Project Planning:

Timing: Our focus was ensuring that once the other trades were ready for our crews, that we could keep the building watertight for the duration of the project.  Our project manager and supervisor developed strategies that allowed us to follow directly behind the carpenters and dry the new roof substrate with roofing materials as soon as the new wood was in place.  Using very high quality ice guard and synthetic underlayment, instead of standard grade materials and felt were essential to executing this plan.

Ventilation: Providing adequate and balanced ventilation to such a large structure with so many activities that can change temperature and humidity levels from room to room was very challenging.  Working with different manufacturers we were able to develop a natural ventilation system that meets and exceeds the industry standards.

Water Drainage:  Because the the large flat roof is surrounded on all four sides by a large parapet wall, we realized that the flat roof system would need to sloped to internal drainage systems.  Working around large kitchen and HVAC units required us to build additional water drainage saddles to ensure that the new roof would not hold water.

Additional Work:  Once the new Presidential Shake roof was in place the board decided that the surrounding buildings needed updating as well.  In addition to the new clubhouse roof, we also installed new roofs on the pool house, caddie shack, and tennis building.  The pool house roof also featured new copper pan seam barrel roofs that are pictured below.

Project Outcome:

The final product at Lakewood Country Club far exceeded our expectations.  The new building features a traditional and elegant feel that has already been featured in the highly esteemed Properties Magazine.  This new roof should also create an ora of confidence that it was done correctly and fully guaranteed against material, labor, and workmanship failure for the next 25 years!
