  Roof replacement, and what height changes

  Replacing a roof on a tall occupied building is governed by access and occupancy rather than by area. Material has to be hoisted and waste brought down, staging at roof level is limited, wind several storeys up dictates how partly completed work is secured, and everything happens above people living in the building. All of that belongs in the quote in writing: which sections are worked when, how long each is open, how material moves, and what happens if weather arrives mid-section. On the townhomes and houses the work is the ordinary pitched-roof sequence, with edge metal specified for the exposure and named on the price.

  Free roof survey, mapped section by section

  Nobody visits a high-rise roof by accident, so its condition is genuinely unknown until somebody surveys it. We map the roof into sections and work them in order, examining the field, every seam and upstand, every penetration created by plant, lift overruns, stair enclosures, aerials and davit supports, and every termination and run of edge metal. Outlets are cleared and tested, because a large deck that cannot drain carries a serious weight of water. Everything is photographed against the section it is on, and the report divides what cannot wait from what can be scheduled and budgeted. There is no charge, and the report is yours whoever eventually does the work.

  What a roof costs in Highland Beach

  Full replacements we have priced across Palm Beach County since spring have landed in the county's typical range, and a tower and a townhome are not comparable jobs. On a tall building the access, the hoisting, the staging and the phasing over occupied homes are real costs that never appear in a rate per square foot, which is why an unusually low tender is worth reading for what it assumes about getting up there. Whatever the building, the scope goes in writing first, with allowances stated as quantities and metal grades named, so a board or an owner can compare prices item by item rather than choosing between totals.
