Rusty and leaking metal roof is now leak-free...

Contractor:  Northern Michigan Metal Roofing
Name of Project:  Gerrish-Higgins School (Roscommon School District)
Location:  Roscommon, Michigan
System Installed:  Elasta-Gard M

Scope of Work:  Turn a leaking, rusted metal roof into leak-free and sustainable roof system.

Project Overview:
The winters in Michigan can be tough on roofs and the Roscommon School District had a decision to make with the roof on the Gerrish-Higgins School, tear-off the rusted and leaking 9,800 square foot metal roof and replace it, or look for a better, sustainable alternative.  They found it with NEOGARD’s Elasta-Gard M urethane roof system.  Jim Rogers, NEOGARD’s Midwest Regional Manager and Corey Crandall, the local NEOGARD rep, explained the process, features and benefits of the fluid-applied roof system.  Authorized Direct Bond roofing applicator, Northern Michigan Metal Roofing, was selected install the Elasta-Gard M system.

The entire roof was power washed and cleaned with a low pH, environmentally friendly cleaner and power tooled with a wire bush assembly to remove the surface scale and rust.  The roof was then primed with Ureprime HS2 primer, all horizontal seams were sealed with NEOGARD’s flashing tape and the vertical flashings received a treatment of NEOGARD’s polyurethane sealant.

Once preparation was complete, the Elasta-Gard M system was installed.  The pictures demonstrate how a leaking and rusting metal roof has been turned into a leak-free, seamless, warranted and sustainable system that will last the owners for many years with minimal maintenance requirements.

Permathane II FR saves Owner money...

Contractor:  RNC Contracting
Name of Project:  Impact Solutions #3
System installed:  Permathane II FR

Scope of Work:  Total remediation of an existing SPF with Acrylic topcoat that was only 2 ½ years old.

Project Overview:
When the owner of Impact Solutions approached RNC Contracting, he was looking for more than a new roof, but guidance and technical advice as well.  Robert Nelson owner of RNC Contracting immediately fulfilled that request with a prompt visit to the jobsite in Lansing, Michigan where the dwelling stood.  It didn’t take Robert long to realize that the current, intact roofing system was the perfect candidate for a NEOGARD Permathane II FR system.  The standing acrylic looked rough, but the substrate and insulation was in salvageable condition.  The project from start to finish (prep included) took only 4 days to complete.  The end result was a sustained roofing application from NEOGARD, no disruption to the business, a roof that has been transformed into a preventative maintenance approach, a system that saved the owner money on his budget, and the opportunity to now do business with a company that has multiple buildings in the surrounding area!!  The owner is thoroughly happy with his choice and the professional technical support, and consulting that he received from RNC Contracting (Robert Nelson) and Midwest Regional Manager for roofing (Jim Rogers).
