Disaster Recovery

JP Allen Co specializes in and has a history of experience in providing disaster response services in the industry. Specializing in Commercial and Residential Roofing Disaster work we can send out our disaster response team that can assemble on a project to get it weathered in. With a strong and experienced staff, access to materials and manpower, we can quickly reduce the limit of exposure to wind and rain and the other elements that so quickly ravage a building after a storm.

ON SITE EVALUATION

Once our team is on site we will quickly stabilize the damaged areas and make sure that we mitigate any further damages by performing preventative repairs as assessed. We will subsequently perform a full survey of the damages, recommend or hire consultants to assist, and report the findings and costs using the industry standard Xactimate software.

Our team leaders will be available to meet with the insurance companies adjusters and go over the costs of the damages. Time and effort will be spent to make sure that each component of the loss is assessed and a fair and reasonable price for the repairs is agreed to.

We provide multiple project site work scopes: From immediate emergency repair work, blue tarp work, damage assessments, and on site project site supervision, installation and  project management the JP Allen Company has your needs covered.

With years of experience in General Construction we offer more than others. Our principal’s resume is long and extensive breadth and depth in building projects from interiors all the way up to the first Enron Tower in Houston, Texas


EXPERIENCE

During the fall of 2005 and again in 2006 the coastal states of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisianna were pummeled by a succession of strong Atlantic hurricanes.

JP Allen was enlisted by a local firm to go down to help out with the ravaged Gulf Coast area. Stationed out of Pascagoula MS, working with PSM and in conjunction with Commercial Roofers LLC of Arlington, TX and Affiliated Companies of Dallas, TX , JP Allen provides estimating, coordination, project management, procurement, on site management and supervision for many of the largest roofing projects under way. In addition to that there we a myriad of smaller roofing projects and construction projects that  had to be done during the over two years spent in the area.

The area of Bay St Louis, MS was close to the epi-center of land fall for Hurricane Katrina and out of that came projects such as the Hancock County Courthouse with its tile roof and hot mop roof work. In addition to that was the largest casino in Bay St. Louis the Casino Magic Hotel. The project consisted of several jobs such as green metal mansard seventeen stories in the air on a 40 degree slope, TPO roofing on the main casino, TPO roofing on the two story mechanical building, a green mansard roof on the golf club house, and Mule Hide applied coatings on the off site warehouse and the golf cart maintenance building.

The devastated city of Biloxi, MS in September of 2005 was trying to rebuild. Teaming with Affiliated, PSM, Commercial Roofers, LLC, JP Allen was tasked with managing and supervising the over 1,400 Squares of blue Met-Tile metal roofing that needed to be installed on the Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino. This project was not started until the first of October and had to be completed by Christmas for a grand re-opening of the casino. Working seven days a week was almost the norm during this period. In addition to having to furnish and install a new roof the team had to take off what was left of the over 1,400 squares of damaged metal roofing. The results spoke for themselves – On time as expected.

In August of 2008 the devastating Hurricane Ike came ashore just east of Houston, Texas. Our firm went down and performed a re-roof of over 1,250 square of GAF high definition shingles nailing them down to exceed the code in the area for which the property was built. The project was University Trace Town Home Association.

JP Allen Co has a reputation of providing good quality service and from time to time has called upon other contractors, who hold those standards, to Joint Venture projects that are of the size in nature that need quick and immiediate  attention. If you are an owner do not let our size deter you from calling on us. We can man up and respond as evidenced by our photo gallery.
