A historic commercial building in Strawberry Mansion was recently plagued by persistent roof leaks, mold, and energy loss. Philly Roofing LLC was brought in to assess and execute a full flat roof overhaul. After identifying several failed patches and pooling water, our team developed a phased plan to completely restore the roofing system.
We stripped down to the substrate, repaired structural decking, and installed high-R insulation board to reduce heat loss. On top, we laid a TPO membrane with heat-welded seams, ensuring durability and water resistance. The new roof not only eliminated leaks but improved thermal efficiency by over 30%.
Additional upgrades included re-routing internal drains, installing edge flashing, and applying reflective coating to combat summer heat. Our team worked swiftly, minimizing business downtime and keeping the project under budget.
Roofing in South Philly, Kensington, and Center City presents unique challenges, from building access to historic restrictions. That’s why working with certified, insured roofing pros like us is critical.
