Commercial Construction/Wind, Hail and Snow

This week we continued our replacement of the awning in Seagoville.  The awning was damaged by wind, snow and hail.  We demolished the old awning (see previous blog posts) and reframed the new awning with steel members.  We welded and bolted the awning structure.  In places where the structure framing has been completed we have begun to install the 24 gauge structural steel panel roof system.  We will continue to frame and install the roof with an eye on finishing in a couple of weeks.

Commercial Construction/Wind, Hail and Snow

This month we began work on replacing damaged awnings at a church in Seagoville, TX.  The damaged awnings were constructed of aluminum framing and fiberglass roof panels.  The awning was unable to withstand damaging straight line winds and then sustained further damaged due to a heavy snow fall.  We have demised the existing structure and set the new posts.  Once the new posts were set we began framing the new awning structure with heavy gauge prepainted steel members.  We welded and bolted the new steel members together.  Once the framing is complete we will install the new 22 gauge structural steel roof panels.

Roofing/Commercial

This week in North Dallas, TX at I35 & Walnut Hill Lane we replaced a multi layer composition roof system for a long time client.  The roof had been damaged by wind and hail.  We assisted our client in the insurance claim process by meeting the insurance adjuster.  Once the adjuster’s estimate was agreed to we commenced the roof replacement.  The roof had two layer of composition shingles laid over wood shakes.  We removed all three layers, hauled the debris and disposed of it.  Once the old roof was out of the way we repaired several sagging, cracked and broken rafters.  The repaired rafters were then braced and supported accordingly.  Once the roof structure was stabilized and secured we installed 10” of blown in cellulose insulation.  We then replaced the deteriorated fascia and soffits.  Once the facade carpentry was repaired we primed and painted all the house exterior with premium exterior polymer paint.  We decided to paint the exterior before installing the new roof so as not to get any overspray on the new composition shingles.  Upon completion of the painting work we moved back to the roof and installed radiant barrier decking.  Once the decking was in place we installed the new felt paper and new 25 year composition shingle rood system complete with a ridge vent system.  We then cleaned the project perimeter and rolled a magnet to pick up all nails, staples etc.  The job site was left in immaculate condition and our client could not have been more impressed or happy!  We then assisted our client in filing the final insurance claim paperwork and he received his depreciation and supplement checks shortly thereafter.  Another highly successful project is in the books!

Accede Construction: Fire Damage Repair...

At the Dr.’s office fire damage repair we are making rapid progress. Now that the attic is framed we can install the roof decking and dry in the building. We are using 7/16” OSB to deck the roof surface. Once the decking is in place and renailed we will dry it in with felt paper underlayment. The roof install will be next on the docket. We will be applying 30 year laminated dimensional shingles and tying them into the undamaged portions of the remaining roof.

The Burn Repair Continued...

This week, with the new monolithic support beams in place, we began framing the attic. Some of the rafters we installed were over 30’ in length. We hoisted the new rafters into place and bolted them into place. The overall area that we are framing is 4,500 square feet. Once the rafters are in place and properly supported we will apply the roof decking substrate.
