Cajundome Roof: Wow

[JMV JustMyView]

Before they cleaned it in 2016 it was pretty dirty but definitely not that dirty.

It was dirtier than it is now.

You are correct. Almost The entire roof was black.

I sprayed a portion of my roof with liquid copper fungicide. It looks like it worked ok but not entirely clean. I will have to reapply this summer.

It had a warranty too. I pass by the dome 4 times a day and have to look at it every time.

From the article back in 2017:

The product, Kymax by GAF Coatings, was applied to the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina. When the Cajundome staff prepared bid specifications for the roof resurfacing project, it included that as an alternate, not sure if it was affordable, but the bid came in at an affordable $50,000, he said.

The use of that material, Ashurst said, secured the Cajundome a 20-year clean warranty instead of a 10-year warranty.

Hi, I’ve been trying to reach you regarding your extended dome cleaning warranty.

O it was a lot worst than that. I pass it every day for the last 20 years and before the last cleaning was the worst.

Holy crap you're right. I honestly didn't remember it being that bad, I don't know why...

[CharlieK]

What is the cost to clean? Why is this not just in the yearly budget as a maintenance item? It's not like we don't know the kind of environment this building resides in....

More examples of Louisiana (the state) half assing every thing.

I get it now, mold is a school color.

Doesn't the city of Lafayette own the cajun dome. Doesn't seem like it should be our responsibility to keep the roof clean.

UL owns the Cajun Dome, the city funds it.
