How a Roof Overlay Helped Extend the Life of a School Roof
Roof overlays are an excellent option for schools looking to extend the life of their existing roofing systems while staying within budget. By installing a new roofing membrane over a structurally sound roof, schools can avoid the expense and disruption of a complete tear-off while gaining long-term protection against the elements.
Hear directly from Seymour Community School’s Assistant Superintendent, Talmadge Reasoner, who chose Royalty to install a Duro-Last PVC overlay onto their existing roof system, saving them money and time, all while providing a roof that will last for years to come, backed by the industry’s best warranties.
The Right Roof Starts with the Right Contractor
This reroof project is a great example of why choosing the right roofing system, and the right contractor to install it, matters. First Baptist Church of Kissimmee’s seven-year-old modified bitumen roof had already experienced significant leaks, including water intrusion that required remediation in the children’s wing. Rather than simply repairing the visible problems, our team looked at the roof as a whole, identified underlying vulnerabilities, and recommended a membrane system designed to provide more reliable, continuous protection.
The right roofing solution should be based on the specific needs of your building, not a one-size-fits-all approach. An experienced contractor can help identify potential problem areas, recommend the right system, and install it correctly to minimize future maintenance and leaks. For this case, that meant eliminating pitch pans, improving parapet waterproofing, and creating a monolithic membrane system to ensure leaks would not reoccur. When it’s time to repair or replace your commercial roof, choosing the right contractor and the right roofing system can make all the difference.
Award-Winning Eco-Friendly Roofing
Educational and nonprofit buildings often strive to meet higher standards of environmental responsibility. Choosing materials with a lower environmental impact, such as recycled content and the ability to be recycled at the end of life, can align with these goals. In 2022, we received the Duro-Last Sustainability Project Award for our work replacing Crothersville Junior & Senior High School’s solar roof. This project posed several challenges, from the multiple types of deck material, a tight timeline, and installing solar panels for energy efficiency, but we were able to meet all these requirements without sacrificing quality.
