The Client & The Challenge
Edwards Communities, a prominent property management firm, faced a pressing concern at their Camden Place Apartments in Dublin. The roofs on all twelve buildings were over twenty years old, untouched since their original construction in 2000. These aging roofs were becoming a significant liability, posing a risk to residents and the long-term value of the property.
The management needed a reliable, efficient roofing partner who could execute a large-scale, multi-building replacement project with minimal disruption to the hundreds of residents living in the community. The project required not just technical skill, but exceptional logistical coordination.
The Able Roof Solution
This project was expertly managed by our specialized commercial division, then known as Contractors Inc., prior to its full reintegration under the Able Roof brand. We developed a comprehensive, multi-phase plan to systematically replace the roofs across the entire complex.
Meticulous Planning & Execution
Our team presented a detailed approach for a full system replacement, including new architectural shingles, synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield, and all new flashing, vents, and soil pipes to ensure a modern, watertight system for every building.
Overcoming On-Site Challenges
Large-scale renovation projects often present unexpected hurdles. Our experienced crew skillfully navigated several challenges:
- Unexpected Layers: During the tear-off, we discovered two layers of old shingles, which required additional labor and disposal. Our team adjusted the timeline and managed the extra work efficiently without significant delays.
- Logistical Complexity: We operated in tight spaces with limited parking, carefully coordinating material delivery and debris removal to maintain access for residents and emergency vehicles.
- Complex Architecture: The team expertly removed and replaced the shingled roofs on buildings with numerous balconies, implementing rigorous safety protocols to protect residents and their property.
The Results: A Secure and Revitalized Community
Despite the challenges, the entire 12-building project was completed within the two-month timeline, delivering a dramatic transformation for the community.
- Enhanced Resident Safety & Security: With completely new, professionally installed roofing systems, residents now enjoy a safer, more secure living environment, free from the risks of leaks or weather damage.
- Increased Property Value: The project gave the entire apartment complex a clean, uniform, and modern look, significantly boosting its curb appeal and overall property value for Edwards Communities.
- Proven Logistical Expertise: By successfully managing a multi-building replacement in a live, occupied community, we demonstrated our capability to handle the most logistically demanding commercial projects.
