Restoring the Sanctuary

Saint Paschal Baylon is a Roman Catholic church located in Highland Heights, Ohio. The church features a beautiful sanctuary with a unique vaulted ceiling. When that ceiling began to leak, Saint Paschal’s called on Warren Roofing™ for emergency commercial leak repair—and that turned into a complete roof replacement.

The Job

Emergency Leak Repair and Commercial Roof Replacement

Warren Roofing™ initially responded to an emergency call from Saint Paschal after a roof leak. Water damage was ruining the altar area of the sanctuary. Warren Roofing™brought in an emergency lift crane to access the roof and stop the leak, but the long-term solution was clear: The roof needed to be totally replaced with a watertight system.

 

The Challenge

Accessing a 120-Foot High Roof

On a typical job, Warren Roofing™ can build scaffolding or a stair tower to access the roof. As you can see from the photos of the building’s exterior, those options weren’t possible. The team at Warren Roofing™ could only access the roof using a crane with a basket. Each day, team members rode in the crane basket up to the roof—only two at a time. This was a challenge for Gabe Klemola, the project foreman, who needed to closely monitor his team and direct the movement of the crane so the job could be completed safely.

The Status: The project was completed over a 3-week period during the spring of 2021.

 

The Process

Tremco™ Modified Bitumen Roof Installation

Because of the difficulty of accessing the sanctuary roof to complete repairs, the new roofing system needed to be high quality, durable, and built to last for decades. Warren Roofing™ decided on a Tremco modified bitumen roofing system, which provides exceptional waterproofing protection and extreme durability. This type of multi-ply roofing system will perform—and maintain its appearance—for years to come and was the right choice for Saint Paschal.

The Results

Getting the Job Done

Warren Roofing™ handled the access challenges on this project with ease, finding a solution that would allow the project to continue safely. With the modified bitumen roof in place, Saint Paschal no longer has to worry about making a panicked phone call to Warren Roofing™ for emergency leak repair. Water infiltration—and the damage it causes—is now a thing of the past for the church.
