Crown re-roofed fourteen occupied apartment buildings at Grove Hall in the Versico EPDM system, staging the work so hundreds of residents kept quiet, safe, and clean buildings throughout.

The ChallengeFlat roofs,
Flat roofs,
standing
water.
Fourteen flat roofs across one property, each prone to the two things flat roofs do worst in New England: pond water and leak.
Starting conditions
Flat decks give water nowhere to go. Across fourteen buildings, ponding and leakage were not isolated defects - they were the property's baseline condition.
Every building was full. Hundreds of residents lived directly under the work, so the schedule mattered as much as the assembly did.
The ApproachHow Crown
How Crown
built it.
Documented, sequenced, and largely self-performed. Here is how the work came together on site.
- 01
Specify for the climate
We selected the Versico EPDM system for its service life and its resistance to temperature swings and UV - the conditions that actually end flat roofs in Boston.
- 02
Run it as one project
Crown worked directly with the engineers, facility managers, and property managers, keeping communication open so problems got solved on site instead of in a change order.
- 03
Stage around residents
Construction was phased building by building, using quick-install techniques and scheduling the loudest work for the least disruptive hours.
- 04
Keep the site livable
Quiet, safe, and clean was a delivery requirement rather than a courtesy. The property stayed occupied from first tear-off to last.
The ResultFourteen roofs,
Fourteen roofs,
one
standard.
Grove Hall's fourteen buildings now carry the same EPDM system - drier, cheaper to maintain, and easier to heat and cool.

OccupiedThroughout construction
- Fourteen flat roofs replaced with the Versico EPDM system.
- Ponding and leakage designed out rather than patched.
- Energy efficiency improved and maintenance cost reduced across the property.
- Buildings stayed quiet, safe, and clean with residents in place throughout.
Slate and copper, done right.
Restoration is Crown's craft. If your building carries a historic slate or copper roof, see how we keep it watertight for another century.
