Frequently Asked Roof Replacement Questions
Before starting a roof replacement, we will inspect your roof, replace any rotted decking, and ensure proper ventilation. We’ll also protect landscaping and exterior surfaces from debris before tearing off old roofing.
Our roofers take precautions like tarps, plywood ramps, and magnetic nail catchers to protect your property. We restrict roof access, keep materials in designated areas, and clean up thoroughly. You can stay open as we work unless unforeseen issues occur.
Have a professional roofing contractor inspect your roof annually and evaluate its condition. They can best advise you on the current state of your roof and projected lifespan. Regular maintenance can extend the life of any roof.
Here are some common signs that your commercial roof may need repair or replacement:
- Leaks – If you notice water stains on ceilings, peeling paint, or actual dripping inside the building, this indicates leaks in the roof. Leaks tend to get worse over time if not addressed.
- Cracks or blisters – Look for any cracks, splits, blisters or bubbles in the roofing material. This can allow water to seep in and cause leaks.
- Excessive ponding water – If water pools in certain areas and fails to properly drain, it will cause roof damage over time. Ponding water is a sign the roof surface needs to be repaired.
- Missing or loose materials – Missing shingles, tiles, flashing or gravel on a flat roof indicates the roof is deteriorating. Any loose, cracked or curling materials need to be repaired.
- Damage around vents, skylights etc – Check all roof penetrations and seals around vents, AC units, skylights etc. Any cracked or worn sealing could lead to leaks.
- Age – Most commercial roofs have a lifespan of about 20 years. If your roof is older than this, it’s a good idea to consider replacement even if you don’t see any obvious signs of damage.
Here are some tips on deciding whether to repair or replace a commercial roof:
- Age of the roof – If the roof is over 20 years old, it may be time to replace it rather than continue repairing it, as the roof is likely near the end of its useful life.
- Extent of damage – Minor repairs may be okay for small leaks or limited damage. But if there are multiple leaks, signs of deterioration like cracking/curling, or 25% or more of the roof is damaged, replacement may be better than continuing repairs.
- Roof type – Single-ply or built-up roofs are often easier and less costly to repair than modified bitumen or metal roofs. The roof type impacts the repair vs. replacement decision.
- Frequency of repairs – If you are having to make repairs to the roof frequently throughout the years, at a certain point, replacement will be more cost-effective than continuing repairs.
- Location of damage – Repairs can work for isolated areas of damage, but if damage is spread across the entire roof or in multiple locations, replacement may be the better option.
- Budget – Replacement costs more upfront than repairs, so budget is a factor. Evaluate the long-term costs for frequent repairs vs. one-time roof replacement.
The general rule is repair when damage is minor, isolated, and infrequent. But if the roof is old, damage is extensive/widespread, or you are having to repair frequently, replacement may be the better long-term option. An assessment by a roofing professional can help make the right choice.
