Project Spotlight: Healthcare Facility Roof Replacement
Our team was tasked with replacing a failing roof on a local healthcare facility—a high-profile project that required precision, planning, and flawless execution. This wasn’t just a roof replacement; it was a carefully coordinated operation to keep the facility running smoothly while upgrading its most critical protective surface.
Project Highlights
The project involved removing the existing roof down to the structural deck and installing a new, high-performance roofing system backed by a 20-year manufacturer warranty and a 5-year HRS workmanship warranty. The work required massive logistical coordination to move all debris and new materials safely from the front parking lot to the crane staging area, using trucks, trailers, and 15 dumpsters rotated on crane days.
To accommodate deliveries, the receiving dock was shut down every Thursday morning to allow a 300-ton crane to lift all tear-off and new materials. By Friday, the dock was fully operational, minimizing disruption to the hospital’s daily operations.
Roof System Upgrades
The new roof was designed for long-term durability, energy efficiency, and optimal water drainage. Key improvements included:
- Complete removal of the old roof down to the structural deck
- Multiple layers of high-performance insulation for superior energy efficiency
- Precision tapered insulation, reverse crickets, and drain sumps for proper water flow
- Asphaltic base sheet set in cold applied adhesives
- Fleece-backed membrane system for superior waterproofing
- Reinforced vertical wall surfaces for long-term reliability
- Reinforced walkways in high-traffic areas
- Custom-fabricated 24-gauge Kynar steel flashings and sheet metal for a watertight, warrantable finish
A Seamless, Warrantable Solution
The result is a safe, durable, and energy-efficient roof that meets modern building codes and comes with a 20-year manufacturer warranty. Despite the complexity and scale of the project, our team delivered on schedule, with precision, and with minimal impact to the hospital’s operations.
This project demonstrates our ability to handle large-scale, high-risk roofing projects while maintaining strict attention to detail, logistics, and client needs.
