This week we are featuring a brand new roof install in Bartow for a company based out of North Carolina. This building is approximately 40 feet by 100 feet.
A major part of this job was the roof. The existing roof was installed with lag fasteners and unfortunately, those rusted over time so it was time to update those for our client. Our crew used a torch to remove those existing fasteners and we completely removed that rusty, old roof to make way for a higher-quality, brand new 26 gauge galvalume roof. We installed 15 new purlins along with it.
Check out these photos for a better look at our work on this project so far:

We got all of this work done in less than a week!
Next, we’ll be framing and sheeting the gable end. After that, we’ll start installing the gutter and downspouts.
