Roof Repair:
A
commercial roof repair is a good option if the issues with the roof are
minor. Some roof damage can be repaired quickly and easily. If the
damage to the roof is extensive, consider roof replacement. Sometimes
the membrane is basically in good shape and has not met its life
expectancy. It is also wise to opt for commercial roof repair if the
roof has good insulation. Roof repair is great for the property or
building manager that is looking to keep costs to a minimum. Roof repair
is far less costly than a full commercial roof replacement. Commercial
roof repair will help to extend the life of the roof as well.
Roof Replacement:
If
the damage to your commercial roof is extensive then repair may not be
an option. If the roof has been previously repaired or recovered the
roof should be replaced. Common practice is to replace the roof if 25%
or more has been damaged. Insulation that has been damaged or gotten wet
will need to be replaced. Commercial roof replacements are a great long term solution
to commercial roof damage. Commercial roof replacement allows the
building manager to update the technology used in the roofing system.
The new commercial roof system will have lower maintenance costs, and
help to lower energy costs. Not to mention a new roof will more than
likely alleviate the headaches from constant issues with the old roof.
Coating:
Even
if there is no damage, commercial roofs can be coated to extend the
life of the roof. Coating your commercial roof provides extra protection
against leaks. Utilizing a reflective coating can reflect heat and
sunlight away from the building.This will keep the building cooler and
improve comfort. Reflecting heat away from the building will help lower
your energy bill. Not only is a coating less disruptive than other
options, but it is more cost effective too. Commercial roof coatings
will require general repairs and investigation to ensure the existing
roof is free of trapped moisture and the existing system is intact.
