This month I wanted to recognize another successful collaboration with two of our strongest relationships, Sarnafil, Inc. and Wetherholt and Associates, to complete a tricky project for the historic Scargo Apartments, owned by Plymouth. Housing Group.
For those of you unfamiliar with Plymouth, it has grown to be one of the largest providers of low-income housing in downtown Seattle. With over 1,000 residents and 17 retail tenants in 12 buildings, Plymouth Housing Group today has an annual operating budget of $17 million.
The Scargo/Lewiston Apartments needed a new roof. Located in the heart of Belltown, the project presented two major challenges; Tearing off a roof and laying down a new one during record rainfall, and protecting pedestrians along the busy sidewalk on First Avenue.
Working together with Ray Wetherholt and Micha Indra, Stanley project manager Phil Thompson and the team were able to complete the project without any damage to the historic Gothic design or injury to pedestrians.
As usual, we received superior product and customer service from William Clark and his team at Sarnafil. Sarnafil has proven to be a single-ply material that we can recommend to our clients, with our heritage and name on the line. Stanley crews installed a Sarnafil ten-year no -dollar- limit warranty roofing system, for Plymouth.
Because of the constant threat of rain, the re-roof had to be done in segments. We staffed a 20-man work crew on- site each work day in order to accomplish the daily goal. It was the only way to make progress and tackle the challenges of re-roofing during a historically wet winter. The sheet metal was installed as the re-roofing progressed.
We were able to protect pedestrians by erecting a scaffold system over the side walk. Access to the front doors of the apartment lobbies, as well as three Seattle landmark restaurants; Queen City Grill, The Frontier Room and Ohana Restaurant, was never compromised! Even Belltown Billiard’s remained opened. Stanley crews erected a three- story debris chute that was used to safely discard the tear -off material.
The Stanley dump trucks worked in tandem to move under the chute and contain all the material inside the dump box of our trucks. We positioned staff on the ground full- time, preventing any hazard to the pedestrians and vehicle traffic from occurring. Stanley roofing finished the project with ZERO safety incidents.
Just the Facts:
Stanley Roofing is looking forward to future opportunities to provide repeat excellent service to Plymouth Housing Group. We are very proud of completing another project with Wetherholt and Associates.
