Roof Replacement Case Study

A comprehensive roof inspection and replacement project by Clark Roofing.

The Problem: A Roof Full of Issues

Introduction to the roof’s condition:
  • The roof was less than a year old but had experienced continuous leaks and problems.
  • Despite multiple attempts by the original contractor, the issues remained unresolved.

Key Issues Identified:

  • Improper Installation: The original roof installation was riddled with mistakes, leaving the system vulnerable.
  • Critical Details Missing: Several key elements, such as the parapet wall and gutter installation, were improperly done.

The Client’s Dilemma:

  • Lost trust in the original installer and called Clark Roofing for a second opinion.

Clark Roofing’s Inspection Process

Detailed Inspection and Findings:

  • Our licensed and certified experts conducted a thorough roof inspection.
  • Issues Found:
    • Incorrect installation of the parapet wall and gutter edge.
    • Missing or improperly installed conduits.
    • Lack of support, with the roof feeling spongy when walked on.
    • Poor welds and incorrect roofing details.

What We Did: Roof Removal and Replacement

Proposal for Solution:

  • Given the extent of the issues, we proposed the complete removal and replacement of the roof system.

Major Findings During Tear-off:

  • Dangerous Electrical Hazards: The original installation was done over live electrical conduits, which is a serious violation of building codes and highly dangerous.
  • Insulation Issues: The roof lacked the required insulation and support systems, including flute fillers for metal retrofit systems.

Re-roofing Process:

  • The old system was completely removed and replaced with a new roof system on the same day.

Before & After Transformation

The Price Paid for Subpar Work

  • The client had paid $23,000 for the roof replacement less than a year ago, which was supposed to include a 15-year material warranty and a 7-year workmanship warranty.
  • Unfortunately, these warranties proved to be invalid, as the original contractor failed to address the significant issues.
