3 Years New, Roof Shot Already--:)

[Dale Duffy]

Today's 6,000 Sq. Ft. fiasco-------------




Three years old and the freaking roof is shot----...scrap 15lb - - Torched-Down---










Parapet Wall at center where AC Units are, scupper to other portion of roof, material cracked in the center of the scupper (seam)...Leaking (only when it rains)---





.............

[Dale Duffy]

Oops----

[Larry D. Kage]

Crazy huh?....damn crap they toss together, unreal---

That roof should of lasted at least 7 years before it needed to be sealed with a reflective roof coating (in AZ anyway)....just lasted a year beyond the builders warranty....I have no idea who did all the butcher-patching-------

Well the buyer certainly saved the cost of the inspection in roof repairs alone, so he is happy----

Was going to tell you to let the Mexicans down at Home Depot that spackle goes on walls and ceilings...NOT on the roof.

I hope you solicited the same building next door, I bet it might have the same roofing conditions.

You would think that someone could have come up with a decent way to cover flat roofs, that will last at least 20 years. I guess they don't make money like that. Personally, I would never build anything with a flat roof to start with. Dale, you could be a Billionaire, here in Atlanta, with the heat and all of the rain we get.

Oh good lord is that funny----

When I brought this up with the facilities dude he said they like it and take care of it.

On the 'newer' addition the ballast was so thick someone may suffocate like in quicksand.

Wow..I have never seen a roof here with stone ballast like that---

The rocks would be so hot from the sun the tar would liquefy----

Leaking already my friend after six months. Since the building is near O'hare, they may want to use this roof as a runaway plane ramp like a runaway truck ramp in the mountains.
