Commercial Roofing Replacement

We understand that your commercial roof is a crucial part of your establishment, representing your business and providing essential protection. However, it's important to be knowledgeable about the key criteria for roof replacement or repair, as these services require time and a significant investment. The roof serves as a foundation and umbrella for other elements of the building, such as the ceiling and adjacent walls, relying on its integrity. So, how do you determine when it's time to replace or repair your roof? Let's find out.

Ideally, it's best to take a proactive approach and address any issues before they worsen. However, we recognize that financial constraints may sometimes impede immediate action. The good news is that by understanding the dynamics of commercial roofing systems and recognizing key factors, we can prepare ourselves for potential issues.

Factors Affecting the Lifespan of Your Roof

The lifespan of a commercial roof is influenced by both internal and external factors.

• Internal Factor: The lifespan of your roof depends on the type of materials used. For instance, asphalt shingles typically last 15–30 years, concrete roofs can endure for 30–50 years, and metal roofs have an estimated lifespan of 50–70 years.
• External Factor: Outside influences, such as sun exposure, contact with trees, and weather conditions, can impact your roof's longevity. Just as UV rays can harm our skin, prolonged exposure to the sun can cause damage to your roof over time. Roofs surrounded by trees may be vulnerable to damage from fallen limbs or branches. Weather disturbances like strong winds, storms, hail, and blizzards are common scenarios that may necessitate repair or replacement.

Determining the Right Time for Roof Replacement or Repair

While every business hopes that their new roof will last for years to come, unexpected events can occur—storms, for example—that are beyond our control. Additionally, poor decisions made in the past, such as selecting the wrong roofing system or inadequate maintenance, can impact the longevity of your roof.

When faced with a roof crisis, commercial building owners often need to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of roof replacement versus repair. Alongside financial considerations, factors such as the extent of the damage, its impact on the overall structure, the need for a temporary fix or long-term solution, and any future construction plans or expansions must be taken into account.
