Crews make quick work of new city hall roof
YALE — An army of workers invaded Yale City Hall last week, replacing a roof over the city offices and police department.
Headed up by Moza Construction of Yale, the workers were on the job bright and early last Monday morning and made quick work of a big job. Portable trailers were brought in to haul away the old shingles and deteriorated wood.
All of the work was done while city office staff carried on their workday and while voters came to City Hall for early voting.
“We just wrapped up a full roof replacement on Yale City Hall (last week). We stripped off two full layers of old shingles down to the deck, repaired damaged sheeting (13 sheets of plywood), and had all 84 squares laid back down the same day. Tear-off, cleanup, and a brand new roof, start to finish, before the sun went down,” Moza Construction owner Joe Moza said.
The project has been discussed by Yale City Council at several previous meetings, prior to the work being done. It was estimated the total bill for the work will be just over $44,000. The old roof was reported to be at least 30 years old. Other necessary repairs include an HVAC system replacement of outdated units on the roof of City Hall.
