Englewood Apartment Complex Multi-Phase Roof Replacement

Apartment complex roofing project.

Englewood Apartment Complex

10 multi-family residential buildings.

Location

Englewood, CO

Summary

Phase 1 of a multi-phase roofing project involving the complete removal and replacement of tile roofing systems across 10 multi-family residential buildings.

Challenge

The property was experiencing ongoing water intrusion caused by a failing tile roof system. Inadequate flashing around chimneys, penetrations, and headwalls further contributed to the problem, compromising building integrity and resident comfort.

Solution

After evaluating the extent of the damage, a full roof replacement was determined to be the only effective long-term fix. Repairs would have only delayed the inevitable and failed to address the extensive underlying issues.

To begin Phase 1 of the project, the DCPS team completely removed the existing tile roofing system down to the decking. Each roof deck was thoroughly inspected to identify and address any hidden structural issues. Once cleared, a new underlayment was installed, and ice and water shield was applied for enhanced protection. Battens were then added to prepare for tile installation.

Tile materials were loaded onto the rooftops, and the DCPS team completed installation promptly, ensuring compliance with all regulations. City inspections were conducted at both the midpoint and final stages of the project to confirm that the work met quality and code standards.

Phase 1 was completed over the course of 9 weeks. This marks the first step in a four-year, multi-phase project that will ultimately replace the roofing systems across the entire property and deliver long-term protection, enhanced curb appeal, and a more reliable living environment for residents.
