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

‍

After more than 20 years of exposure, the SBS/APP torch-down roof had broken down in several areas. Repairs had stopped holding, the silver coating had thinned out, and low sections of the roof were consistently collecting water. Seams, curbs, and parapet transitions were starting to separate, creating clear points of water intrusion.

‍

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

‍

This restoration covered 1,420 sq. ft. of flat roofing:

• Main Roof Area: 1,230 sq. ft.
• Curbs & Parapet Walls: 190 sq. ft.

The homeowner wanted a fully waterproof system that did not require a tear-off, met the community’s color restrictions, and provided long-term protection without changing the building’s exterior look.

‍

‍

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

‍

• The silver coating was failing, exposing worn asphalt beneath.
• Older repairs had split or peeled, allowing water to enter.
• Ponding and standing water. Low spots required reinforcement and custom detailing.
• The roof could not be white or highly reflective due to neighborhood requirements.

‍

‍
