A Monterey Park Distribution Roof, Restored in Place
UTC runs a busy 13,500-square-foot distribution warehouse in Monterey Park, the kind of building where product moves in and out every single day. By the time HP Roofing Pro was called in, the roof, an aging built-up (BUR) system with a granular cap sheet, had simply worn out. The surface granules were gone, the asphalt beneath had dried and split, and water was working its way in through cracked flashings and aging equipment curbs. Patches were no longer holding, and leaks had started reaching stored goods.
Why a Tear-Off Was the Wrong Answer
For an operation that ships daily, ripping the roof off would have meant exposing inventory and pausing the business, on top of a price tag two to three times higher than the alternative. The structural deck was sound; only the waterproofing had failed. That is precisely the situation a fluid-applied acrylic restoration is designed for.
The Restoration
HP Roofing Pro applied a seamless acrylic coating system directly over the existing roof. There was no demolition and no interruption, UTC kept receiving and shipping throughout the project. The finished surface is fully waterproof and bright white, reflecting UV and pulling down the heat that drives summer cooling bills. UTC ended up with a like-new roof and a lighter energy load, without losing a day of business.
