WHAT’S UP IN THE ROOFING INDUSTRY AROUND NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE

2021 was a year like no other. The pandemic swept the nation and put a stop to many people’s lives as they knew it. Businesses closed their doors, schools went virtual, and people were forced to stay home. But even in the midst of all this turmoil, some roofing projects continued to help healthcare workers and first responders.

One such project was the commercial roofing replacement at Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. The Eskola team of Nashville commercial roofers worked tirelessly to support the hospital and keep its patients safe.

The hospital’s roof was in dire need of replacement. Commercial roofing inspectors found it to be in poor condition, with standing water, bubbles, stains, and broken materials. The roofing company knew it was critical to replace the roof as soon as possible to avoid further damage.

They quickly came up with a plan and got to work. In just three months, they had dismantled the old roof and installed a brand-new Trimco 2-ply modified bitumen roofing system. The hospital has already seen a significant improvement thanks to the new roof. Now that the roof is no longer in danger of leaking or falling, the workers and patients are much safer.

There were four main challenges to consider during the project:

1) The security of the personnel and the patients at the hospital: With Covid-19 worries, extra safety measures had to be taken to protect both the employees and the patients. PPE was worn at all times, and social distancing was practiced. To ensure that all safety precautions were followed, the roofing company closely coordinated with the hospital staff. Employees also regularly cleaned their hands and tools.

2) Heavy hospital traffic: With the hospital being open during the roofing project, extra caution had to be taken to not interfere with the hospital’s regular business.

3) Unloading trash: Removing the old roof debris required using the hospital’s crane, which could only operate at night. To keep the project on track, the team had to be strategic with their hours and organization.

4) The budget: The roofing project had to be completed on time and under budget.

Despite all of these challenges, the team at Eskola Roofing was able to complete the project successfully. They are proud to have contributed to keeping the hospital running smoothly during such a difficult time. If you need a commercial roofing contractor, don’t hesitate to contact Eskola Roofing. You can count on them for all your roofing needs!
