About Commercial Roofing Maintenance
The project type called Commercial Roofing Maintenance involves scheduled inspections, debris removal and attention to flashing and sealants; a seasonal schedule is a simple way to stay on top of the roof; the roof is checked after storms as well as on a set schedule.
Questions about Commercial Roofing Maintenance often start with the type of roof on the building and how it drains; low-slope systems, drainage and roof-mounted equipment are common considerations; membrane type, seams and edge metal are discussed in plain terms.
Commercial Roofing Maintenance options and materials
TPO and PVC membranes
Single-ply membranes can be attached mechanically, adhered or ballasted, depending on the roof; flashing at walls, drains and penetrations is where leaks tend to start on a flat roof; insulation boards under the membrane add thermal performance.
Asphalt shingles
The product comes in a broad range of colors, with textures that suit traditional and modern homes alike; a contractor can explain the differences between product lines; starter strips and ridge caps are part of a complete shingle system.
How our Commercial Roofing Maintenance work goes
- Assess the surface, the flashing and the attic The walk-over takes in the condition of the covering, the drainage, the flashing and the roof edge; where the decking or structure may be affected, that is flagged before any decisions are made; the pitch, height and access of the roof are noted so the work can be planned safely; notes are compared with the roof plan before any decision.
- Plan the project and the materials Repair, restoration and replacement are weighed against the condition of the roof and the plans for the building; questions about color, accessories and literature from the manufacturer are settled before the order is placed; samples of materials and colors are held up against the building; any extras are listed apart from the base plan.
Common questions about Commercial Roofing Maintenance
What should I do about a roof leak?
Safety comes first, so avoid climbing onto a wet roof or touching wet electrical fixtures; dry out the area to prevent mold and further damage inside; temporary patches are meant to last only until real repairs are possible.
How do metal and asphalt roofs differ?
The two differ in weight, appearance, installation method and how they handle weather; the most useful question is which material suits the way you use the property; samples help show how colors look in daylight.
What should a roofing estimate include?
Compare the materials, the scope of preparation and the extras line by line; be sure each bid covers the same system and the same scope so the comparison is fair; manufacturer information for the products should be available on request.
How do I decide between roof repair and replacement?
Small, contained problems are well suited to repair; a close inspection of the roof is a good way to tell the two situations apart; the condition of the deck below the covering is part of the decision.
