THE CHALLENGE

For years the Shanahan Ridge community & board of directors knew that the roofing system keeping them dry was past the point of a necessary replacement, so they began to collect funds to accomplish this goal.

During the reserve study, they were notified that three roofing systems currently existed on the buildings, which left them facing larger than expected costs for demolition and restoration.

Facing this overwhelming project cost while keeping the tenants protected proved to be a daunting task for the Board of Directors, as necessary repairs kept arising- which eroded the reserve balance they had built for an eventual replacement.

The property manager, aware of the difficult situation, reached out to MAC Street Industrial to see how we could help create a solution for this large cost they were facing.

Our restoration team began working to solve the problem by:

• Researching storm impact dates

• Utilizing moisture detection analysis

• Completing roof damage assessments

• Other studies were also done in conjunction with third party experts to discover if these applicable storms may have adversely shortened the life of the building envelope.

Once the insurance restoration team at MAC Street Industrial began working on this project, our first goal was getting the claim approved and obtaining a fair settlement to cover the cost of the necessary restoration. We then developed a safety plan and began the restoration project; keeping the tenants safe during the removal of the three roofing systems that existed on the various buildings within the complex.

THE SOLUTION

MAC Street Industrial spent several months analyzing, measuring, preparing estimates, meeting with the HOA to discuss various options, and then drafting the final plan. We worked with the insurance adjuster and the building consultants to get the claim approved, while also arriving at a fair and complete claim settlement that covered all of the damage, including the much-needed code upgrades.

Finally, with all the details worked out, MAC Street Industrial began the restoration process. While challenges presented themselves during the course of this project, all of them were successfully resolved for the benefit of the community.

It was a very rewarding experience to enable our client to avoid the seven-figure project cost they were originally faced with.
