Let’s be real. Builder-Client Relationships can be challenging. Not every project is a good fit for both parties. Sometimes this isn’t known until the project is well underway, and it can ultimately lead to a mutual split or one party deciding sever the relationship. Those of us involved in the construction industry for an extended period of time have experienced this in one way, shape, or form. Where am I going with this?
When Cobalt Construction Management and LBS began talks of working on a few projects together, we learned that they inherited a build that was on the tail end of the framing stage with a flash coat of spray foam in the roof system. Unfortunately the flash coat installation did not go very well, and the spray foam began to pull away from the rafters. This issue, coupled with some sections of the water and air control layer needing some rework, had Chris and crew searching for effective yet budget conscious solutions to remedy these issues and get the project back on track.
Stripping out sections of sheathing and removing the existing spray foam was a costly and time consuming option to say the least. With the Cobalt Crew focused on managing bulk water and finishing off the frame, we took on the Air Sealing scope. The air control layer, although compromised, was indeed continuous, making this project a perfect candidate for a Post Rough-in AeroBarrier Installation.
