Your commercial roof is a big investment in your building.

We want to share with you some secrets in creating a high-performing commercial roofing system so you can get the most out of your investment.

 

1. Durability and Proper Materials

It is important that you work with a qualified contractor to determine what materials are right for your building’s needs. The durability of the materials on your roof is essential to ensure a long lifespan. Cheaper short-term roofs may seem like a good idea at first, but in the long run, you will spend more on repairs and your roof needing to be replaced too soon. Choosing the correct membrane and insulation for your specific needs is critical in achieving a high-performance roof.

2. Proper Installation

Whether you choose cheap or high-quality materials, it will not matter if they are not properly installed. If materials are not installed correctly this will have a huge impact on the lifespan of your roof. Do your research and find a reputable roofing contractor that has had a lot of experience working with the kinds of roofs you are looking to install.

3. Maintenance

The best way to ensure the lifespan of your roof is to perform regular inspections and maintenance. Regular inspections by your roofing contractor can identify and solve small issues on the roof before they turn into larger and more expensive problems. It is recommended that you perform yearly inspections or twice yearly if you can. You should also clean your roof as often as possible to prevent debris from creating punctures in the membrane.

4. Choosing the Right Roofing Contractor

The last secret in creating a high-performance roof is working with a qualified roofing contractor. If you are planning a reroof, an experienced and reputable contractor will be able to recommend the best materials for your budget and your needs. They will also be there to help you maintain your roof and increase its lifespan throughout the years.
