While working on a commercial roof in downtown, I noticed a loose scaffold guardrail that could cause a fall.

My responsibility was to ensure the crew's safety and comply with OSHA regulations.

I immediately stopped work, reported the issue to the site supervisor, secured the area, and arranged for the guardrail to be repaired before resuming work.

The hazard was eliminated, no injuries occurred, and the project stayed on schedule, demonstrating our commitment to safety.

During a residential roof replacement in a historic district, the local code required specific ventilation and fire-resistant materials.

I needed to verify that all materials and installation methods met the municipality’s code requirements.

I reviewed the code handbook, consulted with the city building inspector, selected approved underlayment and vent types, and documented compliance in the project log before starting work.

The roof passed final inspection on the first review, avoiding costly rework and reinforcing the client’s trust in our professionalism.

I was assigned a 12‑story residential building with a 30° pitch that required a new architectural shingle roof.

My goal was to install the shingles efficiently while maintaining safety and ensuring a watertight finish.

I began with a thorough safety setup (harnesses, anchor points), installed a high‑quality ice‑and‑water shield along eaves, laid a synthetic underlayment, used a starter course, applied shingles with proper nailing patterns, and added ridge caps, checking alignment at each step.

The roof was completed two days ahead of schedule, passed the final inspection, and the homeowner reported no leaks after the first heavy rain.

A client reported water intrusion after a recent hailstorm; inspection revealed multiple cracked slate tiles and a compromised flashing on a historic roof.

I needed to repair the damage while preserving the roof’s historic appearance and keeping the homeowner informed of costs and timeline.

I documented each damaged slate, sourced matching reclaimed slates, carefully removed the broken pieces, repaired the flashing using lead‑compatible methods, re‑installed the slates with copper nails, and provided the homeowner with daily progress updates and a detailed invoice.

The repair restored the roof’s integrity, the homeowner praised the craftsmanship, and the roof passed a subsequent water test with zero leaks.

After completing a roof replacement, a homeowner complained that the new gutters were misaligned, causing water to overflow onto the patio.

I needed to address the concern promptly, correct the issue, and maintain the client’s trust.

I visited the site the same day, inspected the gutter alignment, explained the cause, offered to adjust the gutters at no extra charge, and scheduled the correction for the next morning. I also provided a written guarantee for the work.

The gutters were realigned, the overflow stopped, the homeowner expressed satisfaction, and later referred two friends to our company.
