat Systems’ Approved Contractor took this property under a roof maintenance contract beginning in 2012. It was upon the initial inspection and assessment that the contractor noted hundreds of existing roof repairs that were failing. The contractor’s roof report noted damage to all facets of the roof including the penetrations, waterways, equipment curbs, seams and laps. The visual assessment of the roof included abrasion, alligatoring and cracking. There were hundreds of roof repairs failing throughout the roof field with significant wear in the ponding areas.
In its current condition, this roof was a candidate for a roof restoration system but only a system that could withstand ponding water. Left for another few years, everything, including insulation and the substrate, would have to be replaced.
The cost for a complete tear-off and roof replacement was proposed at $587,000. The new roof would come with a warranty from the manufacturer but would be void if the roof had ponding water. Now knowing the current condition of the roof and that age and design made it nearly impossible to eliminate all of the ponding water, the owners worked with the property management company to seek out other options. After seeing completed projects from their new contractor and getting all their technical questions answered about the SureCoat Roof System, the ownership group opted for a SureCoat Roof Restoration System and saved nearly $200,000.
With maintenance and SureCoat, the approved contractor was able to keep the roof leaks at bay and prevent further damage while the ownership put a budget in place for a new roof. It took approximately three years for the ownership to get the budget in place for a complete SureCoat Roof Restoration but it could have taken much longer had they needed to tear-off and replace the entire roof. During these three years the annual maintenance was performed on the roof by the SureCoat Systems’ Approved Contractor and the SureCoat Roof Extender was used to seal the existing roof leaks.
The approved contractor was able to complete this project ahead of schedule with a four-man crew by utilizing a new application technique using a coating spreader. This helped to keep the labor costs down and made the system more affordable for the owners. The tenants, property management company and ownership group couldn’t be happier. Since this project was completed, the approved contractor has had the opportunity to maintain and bid on several more large roofing projects for this client.
This roof now has a 10 year renewable warranty with written coverage for failures in ponding water. The SureCoat Roof System will also lower the cost of future roof maintenance and lower future roof budgets. Do you want to learn more about the “Industries’ Best Roof Warranty”?
