Intro
In 2024, West Roofing Systems completed a full roof restoration at the Parma Police Station & Justice Center in Parma, Ohio. We replaced the existing EPDM roofing system with high-performance spray foam and coatings, delivering a durable and energy-efficient roof that comes with a 20-year renewable, non-prorated warranty.
Project Challenges
- The existing EPDM membrane had aged and was failing
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane was compromising thermal performance
- Gravel ballast and weather exposure caused surface wear and degradation
- Roof penetrations and lighting protection systems needed secure reinstatement
Our Solution
- Removed existing EPDM membrane and gravel ballast
- Removed and replaced any wet insulation found under the roof deck
- Installed ½-inch fiberboard over the insulation for a level substrate
- Removed old lightning rod protection (for reinstatement)
- Applied 1.5-inch spray polyurethane foam uniformly across the roof surface
- Applied 15 mils of basecoat followed by 15 mils of topcoat silicone coating
- Embedded granules into the topcoat for UV protection and improved durability
- Installed walkways around roof penetrations to provide safe access
- Reinstalled the lightning rod protection system after roofing is complete
Warranty Coverage
- Roof System: 20-Year Full System Warranty – Non-Prorated (NPR), No-Dollar-Limit (NDL), Renewable
Project Results
- A restored roof with upgraded thermal performance and waterproofing
- Uniform protective coating system over a sound substrate
- Longevity increased significantly over the old EPDM roof
- Reduced future maintenance, fewer leaks, and improved building envelope protection
