Hardware Store

316 Construction successfully completed a commercial low-slope roofing project for an Ace Hardware building, delivering a long-term roofing solution designed to protect the business and improve energy efficiency. The project began with a comprehensive assessment of the existing roof system to determine areas of moisture intrusion, evaluate insulation needs, and confirm proper drainage paths. Based on the performance requirements of the retail facility—including weather protection, durability, and minimal disruption to store operations—a new low-slope membrane system was selected and engineered to meet the needs of the building and its occupants.

A TPO/EPDM/Modified/BUR (replace with exact system used) membrane roofing system was installed for its superior performance, weather resistance, and low maintenance requirements. New insulation was added to improve thermal efficiency and reduce the building’s heating and cooling costs—an important benefit for a retail environment with high daily foot traffic and fluctuating internal temperatures. Precision detailing was performed around HVAC units, skylights, and parapet walls to ensure watertight performance. All flashing and termination points were completed using manufacturer-approved methods, ensuring the integrity of the entire system.

Because 316 Construction is an Elevate (formerly Firestone Building Products) licensed contractor, this Ace Hardware roofing project qualified for a comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering both labor and materials for up to 30 years. This level of warranty protection ensures that Ace Hardware’s investment is safeguarded and demonstrates the high-quality installation standards adhered to by 316 Construction. A final inspection was completed with both the manufacturer and the building ownership team to verify that the roofing system met every specification.

The completed project provides the Ace Hardware building with a durable, energy-efficient roofing system capable of performing for decades. Through certified installation, premium materials, and attention to detail, 316 Construction delivered a roofing solution that minimizes maintenance needs, improves building performance, and protects the business from future weather-related damage.
