We're sure it's not your first time to have a commercial roof, but it might be your first time to have it serviced. Here are nine things you should know about commercial roofs to ensure you're maximizing the service and getting the best benefit for your roof.
Roofs with regular maintenance mitigates damage from wear and tear and adverse weather conditions. Regular inspections, debris removal and proactive repairs are essential to prolong the roof's lifespan and excellent performance.
The durability of a commercial roof largely hinges on the materials utilized. Options range from metal, which can last up to 50 years, to asphalt shingles that might require replacement every 15-20 years. See if your budget can work with any of these roofing materials - you can be sure they're both great options.
Commercial roofs are vulnerable to high winds, hail and heavy snow. Regular inspections and maintenance by qualified professionals can prevent minor issues from escalating and safeguards your property against potential weather-related dangers.
All commercial roofing must comply with specific building codes distinct from residential roofing. Employing knowledgeable contractors who are familiar with these regulations ensures high-quality installations and adherence to safety standards.
Commercial roofs usually span larger areas and require more materials, labor and a professional approach for installation and maintenance. Furthermore, they require more insulation for improved energy efficiency and indoor comfort. That also means residential roofers might not necessarily have the skills, equipment and certification to install commercial roofs, but ask them anyway.
For environmentally conscious property owners, roofing materials, depending on their type, can often be recycled. This process reduces waste and supports sustainability efforts. Metal roofs and asphalt shingles are two greatly recyclable materials.
Flat roofs are prevalent in commercial properties due to their efficiency in space utilization, cost-effectiveness and ease of maintenance. They facilitate the placement of HVAC systems and other equipment.
Addressing roof repairs promptly is critical to avoid significant damage and unnecessary expenses. Effective repairs enhance the roof's performance, extend its lifespan and contribute to the overall safety and structural integrity of the building.
When seeking roofing solutions, hire experienced professionals who can offer tailored advice and services. They can help you select materials to understand the specifics of installation and maintenance.
