Ponding water and failed seams across the flat roof. We removed it and installed a new fully adhered membrane over tapered insulation that pitches toward the drains.

Cracked, chalking surface over a dry substrate, so replacement was not needed. We cleaned, primed and applied silicone, and the steps behind this warehouse coating restoration are laid out coat by coat.
Water entering at the parapet walls. New counterflashing and resealed coping joints stopped it.
Commercial and multi-family roofs fill our schedule, so they lead this grid. The commercial roofing page covers the commercial and office jobs shown here in more depth.

Wide shots of a clean membrane prove very little. Water attacks the edges, drains and seams first, so that is where the photo should be sharp. Apply this to any roofer's pictures, ours included.
The next finished roof in this project gallery could be yours.
