Blue's Roofing tore off a 24,000-square-foot (2160-m²) built-up roof (BUR) area and installed an SBS-modified bitumen roof system.

Etcheverry Hall houses the university's departments of industrial engineering and operations research, mechanical engineering and nuclear engineering.

Weekly meetings included the roof consultant; a University of California, Berkeley, project manager; Blue's Roofing's superintendent; a building coordinator; and an inspector of record.

The plaza deck area features Siplast Parabase, Paradiene 20 EG and Paradiene 20 PR set in hot asphalt.

In addition to roofing work, the company also refurbished redwood beams.
