Commercial metal and flat roof installations
Roofing Material Used: Aluminum standing seam metal; TPO membrane
Location: Downtown Norfolk, Virginia
Project Description:
For this upscale, retirement living complex, we completed a commercial roofing project that combined both standing seam metal roofing and flat membrane roofing systems to provide long-term durability and performance. For the pitched sections, we installed a new .040 aluminum standing seam metal roof in a striking Patina Green finish. To ensure a clean, weather-tight result, we fitted Dec-Tite neoprene collars around all plumbing penetrations and replaced the existing damper vents with new ones, carefully matched to the color and metal of the new roof.
At the transition to the flat roof, we installed vented ridge material at the apron cap to support proper airflow and ventilation. Along the parking lot side of the building, we added a metal rail-style snow guard system to improve safety during winter months.
The flat roof portion of the project began with a complete tear-off of the existing system. We then installed ¼-inch per foot tapered insulation to improve drainage and finished with a mechanically fastened white 60 mil TPO membrane for a clean, energy-efficient surface. As part of the upgrade, we also furnished and installed two new stainless steel access doors on the tower walls, enhancing both function and aesthetics.
In a separate flat roof replacement project on the same property, we removed the aging EPDM membrane down to the wood deck and installed new tapered polyiso insulation. This was followed by the installation of a Carlisle Apeel white 60 mil TPO roof system, also mechanically fastened. The final touch included replacing the tower’s existing access door with a new stainless steel unit.
Please note: In some of the project photos, you may notice a section of roofing in a lighter shade of green. That portion was not installed by our team.
