Can a new low slope roof be installed around existing equipment?

The answer depends on the roof, access and proposed system. Ask which connections can be completed in place and where equipment work is necessary. The roofing and equipment contractors should define their responsibilities before the sequence is approved.

Is a recover appropriate when the roof has had leaks?

Leak history warrants assessment of the current assembly and supporting layers. A recover requires suitability, not simply an intact-looking surface. Ask about moisture, deterioration, attachment and applicable requirements before assuming existing materials can remain.

Why keep a record of the roof material after completion?

Later repairs must use appropriate methods and compatible materials. The final system record, connection details and maintenance guidance give future contractors a sound starting point, especially when equipment work brings them onto the roof.

01YOUR ROOF. YOUR NEXT STEP.

Understand the roof section and its water path

On a low slope roof, equipment curbs and drainage points are part of the roof plan, not separate details to resolve after selecting a membrane. For a Clovis property, Waterproof Roofing can discuss how the covering, its underlying assembly and these connections work together. A useful proposal explains the existing condition and the boundaries between roofing and equipment tasks.

Record the existing covering and any previous repairs on each roof area. Note reported water collection, leak locations and transitions between different roof types. The assessment should consider how water reaches drains, scuppers or edges instead of treating a flat-looking surface as a complete description.

Ask whether the proposed work renews only the covering or also changes a drainage condition. A new membrane does not automatically establish that the cause of standing water will be corrected. The intended response should be visible in the estimate, along with any condition that remains outside its scope.

Choose materials with their connections in view

Thermoplastic membranes, EPDM and asphaltic systems have different seam and repair methods. Identify the existing roof and any coating before considering a repair or recover. The selected material should be explained in relation to the building, the supporting assembly and the planned use.

Include insulation, attachment, flashing and edge details where applicable. At equipment curbs and penetrations, ask how the system will connect and what access it requires. A membrane name alone does not tell the owner how those interruptions in the roof are being handled.

03 / YOUR ROOFING GUIDE

Decide what the old assembly can support

A localized defect may support repair, while a suitable existing roof may be considered for recover where allowed. Wet materials, damaged decking or broader failure can require removal. Ask which observations support the recommendation and which concealed conditions remain uncertain.

A survey or selected opening may be proposed to clarify those questions. Establish its purpose and authorization, then agree on the procedure for documenting additional work. The comparison should show what each option retains and removes rather than presenting different construction approaches as interchangeable prices.

Coordinate Clovis roofing and equipment records

Clovis’s Building Division offers residential and commercial applications, reroof guidance and separate solar permit resources. Confirm jurisdiction for the parcel. Describe the roof assembly, drainage tasks and any equipment involvement when discussing how the proposed work should be documented.

Assign responsibility for access, equipment handling and final connections among the contractors involved. Keep related permit or inspection records with the final roof information. Maintenance guidance should address the actual system and access needs so later servicing does not begin without understanding the roof below the equipment.
