Project Outline

JR&CO served as prime contractor for a full roof replacement at Journey Bible Church in Olathe, Kansas, covering 46,641 square feet. The scope included tear-off to the existing wood deck, self-adhered ice and water shield at low eave and valley conditions, synthetic underlayment across the full roof area, and Malarkey Vista Class 4 impact-resistant architectural shingles with compliant starter course and matching hip and ridge. Sheet metal work included drip edge, rake edge, step flashing and 24-gauge shop-fabricated head wall flashing.

Project Highlights

Installed 46,641 square feet of Malarkey Vista Class 4 impact-resistant architectural shingles over a full tear-off to wood decking.
Removed, stored and reinstalled approximately 1,200 linear feet of existing coping, avoiding the cost and lead time of new fabricated coping.
Lined the existing gutter system with 60 mil EPDM membrane, terminated with termination bar and water cut-off mastic, instead of a full gutter tear-out.
Fabricated and installed 24-gauge head wall flashing in-house.
Kept the campus safe and accessible for staff, members and guests through continuous staging, safety management and daily cleanup.

Significance

The building stayed in use throughout construction, and the replacement was funded through insurance proceeds, with scope subject to carrier review as conditions were uncovered during tear-off. As prime contractor, JR&CO handled permitting, trade partners, OSHA compliance and supplements directly with the carrier, giving the church a single point of accountability and keeping it out of the middle of the negotiation. The new Class 4 system upgrades the building’s hail performance for years to come.

Overview

Journey Bible Church is a congregation and community gathering space in Olathe, Kansas. JR&CO served as prime contractor for a full 46,641-square-foot roof replacement on the building, pulling all required permits, contracting and scheduling every trade partner, and staffing the project with a dedicated Project Manager and Superintendent.

Crews tore the existing roof off down to the wood deck, installed self-adhered ice and water shield at low eaves and valleys and synthetic underlayment across the full roof area, then finished with Malarkey Vista Class 4 impact-resistant architectural shingles and matching hip and ridge. Rather than replacing existing components, JR&CO removed, stored and reinstalled approximately 1,200 linear feet of original coping and lined the existing gutters with 60 mil EPDM membrane, restoring watertight performance while preserving the building’s original detailing.
