Small Building Self Install in Fresno, California

Restoring a Leaking Commercial Roof with Bond It Roof Seal System

Not every successful roof restoration requires a large contractor or specialist equipment. When the owner of a small commercial building in Fresno, California became frustrated with recurring roof leaks and years of temporary patch repairs, he decided to take matters into his own hands.

Looking for a long-lasting solution that would protect his property from California's extreme weather conditions, the building owner chose Bond It Roof Seal to restore approximately 1,300 square feet of roofing and extend the life of the existing roof.

The Challenge

The retail building had experienced ongoing leaks caused by an aging tar and gravel roof that had been repeatedly patched over the years. Fresno's hot summers, where temperatures regularly exceed 100°F, combined with cold winter conditions, had accelerated the deterioration of the roof and reduced the effectiveness of previous repairs.

Rather than continuing with short-term fixes, the building owner wanted a permanent waterproofing solution that would also help improve the roof's performance and reduce future maintenance costs.

The Solution

After discovering Bond It Roof Seal at a local hardware store, the building owner sought advice from a Bond It representative before deciding to complete the restoration himself with the help of a friend.

The existing roof was thoroughly cleaned and prepared before applying Bleed Blocker. Once the surface was ready, Bond It Roof Seal was installed using a squeegee to create a seamless, waterproof finish across the entire roof.

The straightforward application process allowed the project to be completed in just one day, demonstrating that professional-quality results can be achieved without the need for complex installation methods.

The Results

The completed project transformed a leaking commercial roof into a durable, weatherproof roofing system capable of withstanding California's demanding climate.

By restoring the existing roof instead of replacing it, the building owner achieved a cost-effective solution that reduced the risk of future leaks while extending the life of the building.

Project benefits included:

• Restored 1,300 square feet of commercial roofing
• Durable, seamless waterproof membrane
