Unfortunately, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer to this question. The fact is, your roof is an investment protecting your business assets. Remember that quality roofing materials and contractor workmanship can bring value in your commercial roof and longevity. Opting for a cheap and quick fix now, will likely cost you more in the long run. Several factors play into the cost of your new roof or roof repair, such as:

•     Size of your roof or the roof area that needs repair
•     Shape and slope of your roofline
•     Condition of structure beneath the roof

It depends on the design and quality of the roof, in addition to the roof maintenance. To avoid damage and replacement before the life expectancy of the roof, keep roof clear and allow proper drainage. Commercial Roof Tech can provide roof maintenance. 

In the matter of structural longevity, it’s usually best to tear off the old roof, particularly if insulation is wet or deteriorated, or if concerns exist with respect to the condition of the underlying structure. A complete tear-off results in higher costs and often some inconvenience, it is the preferable option to meet city codes and provide the best protection of your building and assets.

This can depend on several factors, such as frequency of foot traffic, mechanical equipment on the roof, visibility to others, solar reflectivity, etc. Our team of qualified commercial roof techs assess all options and provide estimates and recommendations to suit your needs.

Not necessarily. Repair work is very common and can fix some problems. Commercial Roof Tech would send a qualified roof contractor to inspect the damage and roof and provide options for repair and/or replacement.

Lack of maintenance and dealing with leaks and issues before they get too bad. Proper clearing and insuring the drainage is working are key.
