Things to Consider Before a Commercial Roofing Installation

When planning for any new commercial roof, it is a good idea to speak to a professional first. Even though you may have an idea about the appearance of your new roof, other factors must be considered. For example, some business owners may be primarily interested in protecting highly expensive equipment from water damage. Alternatively, another manager may be interested in keeping costs down by seeking energy-efficient roofing. Once the primary goal of the roof is determined, you can begin thinking about other features you may want. From improved ventilation to options for keeping pests at bay, the sky is the limit for your new commercial roof.

Our team offers a comprehensive approach that looks at all of the following:

• Durability: Certain materials have longer lifespans and can help you avoid having to replace your roof every few years.
• Style: Match the overall appearance of your roof to your business goals in order to attract potential customers.
• Price: Although the final look and durability of your roof is extremely important, it needs to stay within budget. Our team can help you find the right materials to fit your bottom line.

Types of Flat Roofing

Flat roofing is an excellent option for commercial buildings, both for function and appearance. Since they are made of highly durable materials, flat roofs can withstand harsh weather, such as wind and heavy rain. They are also easy to walk on, allowing ease of access. Deciding on the specific type of flat roofing can be tricky, however, since there are so many options.

Some of the most common kinds of flat roofs include:

• Thermoplastic membrane flat roofing (including PVC or TPO)
• Concrete flat roofing
• Modified bitumen flat roofing
• Metal roofing
• Rubber membrane flat roofing (EPDM)
• Spray-on flat roofing
• Green roofing
• Build up roofing (BUR)

Our skilled roofers can help you weigh the pros and cons of each type of roof before you you’re your final choice.

Replacement vs. Repair

At a certain point, every commercial roof is going to need work. Even the most modern roofs, built with durability in mind, will eventually begin to fail from old age. When this occurs, you may have a choice on whether to repair or replace your roof.

Repairs are generally cheaper than full replacements, but it is not always possible to repair or reroof a commercial building. For instance, if your property has already been reroofed, it would no longer be able to bear the weight of a new roof layer. Similarly, if there is bigger damage, such as holes, a damaged roof bed, or severe leaks, your roof may not be structurally sound enough to handle repairs.

Professional Roof Coatings

Roof coatings are a sound investment for commercial property owners who are looking to extend the life of their roof. North Carolina experiences many storms and even the toughest roof materials can suffer from high winds, rain, hail, and snow. Roof coatings can help extend the roof’s lifespan and protect them from the elements. Learn more about the right coating for your business by speaking to our team at Garliss Roofing.
