When you have millions of dollars of textiles threatened by numerous roof leaks; when there is no budget for a huge new roof; when product is being routinely damaged; when you just cannot wait 5 months until Spring weather - what is one to do?
A yucky, nasty, expensive-to-replace Hot Tar and Gravel Roof was Renovated by our crew in short order… Restored - better than new.
Converted to a Energy-Star Approved, Cool Roof. Professionally restored with New Technology, Liquid-Applied, Seamless, Bright-White, Reflective Elastomeric Roof Coatings.
Not ALL Rock roofs can be Renovated. We need to inspect the roof for layers, adhesion, defects and the like.
Those than can be “salvaged” can save the building owner a ton of money. Moreover, the net result will last longer than most new, replacement roofs. Since there is no dirty, messy, risky, roof removal, much of the expense is eliminated.
A COOL ROOF Restoration of a Low-Slope, Cap Sheet Roof is considerably less costly than any kind of replacement roof. A Cool Roof Renovation can last just as long - oftentimes longer - than a brand new Cap Sheet Roof. Why? Because tar-based Cap Sheet continues to be extremely susceptible to the punishing rays of the sun. This is becoming well known to big real estate owners. Consider what chain stores like PetSmart, Office Depot, Home Depot, Kohl’s do when they build or remodel a store for their use!
A couple in Placentia, CA asked us to help them battle their recalcitrant insurance company. The field claims adjusters and upstream managers were denying the homeowners’ repeated claims for water damage and subsequent mold infestation. Their claims were declined time and time again. The source of the water intrusion could not be located by either the insurance company nor by several home-envelope experts called out by the insurance company for professional analysis. It seems as though rain was mysteriously “wicking” directly through the exterior concrete stucco walls!
The upshot? We made a quasi-legal case with the Insurance company, and they volunteered a settlement that was large-enough to almost cover the cost of a whole new roof. Not just a boring, old-fashioned, replacement Hot Tar Roof - but a new-technology, Single-Ply, ISO-INSULATED Cool Roof…
A homeowner in La Habra Heights had a custom-built home with a very low slope roof. When we first saw the roof it was leaking and definitely needed to be replaced. Like so many Hot Tar and Gravel Roofs - this roof had several layers - way too much weight than the roof structure was ever designed to support. The lowest-sloped areas of the roof had been crushed virtually FLAT - offering rain water no escape.
A serious, secondary issue with this home was the lack of ceiling insulation. With no attic, there is little opportunity to fix such issues until now! We added 4-Inches of pure comfort averaging R-46…
Here is a H-O-T Project… We were asked to travel from the relative bliss of Southern California to the BLAST FURNACE of Palm Springs, CA - - - in - - - summertime to make a Palm Springs Classic Condo Leak-FREE and C-O-O-L-E-R too…
What do the “snow birds” who flock to Palm Springs, California and Palm Beach, Florida have in common? For the most part, they have already returned to their homes in Minnesota, Massachusetts, and Connecticut by now! They have better sense…
Here is a fun project… We were asked to re-roof a famous surf-side Inn in the touristy, village of San Clemente, CA - the former home of President Richard Nixon’s Summer White House. This multi-story Inn facing the San Clemente Pier that juts out into the Pacific Ocean had water dripping through the ceilings of the upstairs rooms and suites for years. Roof repairs would not hold up! What was the problem here?
