Franklin Properties Commercial Roof Recover
B&D Roofing Solutions completed a 6,000-square-foot commercial roof recover with partial tear-off for Franklin Properties at 2140 Lawndale Drive in Greensboro, NC, in May 2025.
The existing roofing membrane and insulation were removed down to the original gravel roof, and abandoned rooftop equipment and associated ductwork were removed. The remaining roof surface was prepared for installation of new mechanically fastened insulation and a mechanically attached Carlisle 60-mil white TPO roofing system.
To improve drainage, new roof crickets were installed near the rear scupper locations, along with two new 4-inch roof drains. The project also included perimeter termination and flashing details to complete the roofing system.
