Project Overview
This project involved a three-story medical office building
in Scarborough, Maine. The client reached out to Master Roofers through a
referral from a long-standing property management partner in New Hampshire.
Known for our expertise in both residential and commercial roofing, we were
recommended as a trusted company capable of handling a steep-slope shingle
reroof on a large commercial structure.
The Initial Assessment
After a thorough introduction and coordination with the
property owner, we conducted both exterior and interior inspections of the
building. The roof was original to the structure and had reached approximately
30 years of age. Although it was not experiencing severe leaks or failures, the
shingles showed visible signs of wear due to prolonged exposure to sun, wind,
and coastal weather conditions.
The ventilation within the attic was still performing well,
and no structural damage or moisture problems were present. The owners had
anticipated the need for a new roof and had been preparing financially for a
replacement. Our recommendation was clear: the roof had reached the end of its
service life and required full replacement.
Project Execution
The client agreed to proceed with a complete reroof. In
addition to replacing the shingles, we also performed work on fascia boards and
flashing to ensure full system integrity.
The only challenge we faced was weather-related. The project
began during a rainy period, which required schedule adjustments. Because this
is an active medical office building, coordination with the owners and tenants
was essential. Parking areas needed to be closed temporarily for waste disposal
and staging, but thanks to clear communication, everything went smoothly.
Roofing System and Materials
The building owner chose the GAF UHDZ roofing system, a
high-quality architectural shingle that qualifies for the GAF Golden Pledge
Warranty. This level of warranty is uncommon for commercial buildings of this
type but offered significant long-term value.
As property owners managing their own portfolio, the client
saw the Golden Pledge system as a smart investment. With up to 50 years of
warranty protection, they reduced long-term maintenance costs and gained peace
of mind. Any issues with the roofing system for the next five decades will be
covered by both GAF and Master Roofers.
Final Outcome
The result was a beautifully installed roofing system with a
long-term warranty and zero immediate maintenance concerns. The property
management team was highly satisfied with the work and confident in the
durability and performance of their new roof.
Conclusion
This project is a strong example of how commercial clients
can benefit from residential-grade craftsmanship and long-term warranties when
working with a trusted roofing partner. Through thoughtful coordination,
quality materials, and strong communication, the Scarborough medical office now
has a roof system built to last well into the future.
