Watsky Associates was engaged to assess and design a full roof replacement for Bardonia Elementary School in early 2024, following the identification of extensive deterioration in the bituminous membrane system. Our evaluation highlighted advanced aging issues including membrane cracking and surface blistering, with multiple temporary patches in place.
After confirming that repairs would not offer long-term value, we recommended a full replacement using an EPDM membrane system for its weather resistance and minimal maintenance profile. All construction activities were scheduled during the summer break to avoid disrupting school operations. The result: a high-performance, durable roofing solution that supports the school’s long-term facility goals.
We led the project from initial inspection through to close-out, ensuring that every design and construction detail adhered to current standards and school district priorities. Our cradle-to-cradle methodology ensured precision from specification to final inspection.
