Industrial Warehouse Roof Renovation Nets a Durable, Environmentally Friendly Cool Roof

The city of Santa Rosa, California, just 55 miles south of San Francisco, is the northern Bay Area’s largest city, and it’s home to an active commercial warehouse market. The industrial warehouse complex at 975 Corporate Center Parkway, built in 2000, is a critical hub for tenants that support the nearby Napa wine industry, construction trades, area nonprofits, and industrial clients.

Many of the tenants at the property include their corporate offices in their warehouse spaces, meaning a watertight, durable and long-lasting roof is of the utmost importance.

When the roof required renovation, Watson Companies Inc. stepped in to tackle the job. 

Family-owned and operated Watson Companies Inc. has been installing and servicing commercial roofing systems since 1978. While the firm has seen many changes in construction and solved many roofing problems over the years, one thing has remained the same – its commitment to finding the best roofing solution for the job.

​Watson Companies has new construction, re-roofing/roof replacement, service, and maintenance divisions, and the Watson team installs and services all types of roofing systems, including cool roof, single-ply, built-up, modified bitumen, tile, shake, coatings, sheet metal, metal roofing, and below-grade waterproofing.  The firm’s estimators have over 140 years combined experience, and its foremen each have an average of 16 years of roofing experience.

Technical Solution

For the Santa Rosa project, Watson Companies partnered with Polyglass USA to implement a silicone roof coating system, renowned for its durability, environmental friendliness, and waterproofing capabilities. This approach not only extended the roof’s lifespan but also ensured minimal disruption to the building’s tenants.

Installation Process

Surface Preparation for Silicone Coatings

The existing roof was power washed to remove debris and ensure proper adhesion for subsequent layers. This step was crucial in preventing future coating issues and ensuring a clean surface for the primer and coatings.

Granulated Cap Sheet Application

A built-up roof (BUR) granulated cap sheet was installed, providing an additional protective layer and increasing the roof’s durability. This layer also enhanced the roof’s resistance to weather elements and mechanical wear.

Primer Application

PolyBrite 98, a water-based, one-part primer and bleed blocker, was spray-applied to enhance adhesion between the cap sheet and the silicone coating. This primer ensured a uniform bond, reducing the risk of delamination over time.

Penetration Sealing

PolyBrite 93, a silicone flashing compound, was used to seal roof penetrations, ensuring a watertight seal that accommodates thermal expansion and contraction. This step addressed areas around vents, pipes, and other penetrations that are prone to leaks.

Final Silicone Roof Coating

PolyBrite 90.1, a premium-grade, high-solids, moisture-cure silicone coating, was applied with a roller to form a seamless, reflective membrane. This coating protects against ultraviolet radiation and other environmental exposures while reducing roof surface temperatures. Its high reflectivity contributes to energy savings by lowering cooling demands for tenants.

Project Benefits

  • Longevity and Performance: The system includes a 20-year warranty on labor and materials, offering peace of mind to the building owner.
  • Energy Efficiency: The cool roof reflects solar heat, reducing tenants’ cooling costs and improving indoor comfort.
  • Environmental Responsibility: Silicone coatings are VOC-compliant and minimize environmental impact, aligning with California’s stringent environmental standards.

Partnership Excellence

Hayden Rabideau of Watson Companies highlighted the exceptional collaboration with Polyglass USA: “Polyglass ensured timely material delivery, allowing us to meet project deadlines. Their thorough pre-inspections and ongoing support were invaluable, making them a critical partner in our success.”

The collaboration went beyond material supply. Polyglass provided technical expertise during the planning and installation phases, ensuring the selected system met the facility’s specific needs. This level of support underscores the importance of manufacturer-contractor partnerships in delivering high-quality roofing solutions.

Polyglass’s commitment to quality, from product innovation to customer support, exemplifies the value of strong partnerships in achieving outstanding project outcomes.

Challenges and Solutions

The primary challenge for Watson Companies was managing the tight timeline while ensuring material availability. “Our biggest challenge has always been time working against us when starting a new project, especially ensuring materials are delivered on schedule,” Rabideau shared. Polyglass’s proactive approach to logistics ensured the project started on time, avoiding costly delays.

Weather conditions also posed risks during installation. The team’s meticulous preparation and adherence to best practices ensured the coatings were applied under optimal conditions, guaranteeing long-term performance.

Gulf-Front Condo Building Receives the Roofing Solution It Needed, Right on Time

The Silver Sands condominiums in St. Pete Beach, Florida, feature a gated, secure community with top-notch amenities, including two Gulf-side heated pools with spas, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center, clubhouse, and even a billiards room.

In other words, it’s a premium location that requires a premium roof to keep homeowners safe and satisfied.

So, with the Florida storm season approaching and a damaged roof on one of the condo buildings quickly diminishing, it was time to act.

That’s when Hendrick Roofing Inc. and Polyglass USA stepped in to save the day.

Family-owned Hendrick Roofing has over 50 years of experience in the roofing industry and has earned the respect of customers and their industry peers. From new and replacement roofs to maintenance and repairs, Hendrick Roofing has a successful track record with residential and commercial roofing projects, large and small. Their specialties include tile, metal, and flat roofing, and they’re an A+ rated member of the Better Business Bureau.

The condo client was seeking a No Dollar Limit (NDL) warranty – the highest level of warranty you can get for a commercial roof – meaning that for the entire term of the warranty, the manufacturer will cover the full cost of repairs or even a complete replacement of the roofing system if there’s a failure due to defective materials or poor workmanship.

The new roofing materials were being installed on a Lightweight Concrete Deck (LWC) – a mixture of concrete and a lightweight aggregate that makes it lighter than traditional concrete, while still providing good insulation, fire resistance, and wind uplift performance – so only top-notch products would do.

That’s why Hendrick Roofing selected Polyglass Modifleece, a fleece-backed Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) modified bitumen roofing membrane base sheet for use in multi-ply, low-slope roofing systems. Using a unique laminating process, a specially formulated dual compound is integrated into the polyester fabric to create a monolithic bond between the two components.

The self-adhered side laps are protected with a release film, which is removed at the time of application, exposing the aggressive self-adhered SBS compound, which provides immediate watertight seams.

Polyflex G, a plastomeric granulated cap sheet for use in low-slope and flat roofing systems and specially designed for heat-welded applications, was applied next. Polyflex G incorporates a superior non-woven polyester reinforcement, which provides flexibility and dimensional stability as well as exceptional tear and puncture resistance.

The proprietary APP compound and durable construction provide long-term weathering performance. The top surface is granulated while the bottom surface has a factory-applied burn-off film and features Polyglass’ patented FASTLap® for granule-free end laps. FASTLap provides greater ease and speed of application, as well as an improved long-term watertight seal.

Despite the time pressure and the need to use top-notch materials, Hendrick Roofing’s expertise and Polyglass USA’s world-class products, such as the modified bitumen roofing system, meant the roof replacement was completed in three weeks – and included a 25-year roof warranty and a 5-year labor warranty!

Today, both the roof and its longevity are appreciated by condo owners.

“Our partnership with Polyglass has been instrumental in delivering high-quality results for our clients. The Modifleece mod bit roofing system performed exceptionally on this project – it adhered beautifully and provided a clean, watertight finish we can stand behind,” shared Danielle Hendrick of Hendrick Roofing.
