Renovation of a detention facility in Sandy Hook, Kentucky. Completed plans call for the renovation of a 196,440-square-foot detention facility.

The project involves campus-wide roof repairs and replacements at the Little Sandy Correctional Complex, Department of Corrections, in Sandy Hook, Kentucky. The work includes removing and replacing approximately 196,440 square feet of roofing material on State Houses, General Housing Units, Facility Building, Minimum Security Unit, East Region Training Center, Restricted Housing Unit, and the Gym/Chapel/Academic Building. Existing roofing systems to be replaced include two-ply modified bitumen, asphalt shingle, and metal roofs, while new installation will consist of a two-ply SBS modified bitumen re-cover system, asphalt shingles, and sheet metal roof. All pre-finished metal roof coping caps, flashings, accessories, and terminations are to be replaced. Some buildings not receiving a new roof will also receive new gutters and downspouts.
