Cotterman & Company, Inc.

Project Spotlight: Roof Expansion Joint Repair At Cotterman & Company Inc., we’re committed to delivering quality roofing solutions tailored to meet the unique challenges of every project. Recently, we had the opportunity to assist a valued customer in Central Ohio with a critical roof repair on their facility’s standing seam metal roof panel system. The Challenge: The roof expansion joint on the facility had deteriorated completely, leading to compromised insulation and potential water intrusion risks. It was clear that immediate attention was required to restore the integrity of the roofing system. Our Solution: To address the issue, our expert team implemented a multi-step repair process: 1.      Removal of Saturated Insulation: We removed the compromised insulation to ensure a stable foundation for repairs. 2.      Installation of New Batten Insulation: Batten insulation was installed to improve thermal performance and support the roofing system. 3.      Application of Reinforced EPDM Membrane: A loose-laid reinforced EPDM membrane was installed over the expansion joint. The EPDM was terminated to the flange on each side of the roofing panel, providing a flexible and strong solution. 4.      Final Touches for a Water-Tight Seal: To ensure long-lasting protection, we caulked the termination bar and fasteners, completing the repair with a secure, water-tight seal. The Result: Our customer now has a fully restored and reliable expansion joint that enhances the overall performance and longevity of their roofing system. This project is a testament to our dedication to craftsmanship, innovative solutions, and exceptional customer service. Cotterman & Company Inc. is proud to be a trusted partner for industrial and commercial roofing needs across Ohio.

Emergency EPDM Roof Repair – Central Ohio Recently, our team at Cotterman & Company Inc. responded to an emergency repair for a commercial roof in Central Ohio. After a severe rain and wind storm, a large section of the EPDM rubber membrane was torn, exposing the insulation below and causing significant water leaks into the building's warehouse. To quickly protect the facility, we cleaned and primed the damaged membrane and applied new EPDM flashing to temporarily stop the leak. Once the building was secure, we completed a permanent repair using a combination of new fasteners, plates, batten bars, and 60 mil reinforced EPDM membrane. This ensured a durable, long-lasting, watertight seal. Check out the before and after photos to see the difference! If your facility has suffered storm damage, our team is ready to help restore and protect your building. #Roofing #EPDM #CommercialRoofing #IndustrialRoofing #RoofRepair #EmergencyResponse #Cotterman&CompanyInc. #OhioBusiness #BuildingProtection
