It is crucial to regularly maintain your commercial roof so it can function efficiently for many years to come. The simple truth is that not all roofs need to be replaced. In fact, as many as 85% of roofs are prematurely replaced due to poor information on proper maintenance procedures. A good blueprint to follow is the three Rs of roofing: repair, restore, repair.
Roof Repair
A cracked or missing shingle can be patched up quite easily. Slightly torn roof flashing should also be repaired as soon as possible to avoid moisture-related damage. It is important to conduct a roof inspection in order to identify small issues before they worsen and cause bigger structural damage that is often too costly to fix.
Roof Restoration
A roof restoration is an appropriate solution for a persistently leaky roof. It can restore the watertight condition of the roof and can extend its useful life in a sustainable method instead of filling a landfill with truckloads of tear-off material.
A roof can be a candidate for a restoration as long as it does not have wet insulation. This alternative can save you time, labor and money on replacement.
Roof Replacement
If roof leaks have permanently damaged the roof sheathing and structural integrity of your building, then you may need a complete roof replacement soon. Ripped and curling shingles due to old age are also common signs that you need a new roof. A sagging roof with unusual dips in the roof surface often indicate a serious underlying problem and needs to be replaced as soon as possible.
