Reroofing and waterproofing the Ringling Museum was a very challenging and detailed project involving tear off and reproofing of the existing roof and tear off of the loggia walkways and waterproofing the loggia walkway decks. This project was performed while the museum was in full operation and exhibiting over 300 million dollars worth of insured artwork in the Ruben Gallery.

This project involved the removal of the existing low slope roofing system, installation of temporary roofing, rigid insulation board and insulating lightweight concrete deck, new modified bitumen roofing system, copper flashing, new HVAC duct and support stands, pigeon control and providing temporary environmental/climate control in art museum during construction. The project also included removal of the existing marble tile flooring and mortar bed around courtyard and loggia. Installation of a sloped concrete deck filler, modified bitumen membrane waterproofing underlayment (roofing), drainage mat, mud set base, marble tile flooring to match existing, and new plaza deck drains to new stormwater downleader systems.

Other portions of the project included :
Remove, repair and replaced deteriorated reinforcing steel and cracked structural concrete around courtyard and loggia.
Clean, treat, patch and repair damage cast stone statuary at roof perimeter.
Clean grout and seal joints and cast stone balustrade rail.
Clean, repair, waterproof cast stone cornice ledge.
Clean, repair, and replace damaged cast stone cornice brackets.
