Cleveland Roofers Repair Church – East Side
One of our long-time customers contacted us because they had a leak. This church roof was reaching the end of its utility. They knew they could contact their most trusted Cleveland roofers, Reader Roofing, to get the job done right.
Assessing the Situation
One of our owners, Mike Reader, was the sales rep who responded to this call. It was immediately apparent that the age of this roof was a serious factor. The 90lb rolled roofing had already been repaired in many places. Some of the seams had been resealed throughout the years. It was decided that the old roof simply needed replaced.
Other features around the roof were in need of repair too. The old steel gutters were in need of attention. Some of the masonry was beginning to crumble and needed tuckpointing. Since Reader Roofing was going to be working on the building, it was economical to address these needs at the same time. Our Cleveland Roofers had their work cut out for them.
Putting All Our Skills to the Test
This was a comprehensive roofing job. It was a complete tear-off and replacement of the roof, all of the gutters needed replaced and much of the masonry was to be worked on.
The first step was removing the old 90lb rolled roofing along with the rest of the roofing system. Wheel barrows were used to carry the debris to the edge of the roof. Thankfully, the decking was in good shape. This meant that our roofing team could get right to installing the new roof.
The new roofing system incorporated a Certainteed 30-year architectural shingle. This shingle was used on the old sanctuary where the slope was high enough to permit it. New flashing and counter-flashing was installed along the parapet wall. You will also notice in the pictures a generous application of “ice guard”. This ensures that ice dams do not cause problems in the winter.
The end result is a roof that will provide years of trouble-free protection from the elements.
