IDS Crystal Court - Minneapolis, MN

More than thirty years of water leakage caused significant damage to the roofing between the skylights over the IDS Crystal Court. AMBE LTD devoted three years researching the best solutions and products, writing exact repair specifications and writing safety guidelines and procedures. Working under our supervision, Peterson Bros. Roofing was able to overcome inherent problems necessitated by working during daylight hours and completed the job on-time and on-budget. We are proud of the completed work, in terms of both waterproofing and job safety.
