Expertise in Action: Repair First Roofing’s Commitment to Quality

At Repair First Roofing, our mission is to provide comprehensive roofing solutions that not only address immediate concerns but also safeguard your home for years to come. Recently, we tackled a project involving significant storm damage to a built-up roofing system in Tucson, AZ. This project highlighted our team’s ability to expertly restore and protect residential roofs with precision and care.

The Challenge

After a recent storm, our client’s built-up roofing system sustained severe damage, with sections of the roof blown off, exposing the decking underneath. The first row of sheathing had also been compromised, leading to leaks that threatened the structural integrity of the home. Immediate action was required to prevent further damage and restore the roof to its original condition.

The Solution

Our team at Repair First Roofing devised a detailed plan to address the damage and install a new, durable roofing system:

1. Removal and Disposal: We began by removing the damaged roofing system and hauling away all debris to prepare the roof for restoration.

2. Sheathing Replacement: The first row of sheathing was replaced, as it had been damaged by the storm. We anticipated replacing eight sheets to ensure a solid foundation for the new roof.

3. HVAC Unit Relocation: To facilitate the roofing work, we jacked up and relocated the HVAC unit as needed, ensuring it was properly positioned afterward (additional charge applied).

4. Installation of Base Ply: We installed the base ply of the new roofing system, setting the stage for a durable, multi-layered roof.

5. Second and Third Ply Installation: Using asphalt adhesion, we applied the second and third layers of the roofing system, reinforcing the roof’s durability and weather resistance.

6. Drip Edge Installation: A new drip edge was installed to complete the roofing system, and it was sealed with membrane and sealant to ensure it remained watertight.

7. Roof Penetration Sealing: All roof penetrations were meticulously sealed to prevent leaks and enhance the roof’s longevity.

8. Elastomeric Roof Coating: To further protect the roof, we applied a protective white elastomeric roof coating. A second coat of premium white elastomeric roof coating was added as needed, providing an additional layer of defense against the elements.

9. Final Debris Disposal: Once all roofing work was completed, we disposed of all job-related debris, leaving the property clean and secure.

The Result

The result was a fully restored and upgraded built-up roofing system that not only addressed the storm damage but also provided enhanced protection for the future. Our client was relieved to have their home’s roof restored quickly and efficiently, with high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship that will stand the test of time.
