Expert Commercial Roofing Services You Can Trust
The commercial roofing system plays a vital role in safeguarding your facility from harsh elements such as snow, wind, and rain. Beyond protection, it provides insulation to maintain consistent indoor temperatures year-round, contributing to energy efficiency. Moreover, a well-maintained roof can significantly boost your facility’s resale value. However, even the most durable commercial roofs are susceptible to wear and tear. Over time, exposure to the elements can cause cracks, leaks, and other damages that demand prompt attention.
When Is Roof Replacement Necessary?
In some cases, minor repairs may be enough to restore your roof's integrity. However, if the damage is extensive, a complete roof replacement may be required. A licensed roofing contractor will work closely with you to determine the best solution based on the condition of your roof, your budget, and the specific needs of your facility. Once the decision to replace the roof is made, the team will carefully remove the old roofing material and install a new, more durable system. They’ll also ensure proper sealing and waterproofing to enhance the roof’s lifespan and prevent future damage.
Common Commercial Roof Repair Services
Commercial roof repairs involve restoring damaged roofing systems using various techniques, depending on the type of roof and the damage sustained. Here are some of the most sought-after commercial roof repair services:
1. Leak Repairs
Leak repair is one of the most requested commercial roofing services. Leaks can develop in multiple areas, such as the flashing, seams, or roofing material, and are often caused by mechanical damage, old age, poor installation, ponding water, or damaged flashing. Once our roofing contractors identify the source, they use proven methods to repair the leaks and prevent further damage.
2. Flashing Repairs
Flashing is a critical component that seals joints and edges where the roof meets other parts of the building, such as vents, skylights, walls, and chimneys. Damaged or improperly installed flashing can allow water to penetrate the roof, leading to leaks and structural damage. Licensed roofing professionals can repair or replace flashing to restore its protective function.
3. Ponding Water Solutions
Ponding water is a frequent issue for many commercial roofs, occurring when water accumulates on the surface and fails to drain properly due to poor design, structural issues, or clogged drains. If left unaddressed, ponding water can cause extensive damage, including mold growth and decreased energy efficiency. Solutions include installing or repairing drainage systems, adjusting the roof slope, or applying specialized roof coatings.
4. Roof Coating Application
Roof coatings offer a protective layer over your roof, improving UV protection, waterproofing, and reflective properties. Coatings are versatile and can be applied to a variety of roofing materials, including asphalt, single-ply membranes, and metal roofs. Benefits of roof coatings include:
- UV Protection
- Waterproofing
- Increased Energy Efficiency
- Environmental Friendliness
- Cost-effectiveness
There are several types of roof coatings, such as polyurethane, silicone, and acrylic. The choice of coating depends on your facility's needs and the existing roofing material.
