Pricing and What Drives It
Quoted project total: $184,535. The primary cost driver for this project was the scale of the community: pressure washing, repair, and coating a cap sheet roof system across every building on the property.
Typical published range for this project type: $150,000+.
The Situation
The property reported active leaks affecting multiple buildings across the community, tied to the age and condition of the existing cap sheet roofing.
- Active leaks reported in multiple buildings
- Roof surfaces showing blisters, cracked seams, and general wear from age
- A large community where issues needed to be addressed building by building
What Was Causing It
The identified cause was the age and deteriorating condition of the existing cap sheet roof system across the property.
How We Verified the Roof Condition
Our team verified conditions building by building and prepared each roof for coating: washing the surface, repairing damaged areas, and sealing every penetration before any coating went down.
- Pressure washed and cleaned each roof to remove dirt and debris buildup
- Cut out and repaired blistered areas of the existing roof using polyurethane foam and a 3-course repair method
- Sealed around drains, scuppers, and cracked areas with a 3-course repair using reinforcing fabric and coating
- Confirmed each roof section was dry and ready before moving to coating application
Supporting documentation included the signed proposal, several approved change orders for wall cap and parapet repairs, and a 10-year warranty certificate.
The Plan
The scope for this project called for a wash-and-recoat restoration applied consistently across every building: clean and repair the existing cap sheet roof, then apply a bleed blocker and a white silicone coating system.
Materials and Components Used
- Repair work: reinforcing fabric and coating for 3-course seam and penetration repairs
- Blister repair: polyurethane foam
- Base layer: bleed blocker, applied at 1 gallon per 100 sq ft
- Coating: white silicone roof coating, applied at 1.25 gallons per 100 sq ft with back-rolling
- Equipment mounting: new pressure-treated wood sleepers under rooftop AC units
- Detail work: new fasteners and sealant for loose wall cap metal
Step-by-Step Work
Cleaning and Prep
We pressure washed and cleaned each roof across the community, removing dirt and debris buildup and hauling away job-related debris to leave a clean surface for repair and coating.
Repair and Detail Work
We cut out and repaired blistered areas of the existing roof using polyurethane foam, then sealed drains, scuppers, and cracked areas with a 3-course repair. We also addressed related items building by building, including securing loose wall cap metal and resetting AC units on new pressure-treated wood sleepers.
Coating and Final Cleanup
Once each section was dry, we applied a bleed blocker followed by a white silicone coating at 1.25 gallons per 100 sq ft, detailing carefully around every penetration, rooftop unit, and parapet wall. We cleaned downspouts, cleared debris, and issued final documentation once all buildings were complete.
Results
After completion, the community had a consistent, sealed roof system across every building: cleaned and repaired cap sheet roofing covered by a uniform white silicone coating designed to stop the leaks that had been reported.
The property received a 10-year workmanship warranty from Five Guys Roofing, including free yearly inspections.
