My shop leaks. It has always leaked. And every year the roofer comes and fixes some of these leaks - but it's a game of whack-a-mole, and it's gotten old. (Existing roof is metal with about a trillion exposed fasteners. Nobody builds house roofs that way why was it good idea on a commercial building???)
I have in hand a quote to overlay the existing metal roof with a TPO system - some foam stuff (EPS) in the spaces between the flutes, then some insulating board over that, then TPO kind of heat-shrunk onto that.
My question is:
Do any of you have experience with or contact with people or buildings that have this treatment, and how has it worked out? (Or not worked out?)
This is in Western WA state - so lots of rain, a little bit of snow, a couple weeks of intense heat, mostly mild weather. The roof has some pitch to it, it's not flat.
