LEON COUNTY COURTHOUSE – MONROE STREET – TALLAHASSEE
The third courthouse to stand in this location, and home of Florida’s 2nd Judicial Circuit Court, this incarnation of the building was constructed in 1989. Its distinctive design, with tinted windows that reflect the skyline, framed by multiple story white concrete columned walkways, make it one of the most recognizable structures in the area. After thirty years, it required renovations, and we were called to repair some minor filtration issues along a section of the flat concrete and paver stone roof and surrounding parapet wall. This was a labor intensive project, requiring several phases to complete properly. The first phase involved removing materials. This started with palatalizing, and down stacking the paver stones off the roof and onto a secure location on the ground. Then we could access the substrate to remove the existing coping metal, roofing membrane, drain inserts, wood, and other damaged pre-existing materials. We ended by cleaning up the debris and measuring and creating a custom template to send in with our radial coping order to replace the damaged sections. The second phase involved cleaning the surfaces and repairing the damaged and/or removed sections. We fixed the light weight concrete using concrete patch, damaged wood along the parapet wall with new sections, flashing with new and the custom sections we had ordered, retrofit drain inserts, rolled membrane adhesive and membrane onto the roof, and made sure everything was sealed properly. The third phase was repairing the parapet wall and expansion joints. Per our contract, this included installing aluminum counter flashing below the termination bar using specified SS fasteners, covering seam straps with seam tape, filling voids in the walls with appropriate materials, rolling on the spec specified white base, and finishing it off with a sealant. We were provided a detail for the stainless steel expansion joints that we followed to install the base and cap sheets, flexible waterproofing membrane, and expansion joint cap. The last phase was loading everything up, and the final cleanup, to leave the roof in tip top shape.

THE CENTER OF TALLAHASSEE – NORTH MONROE ST – TALLAHASSEE, FL
The Center, once a local mall, underwent renovations recently and is now a semi-enclosed shopping center and entertainment venue. Part of those renovations included repairing leaks and other age related roof damage found throughout the complex, as well as repairing wall systems. We were happy to take care of this for them. The wall repairs, seen in the photos, included removal of all expansion joint sealant, cleaning the joints out, installing backing rod for expansion, and tooling in the new 20 year sealant. This was a challenging job, since we had to alternate colors to maintain the integrity of the painted murals, but we were happy with the results.

Gutter and Soffit System Repair
GHAZVINI CENTER FOR HEALTHCARE EDUCATION
TCC’s Ghazvini Center for Healthcare Education is a learning space devoted to a variety of medical fields. The building sustained damage to the soffit system during hurricane Michael, and we were called in to assess the situation. Once we were finished and determined what needed to be done, we set to work. First, we removed the existing roofing materials, including the roof trim, metal edge, soffit trim, and cleats. After cleaning away the debris, we inspected the substrate to determine the depth of the wind and water damage there, and found that we would need to replace the sub-framing, which we did, providing a strong base to attach the new gutter. Since the measurements were not standard sized, we made and installed custom metal trim, in addition to the standard soffit trim, rake cleats, and edge metal. Finishing the paint touch up, and clean up, we left the building as good as new and ready to weather the next storm.
