The Hilton Waikoloa Beach Resort located along the Kohala Coast recently completed re-roofing and repairs for several of their buildings on property.  Resort ownership took proactive measures to prevent leaks from occurring that included hiring a consulting firm for roof evaluations.  Two of the roofs inspected were at the end of their life cycle and required attention.  Commercial Roofing was contracted to perform work to keep the building’s roof watertight.

The Palace Tower had a built-up roof with gravel aggregate on top. With a 6-story building height and 8’ parapet walls, removing the gravel was a challenge.  A Tremco flood coat product was installed over the existing roof to create a smooth surface.  Because a majority of the roof was still in useable condition, wet insulation areas were repaired and a Tremco Alphaguard  fluid-applied roof system was installed over the existing.  The savings from not having to do a complete roof replacement is huge.  As an added green benefit, it minimized materials going to the landfill.

 The Laundry room roof was a complete tear-off and installation of a Siplast two-ply 20/30 SBS modified bitumen system.  A Siplast Parapro system was also utilized to waterproof certain areas. Laundry room services had to operate 24 hours a day, thus a schedule was developed to allow laundry services to keep up with hotel demand.  By proactively addressing possible leaks, resort ownership was able to avoid a potential loss in revenues due to leaks into guest rooms or hotel amenities.  The warranties include labor and material giving the owner peace of mind for the next twenty years.
