The brief
A leaking roof over a warehouse that could not close.
An aging metal roof was letting water into the packing area during every heavy storm. The client needed a long-term fix without slowing down shipping.
Rusted fasteners, failed seams above the packing hall, and no room for a shutdown during peak season.

What we found
The inspection, in plain words.
Every finding came with photos and a clear rating, so the owners knew what had to be done now and what could wait.
Finding 01
Replace
Failed seams over the packing hall
Open laps and rusted fasteners were letting water onto the packing lines during every heavy storm.

Skylight curbs near end of life
Still sound for now. Added to the maintenance plan for a check after each storm season.

Day by day on site.
We mapped every leak with a moisture survey, then replaced the roof in overnight sections. Each section was sealed and water-tested before the morning shift arrived.

The rest of the roof in sections, with new gutters along the loading docks.
