Roof Challenge
The roof on the DPS State Building was experiencing multiple leaks that were causing visible staining to the interior of the building. After a free roof assessment RoofCARE technical advisors determined it was a perfect candidate for a commercial roof renovation.
During the roof assessment, RoofCARE found many areas of the roof that needed to be resealed. These areas consisted of gutters joints, seams, and penetrations such as the 50 windows located at the top of the roof. Many of the roof’s fasteners were found to have come loose, were missing, or in need of replacing.

Roofing Solution
A commercial roof renovation was determined to be the best solution for the DPS state building. The RoofCARE team began by setting up safety protocols and sealing all 50 windows with acrylic caulking to prevent any future roof leaks. They then tightening or replaced all fasteners depending on the condition of each fastener and followed by power washing the roof.
Once the roof was prepped an acrylex 400 primer was then applied to the entire roof at a rate of 1 gallon per 200 square feet. Followed with 3 course pipe penetrations and all vertical and horizontal seams with HydoStop foundation coat and 6” polyester fabric. All screws were then resealed with HydroStop foundation coat and Hydrocap fabric. Transitions were resealed with foundation coat 12” polyester fabric.
To complete this roof renovation the entire roof was primed, resealed and sprayed with two coats of premium white topcoat at a rate of 1 gallon per 100 square feet. The roof was then cleaned of all roofing related debris resulting in a beautiful end product.
