Ogden Theatre

Project Description

The team over at the Ogden gave us a call to restore this historic building’s roof. Because this is an official City of Denver landmark title, we worked closely with the City to make sure that all of the services were in line with their wants, needs, and specifications. We also had to make sure that there was minimal disruption to the concert schedule by working closely with the event coordinator. All in all not a single show was interrupted or postponed!

Scope of Work

While working with the City of Denver, we quickly realized there was a lot to be done on the Ogden’s roof. Farha Roofing provided a proposal for the roof that included a 60 Mil Verisco Mechanically Fastened TPO with a green initiative to improve the building’s efficiency. Once we figured out all the necessary specifications with the City and the Ogden, we were ready to get to work!

Challenge

Because of the history behind this great theatre, we knew we needed to be extra careful with the roofing system. Our first step in the process was to install a fan fold base sheet on top of the existing roof system. Once that was in place, we continued our work, installing the mechanically fastened 60 Mil Verisco TPO. We also installed the necessary wood nailers at the gutters’ edge, new flashings around the points of penetration, and new wall flashings, all by the manufacturer's specifications. As we do with all of our roofing jobs over here at Farha Roofing, we made sure to maintain a clean and safe work site and keep all involved well informed. Maintaining a clean site was especially important as the Ogden regularly had shows during our reconstruction. Furthermore, we excelled during the regularly scheduled inspections by the manufacturer and city. After some long days and nights, the project was completed successfully on every level! Farha Roofing did a final walk-through with the City of Denver and the management team at the Ogden Theatre to ensure everyone was pleased. All parties were more than satisfied with the roof!
