GSM was recently commissioned by Lancaster Plumbing Heating Cooling & Electrical to install new metal siding, gutters, and downspouts at their Enterprise Road location in Lancaster, PA. The project scope also included front coping and EPDM flashing detail.
As with any roofing project, there were several key challenges that our team had to overcome. One of the biggest hurdles was the front entrance flashing detail onto the existing metal roof. This required careful planning and execution to ensure that the new flashing would provide a watertight seal while also matching the existing roof’s aesthetics.
Another challenge was attaching various types of siding to the building’s exterior. Our team had to use different techniques and materials to ensure that the siding was securely fastened and provided a durable and long-lasting finish.
At GSM, we have multiple specialized crews that can collaborate on projects. This allowed us to tackle the front entrance flashing detail and the siding installation simultaneously, ensuring that the project was completed efficiently and effectively.
Our team also took extra care to ensure that all work was done to the highest standard of quality. We conducted regular inspections throughout the project to make sure that all materials were properly installed and that the final result met our client’s expectations.
In total, we installed 300LF of gutter and 14 downspouts, as well as new metal exterior siding.
This project was an excellent fit for GSM because it required various skill sets and a high level of workmanship. Our team was able to showcase our expertise in metal roofing and siding installation while also demonstrating our ability to overcome unique challenges.
Additionally, this project aligned with our commitment to serving ideal customers who value quality work and attention to detail. We take pride in delivering exceptional results that exceed our clients’ expectations, and this project was no exception.
I did get a chance to inspect the roof of this church last week. There was no damage to the roof, it is actually in quite good condition since it was installed in the late 80’s or early 90’s. The leaks they are experiencing are at the flashing transitions to the stone masonry and one at a brick masonry chimney.
But I did want to tell you that I was very impressed with Austin, the young fellow that ran the lift for me. I am not sure I have ever had such a smooth and accurately-placed ride. It wasn’t the highest roof I ever had to look at, and maybe the equipment rental was newer, but still, it was refreshing to see the competence of that young fellow.
