Large Commercial Asphalt Shingled Roof
New Pond Village, an over 55 community in Walpole, needed a new roof so they called in Robert Evans Jr Contracting. The project encompassed stripping and replacing 500 square of shingles and had to function around the daily workings of its residents and staff as well as protecting the grounds.
The first year we completed Phase 1 of the retirement home that consisted of “A” & “B” buildings {approx. 475 Sq. }. The old roof was to be striped and replaced with CertainTeed Landmark 30 shingles which now have a life time warranty. At the request of the owners Grace Ice and Water was to be used. On top of doing the roof the dog house dormer were to be striped and ice and water barrier installed behind the clapboard siding. New step flash was to be installed around the dormers. Around a several of the vents the plywood had to be replaced due to rot. At the peaks, Cobra ridge vent was used. The project went smoothly without damage to the well manicured grounds or inconveniences to the residents and staff.
This 3 story complex required high safety standards including safety harness for every installer on roof surface, hard hats and safety goggles for ground workers and spotters. Each section of roof being worked on was caution taped on ground level and a safety spotter for the safety of elderly residents entering and leaving building.
Phase 2 of the retirement home was completed a year later. Phase 2 consisted of Building “C” {approx. 275 Sq}. This building presented some challenges of a main front entry way with heavy traffic of residents coming and going. Safety was top priority on this section. The crew was highly cautious of falling debris around entry way and to maintain the area swept clean of all nails and debris. Phase 3 ,Remaining Buildings to be done next year.
