A commercial roofing project is a significant investment, and you likely have burning questions that need answering. Whether you are looking for a commercial roofing contractor for new roof installation or repair of your existing roof, here are answers to some frequently asked questions.
What signs indicate the need for a new roof?
It’s important to accurately gauge if your building needs a new roof. Commercial roofs are designed to endure. However, if you notice water stains along the ceilings and walls, mold, or missing shingles, these cues must be addressed. Indications of roof issues also include worn roof covers, flaws in the roofing seams, bubbles along the roof cover, and gaps in roof flashing. The commercial roof’s age and resulting gradual wear must also be taken into account.
Can I re-roof without tearing off my existing commercial roof?
It is possible to install a new roof without tearing off the existing roof if you have only one roof on your building. However, if the building already has two roofs, this will not be possible as commercial buildings cannot have more than two roofing layers according to the law. Also, if your building has an unsafe, damaged, or unstable roof, your contractor will have to tear it off before installing a new roof.
How can I tell if my business needs a new roof?
We provide a free roof assessment to all our clients, which will help them determine the quality of their existing roofs. After the evaluation, if the roof has internal damages, such as roof leaks or mold, you may need to replace it.
When should I schedule my roof survey?
It’s best to contact a commercial roofing contractor in your area as soon as spring begins because contractors tend to be busy during warmer months. However, you should schedule a roof survey as quickly as possible if you find that there is a roofing emergency.
How much will my new roof cost?
Many factors contribute to the cost of a commercial roofing system, such as roof size, ease of roof access, condition of the existing roof, ease of roof penetration, type of warranty provided, choice of insulation and membrane, etc.
How long will my commercial roofing system last?
The lifetime of a commercial roofing system depends on many factors, from roof type to weather conditions. For example, a spray polyurethane foam roof can last 30-50 years, whereas a metal roof can last 30-45 years.
How long does it take to install a new commercial roof?
The time taken to complete a commercial roofing project depends on factors such as the size and type of roof, existing damage, inspections, weather, and permits. Each job is unique and could take from a few days to a few weeks.
How do I know which type of roof is right for my business?
Roofing experts at Integrity Pro Roofing can help you determine the best roofing system for your commercial facility based on energy costs, climate, and facility needs.
What should I do to preserve my commercial roof warranty?
You have various types of warranties to choose from when you purchase a new commercial roofing system, such as contractor’s warranty, manufacturer’s warranty, and complete system warranty provided by the manufacturers. The coverage of your warranty depends on the type of warranty you purchase.
