To begin with, in 2001 the Boyle family acquired United States Tent Rental, starting with just a few tents, tables, chairs, and an old, rundown truck. Through sheer determination, hard work, and a strong focus on quality, they turned this small rental venture into one of Florida’s largest event rental firms on the West Coast. Fast forward to 2007, and the company made a significant move to a fresh 20,000 sq. ft. facility in Sarasota, Florida, catering to a clientele of over 1,000 customers annually. Then, in 2015, they made another leap by purchasing a sprawling 75,000 sq. ft. office/warehouse. This new location has allowed US Tent Rental to effectively double its office and showroom space, reflecting their commitment to expansion and superior service. However, after the large facility was introduced, the requirement for professional warehouse roof repair and maintenance was brought to attention.
Henceforth, US Tent Rental enlisted the expertise of Troyer Commercial Roofing to address roof issues plaguing their expansive 75,000-square-foot facility. Leaks at screws and seams prompted urgent repair needs. Employing the Conklin Metal roof system (MR System), Troyer Commercial Roofing meticulously executed a comprehensive six-step process to revitalize the roof’s integrity and performance.
This specialized system, renowned for its durability and efficacy, provided a reliable solution to combat leaks and enhance weather resistance. Troyer Commercial Roofing’s skilled technicians meticulously applied each step of the MR System, ensuring thorough coverage and lasting results. As a result, US Tent Rental’s new 75,000-square-foot facility now boasts a robust and resilient roofing system, safeguarding the interior from future water intrusion and fortifying the structure against the elements. Along with this new roofing system, Troyer provided US Tent Rental with a 20-year warranty on materials and workmanship.
As the initial step in the warehouse roof repair process, the roof was diligently pressure washed to remove debris and rust buildup, ensuring a clean surface for subsequent treatments. This thorough cleaning effectively eliminated contaminants, such as dirt and oxidation, from the roof’s surface, preparing it for optimal adhesion of subsequent coatings. By removing rust and other impurities, the pressure washing step facilitated improved coating adhesion, enhancing the overall effectiveness and longevity of the roof repair project.
To reinforce the roof’s integrity, all seams were meticulously taped both vertically and horizontally. This step involved applying specialized tape along the seams, ensuring comprehensive coverage and sealing potential points of vulnerability. By meticulously taping both vertical and horizontal seams, the roofing system was fortified against water infiltration, preventing leaks and enhancing its overall resilience. This meticulous attention to detail during the taping process ensured that the roof’s seams were securely sealed, providing lasting protection against the elements and contributing to the long-term durability of the roofing system.
To enhance the structural integrity and weatherproofing of the roof, the team removed the skylights. This step eliminated potential weak points in the roofing system, reducing the risk of leaks and water intrusion. By removing the skylights, the roof’s surface was made more uniform, allowing for seamless application of subsequent coatings and treatments. Additionally, this action mitigated the risk of damage from debris or inclement weather, contributing to the long-term durability and reliability of the roofing system.
Next, all screws were meticulously caulked with lifetime caulking in a commitment to long-lasting protection. Moreover, this step ensured a secure seal around each screw, preventing water ingress and potential leaks. By using lifetime caulking, the roofing system received durable protection against the elements, enhancing its resilience and longevity. Consequently, this meticulous caulking process provided added reinforcement to the roof’s structure minimizing the risk of damage and ensuring continued performance over time.
Following caulking the screws, the team applied an encase metal primer. This effectively prepared the metal substrate, promoting optimal bonding with subsequent coatings. By applying the encase metal primer, the roofing system received enhanced protection against corrosion and weathering, prolonging its lifespan. This crucial step ensured that the subsequent coatings adhered firmly to the roof’s surface, providing lasting durability and resilience. Additionally, the primer acted as a barrier, preventing rust and oxidation, further reinforcing the roof’s structural integrity and weatherproofing capabilities.
Finally, the team applied a Puma XL top coat, sealing the roof with a durable and weather-resistant finish. This specialized coating provided an additional layer of protection against UV rays, extreme temperatures, and moisture, extending the roof’s lifespan and enhancing its performance. The Puma XL top coat ensured a seamless and uniform finish, creating a sleek and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Additionally, with its exceptional durability and weatherproofing properties, the Puma XL top coat added an extra level of resilience to the roofing system. This method of warehouse roof repair safeguards it against the elements for years to come.
