Tough project with the asphalt dust from demo , wind, and penetration details. Lots of tapered polyiso. I observed there are some seams that were not properly cleaned ( asphalt dust)and not pre welded. Lots of residual asphalt on parapets before wall sheets were hung There are a few wrinkles in the field as well. We really don’t get that on fully adhered. A few wrinkles on Mechanical fastened are okay they tighten right up quick anyway. Not being critical just my observations. Glad you dodged the weather. 👍

It was a challenging project for sure. It’s holding up well. Thank you for the input.

looks great, curious on the iso depth in that area, seems you guys use a lot

Some areas it’s 6”. We needed to add a considerable slope for drainage on this roof.

Are the air pockets/bubbles a concern?

@roofingbyballcontracting 4 ай бұрын

Great question. No they are not, as they worked themselves out with rolling and the heat from the sun.

Great job on a tough project. Wondering - why were the 5 gallon buckets staged across the entire roof? Was that part of the pre plan for coverage? Also, what is that power equipment the guy is pushing all over the gravel that couldn't be removed manually?

@roofingbyballcontracting 2 ай бұрын

I believe the buckets were used for ballast and the machine was used to cut through the layers of tar and insulation. Thanks for the input.

no forklift for the bundles of insulation on the ground? Just back labor? Lighter than I thought.

Yes, all manual at the ground. It’s light

Can this material be used on a deck on top of plywood for waterproofing?

@roofingbyballcontracting 3 ай бұрын

Yes, it actually can be. It makes a great surface for a patio deck on a roof.

I can't believe GAF passed this, wow. How on earth did they allow those wall flashings to go on old shitty tar coated walls? Those wrinkles on a Fully adhered are completely unacceptable, really is the wild west for roofing in the US.

So unsafe. 7 stories and no safety

Thank you for your input. There is a 4' tall wall around the entire building for the men's safety and there is safety below. Thanks again.

A LOT of bubbling in the TPO. Poor application and welding.
