Re-roofing in the Tropics

 

Winner of Metal Construction News 2018 Metal Roofing Retrofit award.

Article: Tropical Reroofing.

After hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017, Thomas Phoenix traveled to St. Thomas, USVI to perform a slope-build up install of 162,000 square feet of MR-24 roof on 12 separate roofing planes. BRII siding panels close off the elevation change with seamed gables to achieve 165mph wind-rating. Battling constant power outages and post-hurricane supply shortages, our crew trained and worked side by side with local craftsmen to rebuild and renovate this local plaza and allow businesses to return.
