Industrial Food Production Facility – GAF 50 Mil TPO | 20-Year NDL Warranty | Major Rooftop Equipment Cleanup
February 2026
Industrial Food Production Facility – GAF 50 Mil TPO | 20-Year NDL Warranty | Major Rooftop Equipment Cleanup Gold Key Roofing completed a complex commercial reroof on a high-demand food production facility responsible for preparing soups for Disney and pre-packaged airline meals servicing flights out of Orlando International Airport (MCO). With food safety, strict production schedules, and zero tolerance for water intrusion, this project required precision planning and disciplined execution. When we were called, the building was experiencing widespread roof leaks. The existing system had deteriorated over time, and the roof was cluttered with 13 abandoned HVAC units, outdated blowers, and improperly flashed penetrations. Many of these unused units were actively contributing to leaks due to rusted curbs and failed flashing details. Roof Preparation & Structural Corrections Before installing the new system, our team: Removed 13 abandoned rooftop AC units Reflashed all active mechanical units Eliminated unused blowers and obsolete penetrations Repaired multiple leak “hot spots” to stabilize the substrate Cleaned and reorganized rooftop layout for long-term serviceability Addressing these structural and waterproofing failures first was critical. We do not install new roofing systems over unresolved problems — we correct them properly. New Roofing System Installation The new system consists of a GAF 50 Mil TPO single-ply membrane, installed over a recovery board to create a smooth, reinforced substrate. All seams were professionally heat welded to ensure a monolithic waterproof barrier suitable for high-performance commercial and industrial applications. The owner evaluated six roofing proposals and ultimately selected Gold Key Roofing because of our focus on long-term integrity — not shortcuts. Our recommendation emphasized removing unnecessary rooftop clutter and solving the root causes of recurring leaks. On-Time Completion & Performance Recognition The project was completed on schedule, allowing uninterrupted facility operations. Due to the timely and organized execution, the owner awarded a completion bonus for meeting production-critical deadlines. 20-Year NDL Manufacturer Warranty The roof is backed by a 20-Year NDL (No Dollar Limit) manufacturer warranty, covering leaks and product defects. For a food production facility serving major clients like Disney and commercial airlines, dependable warranty backing was a key decision factor. Project Scope Highlights: Removal of 13 abandoned HVAC units Reflashing of active mechanical equipment Hot-spot deck repairs prior to installation Recovery board installation GAF 50 Mil TPO membrane system Fully heat-welded seams 20-Year NDL manufacturer warranty Industrial food production facility On-time completion with owner performance bonus Gold Key Roofing specializes in complex commercial reroofing, mechanical penetration correction, industrial roofing systems, and manufacturer-backed NDL warranties throughout Central Florida.
