Commercial Roof Repair: How Durable is Your Commercial Roofing System?

As the snow begins to fall and building leaks begin to occur, some building owners are learning the hard way that their commercial roof system is not up-to-par. Sadly, this neglect of regular commercial roof repairs can result in very costly emergency leak repairs. However, with regular commercial roof repairs and proper roof maintenance, emergencies such as this can certainly be minimized, if not eliminated. By scheduling regular roof inspections, patching small leaks before they become larger, and employing other preventative roof maintenance measures, you can increase the lifespan of your roof, save money on unnecessary heating/cooling, ensure the safety of building workers/patrons, and save money on emergency leak repair services that could have easily been prevented.

The popularity of commercial metal roofing applications grows at a healthy rate every year due to the countless advantages that metal roofs offer. Commercial metal roofs are durable, long-lasting, versatile, and light-weight thus requiring little-to-no maintenance for many years. Additionally, commercial metal roofing systems can help reduce energy consumption, smog, and urban heat island effect. Metal roofs can last 50 years or more and most manufacturers offer 10 year warranties on any metal roof repairs. Typical commercial metal roofing materials include prefinished steel (a weathertight and finished warranties up to 30 years), copper (a weathertight warranty up to 30 years), and zinc (a weathertight warranty up to 30 years).

If your business is looking to go “green” and save some money than installing a commercial solar roofing system may be just the key.

Crystalline is a very durable products with shatter resistant glass and resistance against hail. Thin Film Laminates are severe hail and hurricane wind certified. Solyndra is both hail and wind resistant.

Commercial steep roofing is a popular application to add an aesthetically pleasing look to any commercial building. Popular commercial steep roofing materials include slate, shingles, and tiles. Slate is a very durable product that lasts for a lifetime. Shingles are a very durable and economical product that typically lasts 20-50 years. Broken or missing shingles can easily be replaced and fixed during the lifespan of the roof. Tile is also a very durable product that lasts roughly 50 years.

As one of the most popular commercial roof applications, commercial flat roofing options, such as EPDM, TPO, and PVC, are durable, economical solutions for your commercial roof. All three commercial flat roofing applications maintain a manufacturer warranty of 10-30 years depending, and if properly maintained can last for many more years. Commercial flat roofing applications are some of the most popular on the market due to durability, lifespan, and affordability.
