Project Profile – Skyline Middle School Roof Replacement
Skyline Middle School Roof Replacement was awarded Sika Roofing’s 2022 Project of the Year due to its unique and complex design. This project required the removal and replacement of 203 squares of a built-up roof which spanned across multiple zones of the school. To ensure that no materials from one section leaked into another, these zones were properly contained and separated.

The success of this project serves as an example for future roof replacements projects, highlighting both Sika Roofing’s excellent craftsmanship and their commitment to the environment.
