Client Overview:
Northridge Bistro is a popular upscale restaurant located in Northridge, California. The establishment is known for its exquisite menu, cozy ambiance, and outdoor dining area that offers a picturesque view of the surrounding hills. However, the restaurant faced a significant challenge when leaks and water damage were detected on its roof, jeopardizing the overall integrity of the structure and potentially disrupting daily operations.
Problem Identification:

The management quickly realized the need for urgent roof repairs to prevent further damage and maintain the high standards associated with their establishment.
