[heading-style-h3]A Federal Agency’s Roof Brought Back to Life: One Property, Two Roof Types, One Seamless Restoration[heading-style-h3]

<<A facility reached the end of its roof’s service life with no leaks yet, but clear signs of aging. Flat Roof Pros restored both roofing systems with a unified silicone solution designed to prolong performance for years to come.>>

[heading-style-h4]Project Overview[heading-style-h4]

[heading-style-h6]The Situation[heading-style-h6]

The roof systems were approaching the end of their expected lifespan. While they weren’t experiencing active leaks, the roofs showed visible wear, aging seams, and early signs of deterioration. The agency wanted to extend the life of both roofs without the unnecessary costs, downtime, or disruption of a full replacement.

[heading-style-h6]The Client[heading-style-h6]

This government facility had two roof areas nearing the end of their service life: one with an aging TPO system and another with a weathered metal roof. The agency wanted a solution that would extend the life of both roofs without the cost, downtime, or operational disruption of a full replacement. They needed a long-term, budget-friendly approach that kept the property protected and avoided unnecessary construction impacts.

[heading-style-h4]Challenges[heading-style-h4]

Two different roofing systems, each aging differently but needing one unified solution.

  • Main Building (TPO System):
    • Aging membrane nearing its service limit
    • Visible surface wear from years of sun exposure
    • Seams beginning to show stress
    • Early signs of membrane deterioration
  • Equipment Storage Building (Metal Roof):
    • UV breakdown on exposed panels
    • Areas of surface corrosion
    • Fasteners and seams needing sealant reinforcement
    • Smooth metal surfaces requiring specialized silicone prep and adhesion

[heading-style-h4]Solution[heading-style-h4]

  • Surface Preparation
    • Broom cleaning
    • Full pressure wash
    • Blocker primer applied across all surfaces
    • Inspection of every seam, joint, splice, and penetration
  • Silicone System Installation
    • Applied Silicone throughout the entire roof area
    • Achieved a fully seamless, monolithic membrane designed to last

[heading-style-h4]Completed Project[heading-style-h4]

  • A seamless, UV-stable membrane on both the TPO and metal roof
  • Extended roof life without the cost of replacement
  • Ongoing annual inspections to maintain warranty and performance
  • 20-Year Material Warranty
  • 20 -Year Workmanship Warranty
