The project
The first sign of trouble at this North Springfield-area home was a stain spreading across a ceiling inside. When we got up on the flat roof, the cause was easy to see. The old surface was weathered and light colored, with patches and worn spots around the edges and the vents.
The crew tore off the old roof and looked at the edge wood and the decking underneath. Where the edge wood was damaged it was replaced, so the new roof would have a solid edge to finish against. Then the crew installed a new black Owens Corning DeckSeal membrane across the whole roof, working around the chimney and the vents.
The finished flat roof is smooth and uniform, with the new black membrane running neatly up to the walls and around the roof penetrations. The photos below follow the job from the ceiling stain to the finished roof. A ceiling stain after rain is worth taking seriously, and we are happy to look at it with you.
