Coolest Roofs Photo Contest

Shelby Moore from Spray-Tec, Inc of Shelbyville, Kentucky writes, "The University of Kentucky needed a work platform to properly maintain the W.T. Young Library's Cupola and Rotunda. Additionally, the existing Ballasted EPDM roof system was starting to show its age and became increasingly more difficult to maintain and repair. They combined the execution of these two projects with the installation of a new fluid-applied coated foam roof system. The roof project is to be completed in 2 phases, the submitted photo shows the completion of phase 1. Spray-Tec removed the existing rock ballast, performed an infrared scan, removed & replaced all wet/deteriorated roofing materials based upon the scan results, and finally, installed a new roof assembly. Once the newly fabricated aluminum I-Beam "sleepers" were installed per engineers' specifications, the entire roof was sprayed with high density foam, followed by 3 layers of urethane roof coating and silica sand. This roof system was issued a 20-year manufacturer warranty from Gaco (Holcim Solutions and Products, US)."

Marcus Clinco from CI Services, Inc. of Mission Viejo, California writes, "We installed a GAF Hydrostop 20 year restoration system on the roof this year. This is a rather iconic building located at the corner of Sunset Blvd and Crescent Heights / Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles. We installed the GAF Hydrostop system over the original charcoal colored modified bitumen roofing system. Downtown LA can be seen in the background in the upper left of the photo. Aside from being in a prime location, I was particularly excited to work on this project as I watched this building get built when it was originally constructed in the 1990's when I was a teenager and spent many weekend evenings "Cruising the Strip" with friends."

Jose Morales from Morales General Contracting, inc of Dorchester, Massachusetts writes, "This is a foto that we had to put in all the 1'’ plumbing.

Kelly Linhares-Nelson from Sika Corporation of Canton, Massachusetts writes,"Breaking Sika Global Records! The Atlantic City Convention Center skylight restoration project is the largest Sikalastic® Clearglaze installation in Sika history; 40,000 square feet of glass, mullions, skylight frames and battens. As part of the roofing structure and lighting source for this building, the atrium array of 90ft high skylights was installed in 1997 when the convention center was constructed.”

Erin Easter from Pro-Tech Products of Phoenix, Arizona writes, "A Pro-Tech Products EC100 Acrylic Elastomeric Coating restoration of a 10-year-old 1100 square sprayfoam roof. Installation performed by Tecta America of Arizona."

Aaron Vento from Sutter Roofing Company of Sarasota, Florida writes "Restores all 4 Single-Ply PVC Roofs on all 4 Domes, restored the modified roof in the middle and the 3 associated fiberglass skylights."
