Project Summary

Solution
A fully occupied office/warehouse property was operating on a roof system that had reached the end of its usable life. Recurring leaks, weather-related deterioration, membrane fatigue, and localized ponding water had triggered years of patch repairs and ongoing maintenance costs. Highland had been working with ownership for approximately three years as they evaluated repair, restoration, and replacement options. Highland recommended and installed a Western Colloid FARR (Fabric-Reinforced Roofing) system: a seamless, fully reinforced fluid-applied roofing system engineered to renew the existing roof without the cost, debris, and disruption of a full tear-off, while preserving uninterrupted tenant operations.
Results
The primary execution challenge was completing the work on a fully occupied light industrial and office facility while coordinating around active rooftop cellular equipment and mechanical units. Highland's five-person crew sequenced the installation around tenant operations and critical equipment, ensuring no interruption to building operations or cellular service. The client received a fully reinforced fabric reinforced fluid applied roofing system that resolved the long-standing leak and maintenance issues, restored long-term waterproofing performance, and improved the building's energy efficiency. Ownership received a 15-year manufacturer-issued no-dollar-limit material and labor warranty, and the client expressed strong satisfaction with both the installation process and the finished roofing system.
