Wow! Sounds like this roof job was no fun at all!

Hey Grumpy, what about cold vulcanizing process, instead of torch down? I have had great success with cold products and seam sealer and such, to make even the most difficult situations go away. I am not a torcher; just thought info might help.

As far as the guy, move on to getting referrals from happy friends that have had a competent roofer deal with the hard stuff. Good Luck. Dan-o

Due to a recent modified bitumen fire on a historical chicago church (NOT BY US) and my recent insurance audit, I think this is the way we are headed. I personally haven't installed a cold process modified roof system yet, however a few of my guys have experience with it.

I might give EPDM another look as well, however I don't trust single ply systems. We already install acrylic/urethane polymer built up roof systems. Due to the cost of the acrylic/urethane polymer, the system is only attractive as a layover solution.
