Small Precision Tools

Multiple Award-Winning Commercial Industrial Reroofing Project in Sonoma County, CA

Overview: Wedge Roofing received two prestigious awards for the Spray Foam Roof installation of the Small Precision Tools Manufacturing Facility in Petaluma, CA: The 2016 National Roofing Contractor’s Association Gold Circle Award for Innovative Solutions in Reroofing and SPFA Industry Excellence Award for Best Spray Foam Roof Nationwide for 2016.

Problem: A single-ply roof at the end of its serviceable life with multiple water intrusion points into the manufacturing facility.

Roofing Challenges: 70% of the roof was not accessible by traditional roofing methods as it was covered with manufacturing equipment in a facility operating 24 hours a day, five days a week. This roofing project required a carefully planned custom integration that did not interfere with the manufacturing schedule.

Solution: To overcome the challenges of this complex and intricate roof, Wedge Roofing’s  General Manager Gary Harvey and Superintendent Fortino Juarez developed and perfected a method to pre-apply spray foam to a substrate, creating a rigid foam blanket. This unique approach allowed for the seamless integration of the components into the surrounding roof area, allowing Small Precision Tools to remain in full production during the entire roofing project.

Result: Through closely coordinated planning and scheduling, the spray foam roofing project was completed on time, on budget, and, most importantly, without interruption of service or manufacturing capabilities.
