As a protective layer, the roof is exposed to the elements, making it vulnerable to damage. Winds can remove or loosen roofing materials as well as throw objects against the roof causing punctures. Rain can collect in pools which weakens the roof, leading to leaks. Without proper maintenance and early identification of these issues, your roof can become seriously damaged. Weather and poor maintenance are the leading causes of roof damage and the five most common types of damage and how to fix them are below. 1. Problems with Installation Poor workmanship and low-quality materials are the top cause of roof damage. This is a common problem for those that are not familiar with roofing installations. Without this, you may not know what good-quality roofing looks like. The roof needs to be properly prepared and materials need to be adhered securely. Working with a professional and reputable roofer may cost a little more, but you can be assured of quality work, top materials, and proper installation techniques. 2. No Maintenance Commercial roofing has a large surface which means there is a large space to cover during inspections. These larger roofs are harder to maintain which is why a regular maintenance program is essential. With bi-annual inspections, you can identify potential problems early such as cracked materials, loosened flashing, and punctures. The earlier these are identified, the easier the repairs will be. 3. Leaking Water pooling and leaks are one of the most common roofing problems. Extreme weather, punctures and tears, worn materials, and poor installation can all contribute to leaking. With commercial roofing, loosened flashing is also a common cause of leaks, so this needs to be checked regularly. Any signs of leaking should not be ignored, and the source needs to be identified and repaired right away. 4. Bad Flashing Installation The flashing on commercial roofing can weaken over time. This essential barrier is crucial in the prevention of leaks, cracks, and billowing. Typically winds and rain caused damage to flashing, so checking it after any storms or severe weather can help maintain its longevity. If the flashing is loose or improperly sealed, serious problems and leaks can occur. 5. Prior Repairs Previous work or repairs that have not been done properly can cause issues. The work may have been done with low-quality materials or may not have been done properly. Bad repair work is a common cause of commercial roofing problems, so it is important to work with a reputable roofing company. Damaged roofing or leaks can be a serious problem and can cause you a lot of stress. Let us handle the work for you. With quality materials, and experienced roofers, you have one less thing to worry about and you get a safe, reliable roof that will last for years. So call us today for free estimate.

Often commercial property owners have to decide between getting a roof repair or a complete replacement. Determining the cost of replacement versus ongoing costs of repairs, combined with the potential disruptions, means that deciding on repair or replacement is a process that requires important consideration. There are numerous factors involved in roof repair and replacement. The longevity of an existing commercial roof is the best way to determine if choosing a new commercial roof is better than replacing an existing roof. But before you decide, let us help you find the best strategy to suit your specific needs. There are several questions that need to be answered first: What condition is the current commercial roof? How bad is the current damage? What is currently in the building? Are you interested in a long term or a short term fix? Once you have answered these questions, we can proceed with the process. A commercial roof that is in fairly good condition will have a membrane still within life expectancy and proper insulation in place. If you are looking to keep costs low, it is possible to repair the roofing only. You also need to establish an annual commercial roof inspection to help minimize any further damage to the commercial roof throughout the life expectancy of the membrane. If you find that your commercial roof needs extensive repairs, you have damaged insulation, or the roof is nearing the end of its life expectancy, it may be a better idea for a replacement. There are certain inconveniences with roof replacement, but having a new commercial roof installed will offer lower maintenance costs moving forward. Additionally, a new commercial roof can also offer outstanding energy savings as compared to an older roof thanks to modern advances in roof technology. It is essential to estimate costs for roof replacement as part of the decision making process. It is more costly than repairs and you will need to budget accordingly. To help you estimate the costs, there are a few factors to remember:  Fasteners: Roofing in areas prone to heavy winds will require more fasteners placed at more frequent intervals which will increase costs. Roofing type and material: Typically, the best material for a flat roof is built-up bituminous roofing or single-ply. Replacement costs can vary for single-ply, built-up, asphalt, tiles, and metal roofing. Depending on the material you choose, pricing can range from $3 to $20 per square foot. Roofing components: These components include the roof structure (concrete, metal, or wood decking), insulation, cover board, & other substrate materials. The condition of these materials impact re-roofing costs and how they were installed will impact overall costs. Access to the roof: Roof access can have as much impact on the cost to replace your roof as the type and material. Accessibility factors include height, occupancy, material storage areas, and property access. Closing Words Deciding between repairing or replacing a commercial roof can be a difficult decision for a commercial property owner. But, it is an essential decision that many building owners face. Before you make a decision, contact us to allow our team to help you determine which course of action makes the most sense. We will help you extend the longevity of your roof and protect the investment that you have made in your commercial property. Call us today and start protecting your roof’s future tomorrow.
