When we arrived at the center, we found that some of their ceiling tiles were stained, and others had collapsed due to water damage. When we got onto the roof, we found evidence of significant ponding water that was compromising the roofing system by getting into the roof assembly and the rafters and framing below. This ponding water was caused by the inadequate sloping to the roof drains.
In the event that our area is hit by a massive blizzard, our team at Vanguard can come to your property for commercial and industrial snow removal. While not damaging immediately, large snowfalls create substantial weight on flat roofs. It’s important to have the snow removed promptly to keep flat roofs and low-slope roofs from sagging or collapsing.
Complete a semi-annual comprehensive roof inspection, including a visual inspection of the entire roof area. During these scheduled inspections, minor maintenance issues include removing leaves and debris from around drains, removing debris from the roof side of gutters and scuppers, and picking up fasteners or other sharp objects left by other trades that may cause damage.

Residential Roof Replacement/Installation
To try and avoid any large repair issues, Vanguard matches the service life of your roof with the service life of the SES you decide to install. If your roof is on the older side, we will suggest a roof replacement before adding the solar arrays. Roofs that are not designed to hold additional weight will need to be reinforced before installation to avoid project delays and further roof damage. We also suggest coating your roof in white roof reflective material to bounce the sunlight that hits the roof back onto the solar panels, while also keeping your roof and business cool.

Vanguard removed part of the old roof, installed “crickets” to achieve a positive drain flow, and then added new insulation and membrane to curtail the issue.
The essential part of your Solar Ready Roof is safety. We will always include in our proposal adequate roof access, guardrails, and tie-offs. We will also include recommendations for walk pads in high-traffic areas, infrared scanning to look for potential roof deck water infiltration, gas line prep and painting for increased visibility, and membrane power washing to optimize the benefits of the white reflective coating.
