A HISTORY OF STORM-RELATED LEAKS
The project presented an unusual challenge: the three-story structures could only be accessed by manlifts, as required by the community’s engineer.
Colonial’s team coordinated carefully to maintain safety, minimize disruption, and keep the project on schedule.
COMPLEX ACCESS, EXPERT EXECUTION
During the tear-off, crews uncovered severe hidden damage, including rotted wood behind wall flashings and termite and carpenter ant damage at trusses and fascia.
Each issue was addressed immediately to restore the roof system’s structural integrity before installing the new tile system.
STRONG RESULTS, STRONGER RELATIONSHIPS
Despite unforeseen complications, the nearly 200,000sf project was completed within five months. The new tile roofs are projected to last 25–35 years, providing long-term protection and peace of mind for residents.
Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. The association’s engineer, board, and unit owners praised Colonial’s professionalism and communication throughout the process. Theresa, the Board Treasurer, noted how seamless the collaboration was and invited Colonial Roofing to bid on large waterproofing project. A resident has requested a proposal for a similar tile condominium project elsewhere in Sarasota, reflecting the trust built through this successful partnership.
