Western Specialty Contractors Installs New Roof, Removes Skylights at Office Building
ST. LOUIS, Mo. — Western Specialty Contractors – Peoria, Ill. branch was recently contracted by Jim Maloof Realty in Peoria to install a new roof on its commercial office building, plus remove and box-in existing skylights with HVAC penetrations.
A portion of the building’s roof (16,700 sq. ft) was barrel-shaped and featured a modified roofing system that had been directly adhered to a wood deck. Due to the extent of the roof’s deterioration and leaking, Western’s crews recommended applying a new TPO mechanically fastened roof on top of the existing one, replacing the gutters, installing TPO wall flashing, and removing and infilling the old skylights with HVAC penetrations. A TPO fully-adhered roof was recommended for the building’s flat concrete roof section (4,000 sq. ft).
