Commercial Roof Replacement

The roof of a commercial building is vital to its structure. Like all roofs, however, commercial roofs can sustain damage, wear and tear due to aging, or weaken as a result of various factors. When this happens, your roof becomes more vulnerable to escalating damage. While it is often possible to repair damage without replacement, there comes the point in every roof’s lifespan when a full replacement makes more sense than endless repairs.

We don’t push clients toward commercial roof replacement versus commercial roof repair. Instead, we thoroughly inspect your building and your current roof to ensure that if we’re recommending a full replacement, it’s the option that makes the most sense for you practically and economically. We inspect various roof types from single-ply membrane, SPF, modified bitumen to flat roofing.

Here at Force Roofing Systems, every member of our team is highly trained and experienced in our industry. We know how to read the signs of easily repairable damage versus the indications that it’s time to invest in a full replacement. There are certain red flags that we look for, including:

Water Infiltration

This will be visible within the building in the form of leaks and water marks and stains. Often this is a sign of external roof damage, which if left unchecked, could cause even further damage to your business’ property. While this may be possible to remedy with commercial roof repairs, depending on the extent of the damage, it could signal the need for a full commercial roof replacement.

Damaged Roof Membrane

Harsh weather or general wear and tear could cause irreparable damage to commercial roofs. This includes lifting, curling or cracking of the roof’s membrane, all of which exposes the property to external elements, which can pose a hazard to your staff and business equipment.

Age

Unfortunately this is a factor none of us can get away from. Turns out roofs also have a finite lifespan too, which is made shorter if regular maintenance and repairs were not adhered to. Repairs can only add so many years on to the life of your commercial roof, but sometimes a commercial roof replacement is inevitable.

Of course, there are also many smaller tells that might not be obvious to the untrained eye, but our team will catch them! A problematic roof can escalate very quickly into damage that affects your entire building, so give us a call as soon as possible.
