The Challenge

The project involved working on a building over a century old, known for its iconic design and historical significance. The primary challenge was preserving the original aesthetic while incorporating modern materials and techniques to enhance durability and performance. The task required meticulous planning and execution to ensure the building's historical elements were preserved.

Assessment and Planning

Ortiz Roofing began with a comprehensive assessment of the building's existing roof structure. This involved identifying areas of damage, understanding the materials originally used, and evaluating the feasibility of integrating modern solutions. After completing the assessment, Ortiz Roofing collaborated with architects and historians to develop a plan that respected the building's heritage.
