Sharpsville Container – Spray Foam Roof Restoration & Coatings

Greg PalyaProject Profiles

Introduction

Sharpsville Container, a commercial/industrial facility, required a durable, high-performance roof restoration after its existing roof showed signs of aging and wear. West Roofing Systems implemented a spray foam roof restoration system — reinforcing the substrate, sealing penetrations, and applying protective coatings — to deliver a watertight, long-lasting roof.

Cost was the #1 issue.

To remove and replace these roof sections would’ve cost 4x more than restoring them with the spray foam roofing system.

Project Challenges

  • The existing roof had deterioration, leaks, and compromised performance
  • Transition points, roof penetrations, and edges were prone to leaks
  • Need to avoid costly full tear-off and minimize disruption
  • Ensuring proper adhesion and uniformity of coatings over the foam substrate
  • Steep slope metal roofs provided challenges with installation and safety
  • Multiple existing roofing systems provided a challenge with installation

Our Solution

  • Removed all failing or loose roof components and prepped the substrate
  • Applied spray polyurethane foam (SPF) to reinforce and level the roof surface
  • Over the foam, installed a protective coating system: base + topcoat
  • Sealed all transitions, flashing, penetrations, and edges to ensure continuity
  • Embedded granules into the topcoat
