Four Steps to an Impeccable Condo Roof

The Ramona Villas condominiums in Palm Springs, California, is a secure, 104-unit project located in the heart of the historic and popular Warm Sands neighborhood. The community features a pool, spa, clubhouse with a gym and place to entertain, and a tennis court. This popular condo property is just a short walk or bike ride to the center of the Palm Springs Village, with its fabulous array of restaurants, shops, and galleries, and major shopping areas.

At Ramona Villas, RB Roofing, using proven Polyglass USA products, installed a new high-solid roof coating system that provides superior durability and significantly enhances the roof’s water resistance. This advanced solution ensures a longer-lasting roof, reducing maintenance needs and contributing to greater sustainability. The enhanced performance of the new roofing system marks a significant improvement over previous solutions that were used for the condo roof.

The project was not without challenges, but by partnering, RB Roofing and Polyglass were able to solve the most significant issue: the lack of cleanliness. Polyglass’s PolyClean product delivered exceptional results, ensuring a spotless and well-prepared surface that set the rest of the reroofing project up for success. 

Here’s how the magic happened:

  • The roof deck of the existing roofing system was power washed and then cleaned with PolyClean™ concentrate, and wet and damaged areas were removed and replaced.
  • Repairs to the old roof were made using PolyBrite® 72 Elastomeric Flashing Compound, which was uniformly applied at 1⁄8″ (125 mils) up to 1⁄4″ (250 mils) thick, using a brush, trowel, putty knife, or bulk sealant gun (Albion® DL-45-01 or equivalent).
  • For the top coat, PolyBrite® 71-HS bleed-blocking premium grade elastomeric roof coating was applied at a rate of 24 wet mils (1.5 gallons per 100 square feet maximum) per coat.
  • And for the roof details, PolyBrite® 73 Elastomeric Flashing Compound was applied at 1⁄8″ (125 mils) up to 1⁄4″ (250 mils) in a thick uniform application, using a brush, trowel, putty knife, or bulk sealant gun (Albion® DL-45-01 or equivalent).

The outcome: A roof that can withstand any weather, has a long life, and meets the utmost safety requirements for the building owner and residents.  

Overall, RB Roofing’s Ryan Bond says the Polyglass system stands out due to its superior warranty, not to mention the exceptional customer service that embodies Polyglass USA’s commitment to excellence. “More importantly, Polyglass products are uniquely engineered to withstand harsh environmental elements, providing unparalleled durability and reliability that surpasses competitor systems,” Bond said.

“At RB Roofing LLC, our commitment to excellence is unwavering, and our partnership with Polyglass allows us to uphold the highest standards in the industry,” Bond added. “The Polyglass USA team played a crucial role in streamlining the procurement process, ensuring timely delivery, and maintaining high standards for all received products. Their efficiency and commitment significantly contributed to the success of our project. We deeply appreciate Polyglass’s dedication to quality and innovation, which aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver superior roofing solutions.”

A Safe, Reliable Option for Luxury Oceanside Condos

The Bay Princess condominiums in Ocean City, Maryland, attract vacationers who appreciate luxury accommodations with pool and bay views just a short walk from the beach. But like all beachside buildings, the site can take a beating from ocean and bay storms, making a reliable, waterproof roof critical for safe and efficient access for guests as well as maintenance and service tasks.

So, when The FA Taylor Company was hired to replace the roof at Bay Princess and found a built-up gravel application with minimal insulation, the team knew it needed a trusted partner that could deliver high-quality products to upgrade the roof’s thermal resistance ability (R-value), its overall quality, and its resistance to water and fire.

The solution: A collaboration with Polyglass USA, a leading manufacturer of modified bitumen roofing and waterproofing membranes and roof coatings for low- and steep-slope applications.

At Polyglass, we provide a diverse selection of SBS base/interply and cap sheet options, allowing you to design multi-ply SBS roofing systems tailored to any project requirements. By utilizing two or more layers of SBS membranes, the finished Polyglass roof assembly, when combined with insulation and other roofing components, forms a fully integrated roofing system.

For over 85 years, The FA Taylor Company has been the go-to provider of top-quality commercial roofing services for the design community, general contractors, and owners involved in new construction projects throughout Maryland’s Delmarva Peninsula. A comprehensive commercial roofing and sheet metal contracting firm, The FA Taylor Company offers a broad range of services, including roof replacements, repairs, new construction, and maintenance.

What sets The FA Taylor Company apart in the roofing industry is its unwavering dedication to quality craftsmanship, meticulous attention to detail, and laser focus on customer satisfaction. Throughout every project, they prioritize transparency, communication, and integrity, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.

