In commercial facility management, a roof failure often triggers a knee-jerk reaction: immediate panic, followed by a rush to install a sub-par tarp while waiting months for a full TPO replacement.
Scaffwrappers advocates for a more strategic approach: The “Temp-to-Perm” transition.
The Pulaski, TN School Garage Profile
Our team was deployed to a large school garage facility in Pulaski, Tennessee. The structure had suffered significant damage, exposing the interior to the elements. A standard blue tarp was insufficient due to the span of the roof and the wind load in the area.
The Scaffwrappers Solution:
We installed a 12-mil, heat-sealed shrinkwrap system. Unlike a tarp, which is weighed down by sandbags, our wrap was mechanically fastened and heat-shrunk to the structure.
The Result:
This was not just a 30-day fix. The durability of the Scaffwrappers installation allowed the facility managers to treat the wrap as a semi-permanent roof. It held firm through the immediate crisis and remained in place until the permanent TPO roofing materials could be procured and installed months later.
This project demonstrates that a Scaffwrappers installation acts as a bridge—buying you the time to negotiate with insurance and vet roofing contractors without water actively destroying your asset.
