CARROLLTON, DENTON COUNTY, TX: HAIL DAMAGE ROOF REPLACEMENT

In Carrollton, Denton County, TX we replaced a hail damaged roof.  This was a residential roof system which included a commercial typical flat roof system.  We removed the hail damaged double ply roof system and hauled it away.  We then repaired damaged decking and made substantial carpentry repairs to the structural rafters and joists.  Once the significant preparation work was completed we proceeded to install the new energy efficient roof system.  We installed ISO rigid insulation.  We then installed a highly reflective, 60 mil TPO cap sheet system.  We flashed the walls, chimney, gutters, transitions and A/c system.  The finished Energy Star rated roof system will save our client on monthly energy costs.  We assisted our client in closing out their hail damage claim and recovering their depreciation.

DALLAS, DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS: 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.

FRISCO, COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS: Garage and carport addition with loft expansion

At this recent project we removed the roof & framing above the entire existing house structure.  We built a garage & carport addition onto the rear of the existing structure.  We then framed the entire new continuous roof structure and installed a new roof system.  We added functional dormers to the attic and decked the floor.  We added 3,200 usable square feet to the structure through our attic construction.  The carport & garage area provides 1,800 square feet of secure storage space for our client.  We cleaned all of the resulting demolition debris and hauled it from the site.  Our client had an insurance claim attached to the fence & the roof due to wind/hail damage.  We were able to assist our client in the processing of their insurance claim.  To finish the project we installed James Hardie lap siding, fascia & continuously vented soffit.  The client was very pleased that we were able to maximize his structure to the point that an office and 3 bedrooms can be added.

FRISCO, TX: Energy Efficiency and Roofing

We replaced 20 year three tab shingles with 30 year laminated dimensional weathered wood shingles which are also much less likely to be blown off. This subdivision is located next to a large open field and many homes with 20 year shingles are missing shingles. The client had to have blown off shingles replaced almost once a year and the upgrade in shingles will eliminate this problem. 

All attic ventilation was improved with the addition of the wind turbines we added. The turbines paired with soffit vents that the house was already equipped with will create a draft in attic and remove the hot summer air from the home. The project also required repairs around the chimney and other locations where siding was worn by hail and squirrel damage. All gutters were replaced and leaf screen was installed on one side where a large oak tree is problematic. To complete this project, all damaged window screens were replaced and a bank of east facing windows were upgraded to Low E windows which are highly reflective to the sun and keep the dining room comfortable throughout the day.
