## Two buildings, two repair areas

An assessment of approximately 37,793 square feet across two metal roofs identified recurring leaks, corrosion and aging repairs. The immediate repair scope focused on approximately 900 square feet of panel replacement in two marked areas, plus the gable and rake edges on a separate rear building.

## Replacement panels from ridge to gutter

The revised scope specified 26-gauge PBR panels running continuously from ridge to gutter. The new panel runs avoided horizontal seams within the replacement areas. Ordering and field coordination covered panel dimensions, the existing profile and the tie-ins to retained roofing.

## Matching the rear-building edge metal

The rear building needed complete gable/rake-metal replacement at both ends. The profile, finish and color were coordinated with the existing building so the repaired edges would form a consistent line.

## The finished work

October 23 photographs show the replacement panel areas. October 27 photographs show the finished rake metal, elevations and corner returns. The gallery pairs those views with the earlier roof conditions.

## Longer-term roof planning

The wider roof review also considered a TPO retrofit and full PBR panel replacement. Those larger options addressed the aging roof areas beyond the localized panel and edge-metal repairs.

Wider view of replacement metal panels adjoining existing panels in Clearwater.**Coating separation at the eave**
The earlier coating is lifting at the eave termination, with rust visible along the panel surface. This was an existing condition recorded during the business-park assessment.**Weathered coating in the panel field**
Areas of coating loss expose deteriorated metal beneath. The report considered this condition when evaluating whether another coating application was appropriate.**Fastener and end-lap corrosion**
Rust staining is visible at a fastener and panel lap, alongside earlier repair material. The inspection included both the open panels and these repeated fastening details.**Distributed prior repairs**
A longer view of the second inspected roof shows prior sealant work spread across the roof slopes. The report distinguished these distributed conditions from a single isolated defect.**Prior treatment along end laps**
Existing sealant follows several lap lines, with an on-site marking at one location. These treatments predated the proposed corrective options described in the report.**Ventilator curb and fastener treatment**
Earlier sealant surrounds a ventilator curb and individual fastener heads. The condition assessment considered these penetrations as part of the wider roof system.**Corrosion beside a light panel**
Corrosion and prior silicone repairs around a translucent light panel and adjacent laps. This view supports the report discussion of continuing deterioration despite earlier localized treatment.
