ROOFING PROJECT OVERVIEW
When the Casa de Oaks HOA in Thousand Oaks began experiencing roof failures, the community board knew they needed a contractor who could handle a large-scale, multi-building roofing project while minimizing disruption for residents.
Spanning 19 buildings and 125,000 square feet of roofing, this project required precision planning, strong communication with residents, and a system designed to protect the community for decades to come.
Top Armor Roofing was selected for the job because of our expertise in HOA and multi-family roofing projects. We began work in December 2024 and, despite weather delays, holiday breaks, and a weekday-only work schedule, completed the project in approximately 100 working days.
If you manage a multi-family property or HOA, you know that projects of this size require a contractor who can balance technical skill with professional community coordination. Learn more about our HOA & Multi-Family Roofing Services.
WHAT WERE THE ROOFING ISSUES WE ADDRESSED?
Original Roofing System & Issues
The original roofing system was concrete tile over a single layer of 30 lb felt paper, which is the minimum underlayment required by tile manufacturers. While common in new construction, this type of felt paper generally lasts only 15–20 years. Part of the strategic advisement our customers can expect to get from our team is a breakdown of how such options differ, with a comprehensive cost benefit analysis — so you can rest assured that you know you are moving forward with the roofing solutions that are right for you.
After decades of service, the underlayment had dried, shrunk, and deteriorated, allowing water intrusion to become a growing problem. At this point, it was clear that the community needed a professional roofing company with large-scale community project expertise that could move them forward with a fresh roofing solution built to last.
WHICH ROOFING SOLUTIONS DID WE PROVIDE & WHY?
Tile Reset
During our initial inspection, we determined that the community’s original concrete roof tiles were still in excellent condition — a major advantage for cost savings and sustainability. Rather than replacing the tiles entirely, our crews implemented a tile reset process: each tile was carefully lifted, set aside, and inspected while we removed the aging underlayment beneath.
Underlayment Upgrade
We then installed a two-ply TU43 SBS underlayment system. This premium self-adhering membrane offers superior waterproofing and durability compared to the original single-layer 30 lb. felt paper, which typically lasts 15–20 years. By upgrading to this two-ply SBS system, the community now benefits from a 30-year manufacturer’s warranty, improved resistance to shrinkage and water intrusion, and a roofing assembly that is better suited to handle decades of Southern California weather conditions.
Benefits of This Strategy
This approach not only extends the life of the roof but also preserves the visual character of the property, maintains proper tile weight for structural stability, and reduces material waste — making it a smart, long-term investment for HOA and multi-family communities.
CHALLENGES IN THIS ROOFING PROJECT & HOW WE OVERCAME THEM
Large HOA projects come with their own set of challenges:
- Coordinating with dozens of residents.
- Working around entryways, balconies, and parking areas.
- Managing daily cleanup and maintaining a safe work environment.
For Casa de Oaks, we divided the project into three phases, planned parking and staging areas in advance, and provided written notices to every unit before starting work on their building. Each notice included four direct contact numbers and email addresses for Top Armor project managers to ensure residents could reach us at any time.
This structured approach kept the job moving smoothly — on time and on budget — while minimizing disruptions to daily life.
