Full Flat Roof Replacement — Gray TPO Membrane

The team recently completed a comprehensive roof restoration on a striking modern home overlooking Spring Lake, a project that showcased both the technical precision required for contemporary architecture and the problem-solving needed when weather takes its toll. The residence featured a distinctive design with flat roof sections paired with barrel vault skylights, creating an aesthetically bold statement that demanded careful attention during the renovation.

The primary challenge lay in the failing built-up roofing covering the flat sections, where standing water had accumulated and caused deterioration across multiple areas. The crew performed a complete tear-off down to the deck, replaced compromised plywood decking where prolonged moisture exposure had weakened the substrate, then installed a 60 mil TPO membrane with full adhesion throughout. Every seam was meticulously tapered and welded, with the team taking the extra step of welding each joint twice to ensure lasting performance. The existing barrel vault skylights with their standing seam metal construction remained in excellent condition, so the focus shifted to resealing all transition flashing where the new TPO membrane met the metal curbs. Additionally, the crew cleared severely debris-clogged scuppers on the building's backside and reapplied fresh caulking.

A three-person crew invested approximately one week in the project, reflecting the meticulous pace required for proper flat roof work and flawless membrane installation. The homeowner, who had deferred this necessary work for two years, expressed satisfaction with finally addressing the issue and trusted the team's commitment to quality throughout every phase of the restoration.
