The project

The damage. Roofs across this duplex strata were damaged along their ridges and hips. Our first job was to get the damaged areas covered with temporary membrane so no water got in before the replacement.

Emergency repairs first. The damage came from a wind storm. Our crews made emergency repairs on twelve duplex units, so every home stayed dry until the new roofs went on.

Planning the scope. We documented the damage roof by roof and worked with the strata’s property manager on the scope. When more units turned out to need replacement, they were added to the project.

The roofs. Each affected roof was stripped to the deck, the decking checked and repaired, and a complete new roof installed with ice and water membrane, underlayment, new shingles, ridge cap, vents and flashings, including around the tall chimney chases.

Keeping everyone informed. We kept the property manager updated as the work moved through the complex, and cleaned up every site at the end of the day.

An upgrade for the owners. Most owners chose to upgrade to Malarkey Legacy shingles, installed by us as a Malarkey Emerald Pro contractor.

Beyond the roof. The wind had also damaged eavestroughs, soffits and wall flashings. Building by building, we replaced the full eavestrough and downspouts, the damaged soffit on the south, west and east sides, damaged HVAC vents, and window and door trims.
