<<A leaking Starbucks roof was fully upgraded to a seamless PVC system and completed without interrupting business.>>
[heading-style-h4]Project Overview[heading-style-h4]
[heading-style-h6]The Situation[heading-style-h6]
A Starbucks location in Renton was struggling with a roof well past its service life. The 20+ year-old torch-down system had failed repairs, active leaks, open seams, and standing water across multiple areas. With the roof in poor condition, a full replacement was the only lasting solution.
[heading-style-h6]The Client[heading-style-h6]
This project covered a total of 5,556 sq. ft. of roofing for a Starbucks store:
- Main Roof Area: 3,244 sq. ft.
- Curbs & Parapet Walls: 2,312 sq. ft.
As an existing property management client, the owner wanted a durable new system, backed by warranties, that would eliminate leaks and reduce future maintenance costs.
[heading-style-h4]Challenges[heading-style-h4]
- Active leaks, split seams, failed patchwork, and ponding water required full removal down to the deck.
- Work had to be staged carefully so the business could remain open and safe during construction.
- HVAC units, ductwork, and penetrations required detailed waterproofing and careful installation.
- Old coping and flashing had to be replaced for watertight perimeter edges.
