Commercial Flat Roof Replacement Project

Mizkan | Belding, Michigan

Commercial Roof Replacement for a Leading Food Manufacturer

Springfield Roofing completed a 19,037-square-foot commercial roof replacement for Mizkan’s food manufacturing facility in Belding, Michigan. As a global manufacturer of vinegars, sauces, seasonings, and other food products, Mizkan relies on dependable facilities to support continuous production. 

Project Challenges

The existing EPDM roofing system had reached the point where replacement was the best long-term solution. 

Several areas of the roof required additional insulation to improve thermal performance, while other sections required the existing roof to be relief cut to prevent additional membrane shrinkage. The project also included replacing gutters, skylights, roof access improvements, and updating perimeter edge metal. 

Because the facility remained operational, careful planning and coordination were essential throughout the installation. 

Springfield Roofing's Solution

Springfield Roofing installed a 50 mil mechanically fastened PVC membrane backed by a 15-year manufacturer’s warranty. 

The project included: 

  • Removal of debris, edge metal, and existing roofing accessories 
  • Relief cuts in the existing EPDM roof to eliminate continued membrane shrinkage 
  • Replacement of damaged decking and saturated substrate where necessary 
  • Installation of R-8.6 polyisocyanurate insulation on designated roof sections 
  • Installation of a 50 mil mechanically fastened, hot-air welded Duro-Last membrane 
  • New high-performance double-coated fastening system 
  • New aluminum two-piece edge metal and soffit system 
  • Custom-fabricated welded flashing at all roof penetrations 
  • Fully integrated drainage system at each roof drain 
  • New 24-gauge commercial gutters 
  • Replacement skylights with integrated fall protection screens 
  • Approximately 75 feet of rooftop walkway pads 
  • New roofing at the rooftop access doorway 

Every detail was completed according to manufacturer’s specifications before receiving both Springfield’s quality inspection and the manufacturer’s final inspection.
