The existing roof system at St. Mary’s of Providence was a combination of a flat and sloped roof. Both were aging but there were problems with ice damming on the sloped roof because of the lack of insulation and ventilation.

We provided a vented nail-base insulation and new asphalt shingles & flashings. The flat roof was a complete tear off with new insulation and a Versico 80 ml TPO fully adhered membrane. The new roof system not only corrected the ice damming on the sloped roof, but each new system improved the energy efficiency of the building by moderating the temperature of the entire roof.
