C.I. Services, Inc. is a Mission Viejo, California-based commercial/industrial roofing company that has gained statewide notoriety over the past three decades for their high-quality commercial roofing installation, maintenance, and repair services. In recent years, C.I. Services has also expanded into providing solar roof solutions, solidifying their reputation as an industry-leading surface support company for the southern California region.
When Lereta, LLC, a property tax and flood services company, needed a roof restoration for their headquarters in Pomona, C.I. Services was their contractor of choice. Naturally, C.I. Services turned to Polyglass products to ensure a quality restoration.
Project Needs and Challenges
The Lereta roofing project consisted of an aging Sarnafil PVC roof – 500 squares in total. C.I. Services determined that a quality silicone roof coating would restore the integrity of the roof. To meet the requirements of a 15-year warranty, C.I. Services chose to install PolyBrite single-ply primer and PolyBrite 90.1 Silicone at a rate of two gallons per square foot.
“This project was very straightforward,” says C.I. Services General Manager Marcus Clinco. “We pressure washed the roof, primed with the single-ply primer and sprayed the silicone in one pass. We actually even purchased a new Graco 933 spray rig specifically for this project so we could spray silicone.”
Despite their confidence in Polyglass products, the contractors wanted to be doubly certain of the results, which is why they made sure to do a field adhesion test.
“This was the first-ever Polyglass project installed over worn PVC using the PolyBrite Primer,” says Clinco. “Polyglass rep Dan Gentile came out and did pull tests, and we even cut out a sample of the old roof membrane and gave it to him so he could send it back to Florida for further testing.”
