TPO Roofing & Debris Removal

Hey, what’s up everybody? Nick Lavelle with RestoreMasters. We’re in Hammond Indiana working with one of our big customers, Steel City Tire, doing a thousand square re-roof right now. Come on, let show you a little bit about the project.

So it’s kind of interesting how we ended up coming in with this customer. We were doing a lot of evaluations in Hammond Indiana for a storm that had happened a few years ago. Started at the store level, spoke with the manager. Steel City is quite a large company, so we started working our way up through the chain. Had to meet with the board of the directors. Now obviously the best and most efficient way to go about a situation like this after storm is to file an insurance claim. But fortunately, after we got through all the red tape, it had taken quite a while, the policy expired so the customer had to come out of pocket a million dollars for the claim. Just really shows a sense of urgency in situations like this. So here we are on the roof of the project. Logistics have been an absolute nightmare with all the tires and trucks.

I’m sure you guys saw it on the video coming in and out. So what we’ve done is we strategically placed all of the ISO board of materials all the way across the roof, making sure that we distribute the load evenly so we don’t have any issues with the structure of the building. So as we’re moving forward here, you can see we’re doing a full tear off all the way down to the decking. We’ve got the cutting machine tearing everything up right now. This has some old outdated ISO board. It’s the old yellow side ISO only about an inch thick. What we’re doing is we’re bringing it up to code. We’re putting four inch nice beautiful ISO up on there and then covering up with the TPO finish.

So here we are inside the facility. As you guys can see, we got a lot of trucks. There’s crane trucks, forklifts coming in and out, and we’ve actually run into quite a bit of bad decking. So, if we take a look up here, you can see a lot of this shiny stuff right here. This is brand new decking we had installed for the customer for safety purposes. We don’t want to have rotten decking out here. As a result of that, it has created some debris. So I want to take you over here and show you a little bit about what we’ve been working with. So as you can see here, we’re running into some debris that’s fallen from the sky as we’re doing the roofing, just because we got a lot of bad decking and we’re not going to leave this here for the customer to have to clean up. What we do is we come down daily, sometimes every couple hours, to make sure it’s clean so we can keep this in tip top shape for the customer.
