A Low Slope Roof Installation Went Awry When The Contractor Deviated From The Manufacturers Installation Instructions

William Leys Waterproofing Consultants LLC Steps in to Assist The Building Owner Get the Work Corrected

A recent consult job that we had for a client who just had a new low slope roof installed on their building showed the reason that building owners should consider hiring a quality assurance inspector to ensure that the roof is installed right the first time and doesn’t have to be done over.

A client reached out to us who just had a new roof installed on their building. They had concerns about the workmanship and requested our assistance to inspect the job and document the problems with the installation. A low slope roof with a single ply TPO membrane had multiple issues with the installation.

As you can see from the photo gallery we found numerous problems with the installation. We wrote a detailed report for the client who then was able to go to the contractor and ask them to make corrections to their work. The city building department refused to sign off on the permit for the roof because of the poor workmanship and the client threatened to complain to the Contractors State License Board if the contractor did not step up and replace and repair his poor work.

All in all a happy ending for the client who had paid quite a bit of money for this roof. We would encourage anybody who is replacing a roof that’s going to cost over six figures to add a little bit more money into their budget and pay for quality assurance observations during the installation which had this client done so would have avoided this issue.
