Duro-Last Twin Dolphins Case Study
Nestled on the picturesque Isles of Capri near Marco Island, Florida, the Twin Dolphins condominiums offer luxury waterfront living. However, years of exposure to Florida’s harsh climate had taken a toll on the complex’s roof. Persistent leaks and an aging modified bitumen system prompted the condominium association to seek a long-lasting, dependable solution. Kelly Roofing, a trusted local contractor, was selected to replace the 30,700-square-foot roof, delivering a system tailored to the unique challenges of the property.
Kelly Roofing began with a complete tear-off of the existing modified bitumen roof system, which revealed improperly attached insulation that exacerbated water pooling. The roof’s post-tension concrete deck prohibited mechanical fastening, requiring a specialized approach. Collaborating with Duro-Last’s Engineering Services team, Kelly Roofing conducted pull tests to determine the optimal fully adhered system for the project. “Duro-Last’s engineering support was invaluable in designing a system that fit the unique challenges of this building,” said Joe Kelly, vice president of sales at Kelly Roofing.
