GAF Class 3 Impact Resistant Reroof on 16,000 Sq Ft Apartment Complex in Lawrence
An 18-Year-Old Roof Shedding Shingles on an Occupied Apartment Complex
The roofing system at Helix 24 was the original roof installed when the apartment complex was built, roughly 18 years prior. By the time Easton was brought in, the shingles had deteriorated to the point where they were blowing off in wind events on a regular basis. For a property manager or building owner, that is not just a maintenance problem. Shingles coming off an occupied multi-family building create liability exposure, accelerate water intrusion risk, and signal to tenants that the property is not being maintained.
A roof in that condition on a 16,000 square foot complex cannot be patched or extended. It requires a full replacement executed carefully enough to keep the building occupied and operational throughout the project.
Full Reroof with GAF Class 3 Impact Resistant Shingles and Unlimited Wind Warranty
Easton replaced the entire roofing system with GAF Class 3 impact resistant shingles, a significant upgrade over the standard builder-grade shingles the building had been covered with for nearly two decades. The GAF system carries an unlimited wind warranty from the manufacturer, directly addressing the shingle blow-off problem that had been the most visible symptom of the roof's failure. The project required careful coordination across the multi-building complex to minimize disruption to tenants living in the units below.
The full 16,000 square foot replacement was completed in three weeks across nine working days, keeping the project on schedule and the property operational throughout.
A Roof Built to Last Two More Decades with Minimal Tenant Disruption
Helix 24 now has a fully replaced roofing system across all 16,000 square feet, backed by an unlimited wind warranty that eliminates the shingle blow-off liability the property had been carrying. The GAF Class 3 impact resistant shingles give the complex a roof built to handle the wind and hail events common in Lawrence, and the warranty documentation gives the building ownership a defensible record of the system's coverage.
The project was completed with minimal disruption to tenants, with Easton's crew coordinating the work to keep noise, debris, and access issues contained throughout the three-week schedule. A roof that had been a recurring liability for the property is now one that should perform reliably for the next two decades.