The FA Taylor Company’s Matthew Taylor knew that Polyglass USA’s self-adhered products would be a perfect fit for the Bay Princess project because the products help the team complete work promptly – a critical issue when working in an area where storms from the bay or ocean can roll in at any time. And Polyglass Elastoflex SA V Polar Base® sheet and Polyglass Elastoflex SA P Polar Cap® sheet allowed the FA Taylor team to install more square feet each day and be confident in the system’s ability to remain watertight in low-temperature application settings.

With all of these parameters in place, the FA Taylor team:

  • Installed a concrete roof deck.
  • Added Polyglass PG 100 primer to promote adhesion of the self-adhesive membrane.
  • Applied the PolyFlex base sheet, a modified bitumen roofing membrane reinforced with a nonwoven polyester mat, to provide flexibility, dimensional stability, and tear and puncture resistance.
  • Applied a layer of 4-inch ISO set it Type IV Hot Asphalt.
  • Applied one-quarter inch per foot tapered insulation set up Hot Asphalt.
  • Applied one-half inch of Dens Deck Prime.
  • Added two layers of Polyglass Elastoflex SA V Polar Base, an elastomeric base ply low-slope roofing membrane.
  • And applied one layer of Polyglass SA Polar Cap, a self-adhered, Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) granulated cap sheet for low-slope roofing.

With the roof renovation nearly complete, all vent pipes and equipment stands were then flashed with PolyFlash 1C, a one-component, moisture-cure silane-modified polyurethane white flashing compound, and walk pads were installed around the service sides of all HVAC units.

This total solution has improved the building’s energy efficiency and helped reduce utility costs. Plus, the self-adhered membranes create a strong, uniform bond with the substrate due to their proprietary self-adhesive compound, ensuring long-lasting performance and durability. The mechanically fastened installation method was also used for some of the roofing products.

The pros at The FA Taylor Company say the Bay Princess project is an example of roofing precision and excellence that featured highly efficient installation and minimal downtime for the property manager and condo users. Plus, the project comes with The FA Taylor Company’s comprehensive warranty, ensuring customer satisfaction. The decision-making process for replacing the new roof was carefully considered to ensure long-term benefits.

The client, Connor Braniff of Braniff Property Management was thrilled with the outcome. “I’ve been working with Matt Taylor of The FA Taylor Company for years and have always been impressed with their workmanship and the quality of the Polyglass products,” Braniff said.

The SBS modified bitumen roofing products used in the project provided excellent performance. The advantages of SBS-modified bitumen roofing for low-slope roofs include enhanced flexibility and durability.

Rehabilitating a Crown Jewel in Fort Worth

Bass Performance Hall in Forth Worth, Texas, is the crown jewel of a city that’s home to the third largest cultural district in the U.S. It’s also an important symbol in one of the most successful downtown revitalization efforts in the country.

Which is why when it came to putting a new roof on this high-profile project, every aspect had to be just so. Enter Zenith Roofing & Waterproofing and Polyglass USA – partners in rehabilitating this iconic live event venue.

With over 40 years of experience and a history of giving back to the community, Zenith brought its mantra of “Reputable, Relational, Restorative” to the project. And Polyglass USA brought its proven Polystick MTS PLUS product – along with impeccable service from representative Dylan Homa.

Overcoming Challenges to Bring Back the Shine

Due to the location of the hall and the fact that scheduled performances were taking place, the Zenith team had to get creative when it came to removing construction materials. The venue could not be fully shut down, nor could the surrounding streets.

With a little ingenuity, the team used a hoist to lower materials into a construction dumpster and haul it away immediately.

The fact that there was only a single route in and out of the building, and security required personnel to work in pairs, every move had to be strategically planned to make the most of the team’s time and efforts.

Of course the hall’s high-profile nature and its valued guests meant that the new roof had to be visually appealing and water tight.

Outstanding Referral and Award-Winning Work

In the end, the project was a resounding success, leading to this comment from Zenith’s Blaine Sibby: “Dylan Homa is a true asset to the Zenith team, and I am glad that he is our Polyglass representative. The Polyglass is tremendous on this type of job.”

And the completed project earned a 2023 Golden Hammer award from the North Texas Roofing Contractors Association (NTRCA).

  • Materials and trash had to be placed in a construction dumpster (and removed immediately) using a hoist atop the massive hall.
  • There was a singular route for the construction team to enter and exit the building.
  • Personnel movement was restricted due to security rules, requiring extensive planning for material and tool retrieval.
