Project Overview
- Location: Cherry Creek, Denver, CO
- Building Type: Residential Townhome HOA (6 units)
- Size: 8,000 sq ft

Roof Condition
A six-unit townhome community in Cherry Creek, Denver had hail damage across the flat roof membrane, visible as round impact marks throughout the field. The edge metal was worn, and the skylight curb flashings were aging. The roof had no direct access for hauling off debris or delivering materials, adding logistical complexity to the project.
- Hail damage across the flat roof membrane with round impact marks
- Worn edge metal at the eaves and rakes
- Aging skylight curb flashings
- No direct roof access for material delivery and debris removal
Evaluation & Approach
The hail damage was widespread across the membrane, making targeted repairs insufficient. A full tear-off let the crew inspect and replace damaged decking rather than covering it, and provided the opportunity to correct drainage with tapered insulation and upgrade the edge metal and skylight flashings.
Why This Approach
- Full tear-off let the crew find and replace damaged decking on three units
- Tapered EPS insulation corrects drainage by directing water to the gutters
- DensDeck board adds density under the membrane to resist future hail
- Heat-welded PVC seams, PVC-clad edge metal, and welded curb flashings make one continuous system
- One contractor and one warranty across all six homes keeps the HOA’s roof uniform
- 20-year warranty on the complete system
Scope of Work
- Tear-Off: Removed the existing flat roof membrane, old insulation, and clad metal edging across all six units. Hauled all debris off a roof with no direct access.
- Decking Repair: Inspected the roof deck and replaced damaged decking found on three of the units.
- Tapered Insulation: Installed tapered EPS insulation to direct water to the gutters and correct drainage across the roof.
- DensDeck Roof Board: Installed ¼” DensDeck roof board over the insulation for a dense, impact-resistant substrate under the membrane.
- PVC Membrane: Installed Versico 60-mil PVC membrane across the field and up the walls with heat-welded seams.
- Edge Metal: Custom-fabricated and installed 460 linear feet of PVC-clad edge metal at the eaves and rakes. Installed termination bar along the window wall detail.
- Skylights and Penetrations: Reflashed 12 skylight curbs and all pipes, vents, and exhaust penetrations. Raised one skylight curb to meet current code.
Result
Warranty: 20-year warranty
- 8,000 SF Replaced: Hail-damaged roofing replaced with a tapered Versico 60-mil PVC system across all six units
- Drainage Corrected: Tapered EPS insulation directs water to the gutters instead of ponding on the roof
- Decking Repaired: Damaged roof decking found and replaced on three units during tear-off
- Finished in 14 Days: All skylights, penetrations, and 460 LF of edge metal completed with a 20-year warranty
