Arizona Schoolhouse Receives a New Roof Made to Look Just Like the Original From 1921
Case Study: The Roosevelt, an important Tucson landmark now owned by Pima Community College, has seen several renovations over the years, most recently involving a major reroof. All of the existing tile had to come off intact and be saved for reapplication. Then, a new tile underlayment had to be installed and a new surface applied on the low-slope portion of the roof so the old tile could be reattached.
Custom Roofing took on this project and was led by Bob Hill, who noted the building’s problem areas. “Some decking areas were rotten and had to be replaced completely. Other areas we were able to repair. There was a courtyard area that butted up against a brick wall that needed a lot of attention,” Hill said.
