Why Commercial Roofs are Different:

Frequently Asked Questions
Please look at some of our frequently asked questions about commercial roofing. If you don't find your question listed, feel free to call us, and we'll gladly provide an answer.
What is the best roof for a commercial building?
For roofs larger than 5,000 square feet, we prefer to install TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) roofing due to its blend of durability and energy efficiency. The benefits include:
Durability: TPO resists UV rays, chemicals, and physical impacts.
Energy Efficiency: TPO has a light, reflective surface, which helps reduce cooling costs by deflecting UV rays and heat.
Versatility: TPO is suitable for various commercial building types, which is why it is our typical choice for commercial roofing projects.
Timely Installation: TPO is a lightweight material that is available in large sheets, facilitating faster installation compared to other roofing options.
What is the most common commercial roofing material?
The most commonly used roofing material is the modified bitumen roofing system. This system is prevalent largely because it has been around the longest. The modified bitumen roofing system builds upon the traditional built-up roofing technique, which has existed for over a century. These roofs are very durable, offer excellent water resistance, and come with various application methods, allowing maximum flexibility.
How do you inspect a roof?
Our roof inspection process combines advanced technology with expert hands-on analysis. Initially, we utilize aerial drones equipped with high-resolution cameras to capture a comprehensive visual overview of your entire roof, identifying general wear and areas of concern. Following this, we will conduct a detailed on-foot inspection, focusing on these areas of concern seen from the drone photos. This approach allows us to closely examine and assess the integrity of your roof, ensuring no detail is overlooked. Our combined use of aerial and physical inspections provides you with a thorough and accurate assessment.
What is the lifespan of a commercial roof?
Properly installed commercial roofs can last between 20 to 30 years. It's crucial to choose a reputable installer to ensure the job meets the manufacturer's standards. This not only guarantees that the roof is installed correctly but also qualifies you for the manufacturer-backed warranty. Such a warranty is essential because many businesses do not offer this level of protection. It provides an additional layer of assurance to customers, especially if the original installer is no longer in the roofing industry.
How can I extend the life of my commercial roof?
Your commercial roof's lifespan can be extended through the following methods:
Regular Inspections: We recommend having the roof inspected every 6 months to identify early problems before they escalate into major issues.
Prompt Repairs: Addressing any identified problems immediately can help extend your roof's life, preventing minor issues from developing into significant concerns.
Preventative Treatments: Installing waterproof roof coatings can significantly prolong your roof's lifespan. Water can cause the most damage and compromise the integrity of your roof; therefore, waterproofing when needed is crucial for maintaining its condition.
