Condo Shingle Roof Replacement After Hail

Summary provided by video transcript.

We’re out here at the Legends at St. John’s condominiums. The material that we chose for this project is the Owens Corning Duration.

The reason we chose this product, we have the SureNail strip. The condominium was having a lot of problems in the past with blow off high winds for the area. And the Owens Corning Duration actually has a strip of Kevlar, so none of the nails can blow through, and we’re just going to get a much more effective warranty in 130 mile an hour winds.

So that’s the shingles we chose for the project, actually for the under the underlayment, we chose a synthetic underlayment instead of the normal felt paper that you can see most contractors put on their projects. Synthetic is much better. It’s got a fire rating. It actually lays flat on the roof system, so you don’t have any bubbles later on. If you look at roofs, sometimes you’ll see that.

We use starter strips that come from the manufacturer. With us being the preferred contractor from Owens Corning, we can actually provide the customer with a 50-year warranty through the manufacturer. So we’re going to use the Owens Corning starter strip, the Owens Corning shingles, Owens Corning ridge ventilation system. We kind of pull the whole package together.

We have our manager here, Mario, who’s helping us run the site here today. We have 112 guys on the roofs and 15 guys on the ground, running all the magnets, keeping everything clean for the tenants.

We have letters and people that talk to all the tenants, put them on the doors. If there’s any problems, they do this all day. So far, everything kind of very smoothly. We haven’t had any issues at all. I think we have seven site managers here with all the amount of guys that we have here today.

All the ridge cap shingles, we’re going to put four nails every ridge cap. We got our quality control checking everything. Most companies are going to put two, and that’s why you’ll see driving down the road, if you ever look at roofs, you’ll see the ridge caps blowing off. We’re just taking extra measures to ensure that doesn’t happen, so there’s no problems in the future.

To recap on this job here, we’re going to be done in about four weeks. We’ve got numerous guys on each roof system. We’re all tied off, harnesses. We actually have OSHA coming to do some of our safety meetings here. Safety is very, very important on our commercial projects.

So if anybody has any questions about your roof system, checking your roofs, or you want a free inspection, click the link below or give us a call.

FOLLOW-UP VISIT
Hey, my name’s Kevin Snyder. I’m the project manager for The Legends at Saint Johns. I’m actually with the president of the property, the HOA association, Denise. Just out here talking about the project that we’re already doing, how we found it, what product we’re using, about the timeframe it’s going to take us to actually do this. What happened is, April last year, we had a hailstorm. I live about 20 minutes away, came over here, knocked on their door. They had some hail, actually, on site. Measured it for them, offered a free inspection. They allowed me up on the roof saying they already had a leak. Did my inspection, did a test square, took pictures, brought it down, showed it to the property manager Sharon, got in touch with the board, had a meeting, met Denise, met the other board members. What we’re doing out here is going to take us about a month to two months to do this, hopefully sooner. We’re going to use Owens Corning Durations, they’re very good shingles, one of my favorites. So, Denise, how do you like working with AAA Roofmasters and RestoreMasters thus far?

DENISE (HOA ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT)
This has been a great experience. I’ve been in the industry and I’ve worked with a lot of contractors and a lot of subs, and I know the frustrations and all the problems that can come along with that, and this has been an exceptional experience. Kevin has been our point man. He’s been extremely responsive to all our needs, all our questions. Like anything, we’ve had challenges, but he has been there to support us and we’ve overcome them, and we’re here today. We’ve gotten started this week. Originally we were told it would probably be two to three months depending on the weather, and just in one week alone we have knocked it out of the park. I couldn’t be more impressed. Safety seems to be the number one concern for both of us, and they’re on top of it. Again, I could just go on and on, but I think we’ve got the message, and if I had to recommend a roofing company, these guys are it.

So, if you have any questions about the project, what we can do for you as far as services, inspections, anything like that, go ahead and reach out to us, RestoreMasters. We are a nationwide company and we’d love to help you guys out and rebuild our communities, one step at a time.
