Before, During & After: Flat Roof Replacement in Richmond, VA

Can you spot the before-and-after difference?
When a flat roof fails, the damage doesn’t stay quiet.
Byrd Property Management reached out after one of their Richmond tenants noticed water damage—and possibly the beginnings of mold—on the second floor. RETEX’s Chris Spahr went out on October 7 to assess the flat roof above the damage and discovered it was improperly installed: There was a flat roof installed over a shingle roof, and both were failing.
Two weeks later, RETEX’s Repair Team Alpha removed two layers of the old roof and replaced them with a properly installed flat TPO membrane on the low-slope roof.
