Everything You Need to Know About Our Roofing Services

1. How do I know if I need a new roof?
If you’re wondering whether your commercial building needs a new roof, look for key signs of damage or aging. Consider the roof’s age, as most commercial roofing materials have a specific lifespan. Frequent repairs, visible damage like cracks or sagging, water leaks, or energy inefficiency are strong indicators that a replacement might be necessary. Additionally, issues like pooling water on flat roofs or blistering in the roofing material suggest underlying problems. Regular inspections by a professional can help confirm whether repairs or a full replacement is the best solution.

The average lifespan of a roof can range from 20 to 50 years, depending on the materials used in its construction. Don’t wait for visible signs of damage to appear, contact us today!

The installation or replacement of a commercial roof typically takes anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on various factors. These include the size and complexity of the roof, the type of roofing material used, weather conditions, and whether it’s a new installation or replacement.

The best roofing type for your flat roof commercial building depends on factors like budget, climate, building usage, and maintenance preferences. Here are the most popular options:

  1. EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer): Known as “rubber roofing,” EPDM is durable, weather-resistant, and cost-effective. It can last over 40 years and is ideal for varying climates. However, it is typically black and less reflective unless coated.
  2. TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin): TPO is lightweight, flexible, and energy-efficient due to its reflective properties. It’s environmentally friendly and easy to install but can be vulnerable to punctures and extreme weather.
  3. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): PVC roofs are durable, fire-resistant, and energy-efficient. They are more expensive than TPO or EPDM but offer excellent chemical resistance, making them suitable for industries like food production.
  4. BUR (Built-Up Roof): Also called “tar and gravel,” BUR systems are highly durable with multiple layers for added protection. They respond well to thermal shock but can be costly to install.
  5. Metal Roofing: Metal roofs, including aluminum or steel panels, provide longevity and durability. They are energy-efficient and aesthetically versatile but may require higher upfront costs.
