This option includes the complete tear off and installation of a new roofing system. We work directly with clients or consultants to develop a scope of work for a full roof replacement when the useful roof life is near its end, or the intent of the roof deck is going to change (i.e. PV systems, etc.).
A roof recovery includes installing a roof over an existing roof. A total tear-off may not be necessary if the substrate is in good condition. In many cases, we have installed a new roof over an existing roof, reducing waste and labor hours required.
A roof renewal is fairly common for existing coated roof systems. An owner may want to extend the life of the roof and if the substrate is in good condition, another fluid applied roofing system can renew the expiring roof warranty.
A roof rehabilitation typically includes fixing up the existing roof to perform and function as new – basically major roof repairs to get the current roof system to “like new” condition. This includes identifying and repairing major deficiencies before a costly replacement is needed.
We work hand in hand with general contractors or directly with the clients for the roof installation on new construction projects.

Accumulation of debris over time, can reduce the solar panel output. Regular cleaning can help maximize your systems productivity.
Roofs are constantly under attack by weather, structural movement, roof access and other stresses. While normal “aging” occurs on all roofs, small problems – if not addressed – can turn into costly repairs or premature roof failure. Rooftops require systematic care to uphold integrity, roof warranties and to proactively prevent premature roof failure.

Warranty Requirement
Most manufacturers warranties require that your roof is inspected once or twice per year by a manufacturer licensed applicator. Failure to do so as well as keeping documentation can void your warranty.
Surface Check
We notate roof wear or obvious issues which compromise and damage a roof system. Loose metal trim, membrane and roof top unit parts can be identified early, as well as discharges from roof equipment not properly captured.
Budget & Plan Ahead
Our reports allow property managers to act promptly as resources allow. Addressing emergency deficiencies buys some time, allowing the property to build up reserves towards capital re-roofing projects.

Destructive testing involves taking a core (test cut) sample of the existing roof system. Extracted test cuts are used to determine the construction and moisture content of the existing roofing system.
During a leak investigation, water tests are commonly used to test the roof with controlled water sources to find the location of the leak source.
A professional roof technician performs an inspection of the entire roof system including the top membrane, flashings, metal edges, wall copings, gutters and any problem areas you have.
Laser surveys may be conducted to assess the slope of the roof to aid in identifying what may be causing the existing ponding conditions
Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) provides a way to identify and pinpoint a leak or breach in the waterproof membrane. The ability to identify a leak and where the leak is originating before the overburden or re-roof can save thousands of dollars in damage prevention and construction costs.
Infrared moisture surveys provide a way to identify specific areas of wet insulation and moisture that is present in the existing roof system. A leak into a waterproof membrane often enters into the roof system and saturates the insulation and underlying layers.
Electric capacitance testing is used to determine if a specific roof area is wet or dry. These are commonly used on leak investigations for small isolated areas. Limitations include EPDM and aluminum coated roofs. Deck scanners can be utilized for larger projects.

Annual cleaning is recommended for maximum efficiency of your panels. Build up of debris, dirt, salt and bird droppings over time can reduce the energy production of your panels.
Roof cleaning is recommended on an annual basis depenant on location to keep the roof sytem in good condition and inspected for any deficiencies that may not be obvious due to the PV panels installed over the deck.
