ROOFING COATING SCOPE OF WORK
Coating Preparation
Remove all debris and foreign matter from roof and gutters. Clean roof sections and flashings to be restored by pressure washing with a minimum of 2000 psi.
Wet Roofing Removal & Replacement
Remove marked roof areas in orange spray paint that correspond to the marked areas on the infrared scan report drawings.
Remove roofing and insulation down to the deck and discard.
Install new materials that match existing roof in size and style of existing roof system.
Tie newly installed roof system into existing roof system.
Repairs
Make repairs to all marked punctures, splits, openings, blisters, fishmouths, etc. prior to the installation of the Alphaguard liquid applied roof system. New granulated cap sheet can be torched down for repairs. If smooth surface torched down membrane is used the sheet will need to be primed with Alphaguard WB Primer.
Strip in all gutter seams and downspout seams by back brushing Geogard Seam Sealer into seams.
Cut gutter edge stripping back a minimum of 2” to expose the metal flange.
Remove all foreign matter from metal flange.
Prime Metal Flange with Alphaguard M-Prime.
Apply Alphaguard Base Coat by transitioning it from the metal gutter flange onto the modified bitumen roof, a minimum of 2” overlap.
Embed 4” reinforcement into the wet Alphaguard Base Coat and apply another course of Alphaguard Base Coat.
Soil Stacks
Prime all soil stack leads with Alphaguard M-Prime.
Apply Alphaguard Base Coat onto primed soil stack and transition a minimum of 4 inches onto the roof surface.
Embed Permafab reinforcing polyester into the wet base coat until fully encapsulated.
Once base coat is cured install Alphaguard finish coat over cured Alphaguard Base Coat.
Metal Counter flashings
Caulk all surface mounted metal counter flashings with Tremseal D.
Existing Mastic Repairs
Prime all existing mastic repairs or asphaltic based surfaces with Alphaguard WB Primer prior to installing Alphaguard Base Coat.
Generator Roof Pitch Pans
Fill pitch pans with Polyroof SF and allow to cure 1 day prior to Alphaguard installation.
Prime metal pitch pan with Alphaguard M-Prime.
Prime cured Polyroof SF with Alphaguard WB Primer.
Apply Alphaguard Base coat onto primed pitch pan and transition a minimum of 4” onto roof surface.
Immediately embed Permafab reinforcement into wet base coat.
Allow base coat to cure and install Alphaguard finish coat over previously coated and cured Alphaguard base coat.
Mixing
Mix the Alphaguard Base Coat activator into the Alphaguard Base Coat prior to application. Mix the Alphaguard Top Coat activator into the Alphaguard Top Coat prior to application. There are 2 activators, one for the base coat and a different one for the top coat. It is recommended that the top coat activator is not on the roof with the rest of the materials until all the base coat work is complete.
If in the event the activator does not get mixed into the base coat or top coat, the product will not cure and will have to be scraped & wiped clean and then pressure washed prior to installing the material properly.
Do not apply product when ambient temperatures are below 45 degrees Fahrenheit or when overnight temperatures drop below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Flashings
Any loose aluminum facers on flashings needs to be removed.
Flashings must be dry prior to application of primer and Alphaguard System.
Prime aluminum facers on the flashings with Alphaguard M-Prime.
For parapet walls if the wall is a solid wall there is no need to remove copings to install the Alphaguard on the top of the parapet. Apply the base coat directly to the flashings up to the metal coping and immediately embed the reinforcement. The flashings will be fully reinforced.
Stop the reinforcement fabric approximately 1” below the metal coping.
Apply Alphaguard top coat over the cured base coat up to the metal coping.
Coating Installation
Roof must be dry prior to application of Alphaguard Roof System.
Ensure proper coverage rates by visibly marking off 100 square feet sections prior to installing the base coat and the top coat.
Apply Alphaguard Base Coat to membrane by pouring directly onto surface. Spread evenly at 4 Gallons per 100 square feet on field of the roof, flashings, and penetrations.
Immediately embed the 40” Permafab Alphaguard reinforcement into wet Base Coat. Work in with a roller until fully embedded.
Overlap side laps 3” minimum and end laps 6” minimum.
Surface texture and condition may affect the actual coverage.
All Permafab must be encapsulated and embedded in the Alphaguard Base Coat by the end of each work day.
The Base Coat must be coated with the Finish Coat within 72 hours of tack free cure of Base Coat or it will be required to prime before applying the Finish Coat.
Apply Finish Coat by pouring directly onto the surface. Spread evenly at 2 Gallon per 100 square feet over all previously coated areas. Surface texture and condition may affect the actual coverage. The gray color of the Base Coat must be fully covered by the white Finish Coat for proper system performance.
Allow to cure 24 hours prior to any foot traffic.
