Steve McLaughlin Roofing Consultant Update 2/19/13
Today I want to give you a little update on the projects I am currently working on and what’s happening at Steve McLaughlin Roofing Consultant.
Thomas Wynne Apartment Complex
Interestingly enough, the roofs on this apartment complex are called “inverted” or “green” roofs. Inverted roofs are basically what they sound like – a roofing system where the typical exterior of the roof is below a form of water proof insulation. These are low slope roofs and are most commonly found on plazas and underground garages and can also be found on the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia (another SMRC project).

University of Pennsylvania – Arch Building
Our next big project is the Arch building. It was built in 1927-29 and was purchased by the University of Pennsylvania within the last 10 years. The roof on this building is more traditional and historic. It is a natural slate and copper roof combined with EPDM or rubber roofing over concrete plank deck.

Washington’s Crossing State Park
The last big project I’m going to mention today is interesting because of the history behind the site. This is a historical site because in 1776 General Washington and his men crossed the Delaware River and went on to Trenton, NJ to defeat the Hessians. We are responsible for the Evaluation, roof replacement design, contract administration services of 11 buildings plus each outbuilding. See more pictures of Washington’s Crossing: HERE
