MCKINNEY, COLLIN COUNTY, TX: Hail Damage: Roof Replacement and Insurance Claim Assistance

This week in McKinney we replaced a hail damaged residential roof.  The roof had composition shingles over wood shakes.  We removed both layers of roof shingles.  We then made carpentry repairs to various rafters & purlins.  Once the structural integrity of the roof frame had been secured we installed the new decking substrate.  Our client opted for a radiant barrier decking in order to optimize the energy efficiency of the new roof system.  Once the new decking substrate was secured we applied the 30# felt underlayment.  The shingle that we then installed was a lifetime rated dimensional composition shingle.  We ventilated the attic spaces with a continuous ridge vent system since the structure profile included several long ridges.  Upon the roof installation completion we cleaned the project perimeter & rolled a magnet throughout the grounds of the property to collect all of the fallen nails etc..  We then filed the necessary insurance claim paperwork on behalf of our client to recover the depreciation as well as a repair supplement.  The client was very happy with the finished roof installation result & is looking forward to  discounted energy expenses.

DALLAS, DALLAS COUNTY, TX: BALCONY WATERPROOFING

After building a new covered balcony for a client in Dallas, TX we set about to waterproof it.  First we taped all of the substrate decking seams, thresholds etc.  Then we installed drain scuppers to transport water from the inside of the balcony to the outside during heavy rain storms.  After that we installed angled cant strip insulation around the perimeter of the balcony & applied highly adhesive flashing tape over the perimeter cant strip and up the wall.  We then installed the EIFS wall styrofoam on the four perimeter walls & prepared to apply the base coating.  We applied the self-leveling base coat in stages – 5 gallons per coat.  Upon completion of the application of the 4^th balcony base coat application we applied another 2 coats of slope base coating.  After all of the applications cured we applied the first coat of finish.  As the first finish coat started to set up and become tacky we scatter-applied silica sand over the balcony surface and back rolled it into place with yet another coat of finish.  The silica sand will provide a surface with safety traction when wet.  The final color of the finished balcony is dark gray.  Now we have a completely waterproof balcony with a beautiful finished surface with safety traction.

FLOWER MOUND, DENTON COUNTY, TX: CONCRETE PATIO CONSTRUCTION

In Flower Mound, Denton County, TX we worked with a client to solve some serious drainage problems.  The back elevation of their home is completely exposed to the west meaning that every time a storms moves through it soaks and sometimes floods their home.  We excavated the back patio area and prepared it for a new concrete patio.  The preparation included the installation of a grade beam as well as tying steel throughout the new patio structure.  Once all of the preparation was complete we poured the new concrete.  We graded the new patio away from the house in order to drain rain water properly.  We plan to construct a fully framed patio cover structure to completely protect the home from the elements.  Once the concrete was poured and graded we broom finished the patio with a no-slip texture.
