This summer is best characterized as the "remodel", spending time remodeling a
3 bedroom cabin on the expansion property of the
Painted Pony Resort. The cabin brings the number of bedrooms available for guests to 12 which allows even larger family reunions and weddings, but will rent separately for couples and small families. As with all house remodeling the roof requires investigation and in the case of the cabin it needed attention. Since air conditioning was installed the old swamp cooler was removed and the opening sealed. Then using a 75/25% mix of white elastomeric/rubber roofing compound from
Ames Research Laboratories a new continuous roof coating was started. This material has the consistency of pancake batter and goes on smoothly both with a brush and roller, although rollers tend to introduce air bubbles which must be removed and imperfections in the old roof may not be adequately covered requiring hand brushing. Applied at a rate of 1 gallon/100 sq. ft., 10 gallons was required to create a new roof surface with 4-6 coats on the edges, seams, low spots, and other potential problem areas. Then the whole surface received 3 coats of elastomeric/rubber roofing compound. The final finish is good and the roof is much improved and will ideally last many years in the New Mexico sunshine. Now on to stucco work.

Looks great! Good thing you took a picture as only people who will see it is a fly over.
ReplyDeleteYour quite right. Now I have to figure out how to get the old swamp cooler off the roof without damaging the building.
ReplyDeleteJust about as impressive as that horizon it reaches onto. Great synthesis of a visual. Remodeling is really an ambition in and of itself. Nice job!

Thank you, but remodeling and especially roofing frequently requires a professional touch. The level of competency to do a good job takes time, skill, and patience.
ReplyDeleteNice post. I like the way you start and then conclude your thoughts. Thanks for this information.
ReplyDeleteThank you. The rubberized roofing compound made the job manageable for a individual fixing and resealing a roof.
ReplyDeleteRoof is securing you under sunlight and water so it must be leak free. Roof Coatings would be so far better to look for more of this kind for having efficient results. You can also visit here.
