North Clark, Uptown, Chicago - Roof Venting and Roof Repair/Replacement Proposal/Staging Plan - 12-21-21

A:  Mid-tier Re-Roof

B:  Whole Roof Tear Off

C:  Pitch pan re-configuration

D:  Rear Stairwell / Elevator Shaft

E:  Front Stairwell Roof Repair

A: Mid-Tier Re-Roof and Ventilation

Install WickRight Roof Vent, this process of opening the perimeter of the roof allows for a direct inspection of the roof trusses prior to replacing the field of the mid-tier roofs.

1.       Remove field of the mid-tier roofs:  install 1/2” high density Polyiso board screwed to the plywood sheathing

2.       Install “Liberty” brand base sheet (this self-adhered base sheet is the thickest material available)

3.       Install 1 layer of GAF Rubberoid modified bitumen or equal

4.       Install counter flashing the new metal coping/ roof system to flash roof termination.

B: Main Roof

Install WickRight Roof Vent along the perimeter of the entire main roof system and replace the roof membrane.

1. East access door solution:

• Rework east access door at front stairwell
• Remove existing door
• Build up the threshold, install roofing through the opening Install pan flashing
• Install a shorter, more narrow door to accommodate the existing conditions. This is the only way to successfully flash and waterproof the door opening.

2. Rework middle scupper

C: Pitch pans and roof penetrations

1. Disconnect AC units
2. Exhaust pipes:  these pipes are too close together. The pipes will be cut and reconfigured above the roof line, yet below the new elevated roof termination.
3. Electrical lines: all power will be rerouted into a pull box. This becomes a common junction box from which we can relocate new electrical wires without disconnecting the existing. Installing this box enables us to relocate the air-conditioning condensers in the best place possible.
