Commercial Roof Installation
Boyle Bros. funeral home in Framingham discovered a leak and called us to look at it. It was on the flat section of there building a rubber was installed over a tar and gravel roof. A half inch fiber board was mechanically fastened over the tar and gravel, the problem with fiber board in a go over application is it acts like a sponge and sucks up water before showing any signs of a leak.
In Boyle Bros. case the roof had been leaking for years from a hole in the rubber and until the weight of this winters snow squeezed the water from the saturated fiber board.
We stripped off the roof and installed a new rubber roof with half inch recovery board instead of fiber board. With a warranty of ten years on our labor and fifteen years on materials we included an inspect of the roof in the fall

Framingham Elks Roof Installation
The Framingham Elks needed a roof. Upon inspection of the existing roof there was a large amount of standing water it was determined that the roof was not pitched to the drains. A tapered insulation from Firestone was designed to pitch water to the drains. Not only was the roof not pitched right there was no insulation in the old roof. With the new tapered deck an average R-value of 22 was obtained bring the roof up to code. New .040 shop fabricated bronze aluminum was installed around roof edge.
Another design flaw was the HVAC duct work penetrated the roof through the shingle section was not flashed properly. We wrapped the duct work with insulation and white rubber to help with cooling in the summer.
The shingle section was stripped and shingled with GAF Timberline shingles which have a life time guarantee.
Residential Roof Replacement
This Framingham roof used CertainTeed 30 Landmark shingles nailed with 1 1/4 inch galvanized roof nails over six feet of ice and water barrier and 15 lb. tar paper.
Many roofers can install the roof adequately, but there is one part of the job that is very important that a lot of roofing contractors ignore: the clean up. After the bulk of the old shingles are removed and thrown in the dumpster, it is very important to run a magnet over the grounds to remove the loose nails, especially in the driveway. Most of the time the homeowners don’t even notice their roof, but they do know when their grounds are a mess or when somebody steps on a nail.
