From Emergency Blow-Off to Full Roof Replacement
After an overnight storm tore approximately 3,000 square feet of EPDM membrane from a degraded 20,000-square-foot commercial roof, our team responded the next morning with an emergency temporary repair. Within three days, our team had quoted the full reroof, ordered the materials, and coordinated delivery, allowing the complete roof replacement to move forward shortly afterward.

Project Overview
After an overnight storm tore approximately 3,000 square feet of EPDM membrane from a deteriorated 20,000-square-foot commercial roof, the Jurin Roofing team mobilized the following morning to perform emergency temporary repairs and protect the building from further damage. Within three days, our team completed a comprehensive reroof proposal, secured the necessary materials, and coordinated delivery, enabling the full roof replacement to begin shortly thereafter.
The Challenge
With thousands of square feet of insulation exposed, the building was vulnerable to additional moisture intrusion and interior damage. The immediate priority was to secure the damaged area. However, because the remaining roof system was also delaminated, a temporary repair alone would not provide the long-term protection the building needed.
The building owner required both a rapid emergency response and a permanent roofing solution that could be organized and completed as quickly as possible.
Our Response
A service crew was dispatched early the next morning to assess the damage and complete a temporary emergency repair. Securing the exposed area helped limit further moisture intrusion while the full condition of the roof was evaluated.
Over the next three days, our team prepared and presented a proposal for the full roof repalcement, ordered the required materials, and coordinated their delivery to the property. The complete roof replacement was performed shortly afterward, minimizing the amount of time the building remained dependent on a temporary repair.
During the roof replacement process, the layer of insulation exposed by the blow-off was removed and replaced. Our team then installed an additional layer of polyisocyanurate insulation across the entire 20,000-square-foot roof surface before installing a new adhered 60-mil black EPDM membrane.
Roof penetrations, rooftop units, perimeter edges, and termination details were addressed as part of the new system to provide lasting protection for the building.
The Result
Our immediate response helped protect the building from additional water intrusion following the storm. Once it became clear that the entire roofing system was degraded, the team quickly transitioned from emergency response to long-term resolution.
Within three days of the temporary repair, the replacement project had been quoted, materials had been ordered, and delivery had been coordinated. The full roof replacement was completed shortly afterward, providing the building owner with a new, insulated EPDM roofing system designed for dependable long-term performance.
Why Building Owners Choose Jurin Roofing
A roofing emergency requires more than a temporary patch. It requires a contractor with the experience, resources, and organization to move quickly from immediate protection to a permanent solution.
Our team of dedicated professionals responded early the next morning after the storm, secured the exposed roof, evaluated the condition of the entire system, and mobilized the full replacement process within three days. This rapid coordination helped minimize the building owner’s risk and restored long-term protection without unnecessary delays.
