Commercial Roofing

Commercial roofing is the process of installing, repairing, or replacing commercial roofs on structures in order to protect the interiors from harsh weather conditions. Steel, metal, and asphalt shingle are the most common commercial roofing materials.

When it comes to the material used, there isn’t much of a difference between residential and commercial roofing services; rather, what type of building is being covered with the said material – this is crucial for clients working with a knowledgeable contractor they can trust.

The main distinction between residential and commercial construction is that instead of being built primarily for shelter, commercial roofs are designed to be watertight and as opposed to residential roofing, different types of materials are used. Commercial roofing must be able to withstand heavy snow loads, while residential roofing is designed to withstand hail, wind, and rain.

Commercial roofing services are used on structures such as churches, schools, large retail stores, and warehouses where water tightness is a primary concern. It’s an important part of the building envelope because it protects the contents inside from water damage or leaks.

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is used the most for commercial roofing.

EPDM rubber roofing, one of the most widely used commercial roofing materials today, is doubly desirable since it combines affordable price with durable strength. The synthetic rubber used in an EPDM roofing membrane is made of natural gas and oil.

If your commercial roof is old and worn out, your interior is likely to have been exposed to leaks or even flooding as a result of water damage, which could result in costly mould remediation services. This is the time to think about a commercial roof replacement or at the very least a professional inspection and repairs. When it comes to commercial roof replacement and repair, the process is far more complicated than when it comes to residential roofs. This is due to the fact that most commercial buildings have flat roofs that require waterproof membranes, as opposed to sloped residential roofs where water drains easily from gutters on both sides of the building’s exterior walls. You must also consider factors such as parking lots that may be part of a large office complex, as well as any mechanical equipment housed within these structures, both of which add to the project’s complexity.

Commercial roofing contractors and companies can assist you in determining which system is best for your needs, as well as provide a written estimate that includes labour and materials such as asphalt shingles or another waterproof membrane (such as EPDM rubber) required to complete the job. For those who prefer do-it-yourself projects, there are numerous videos on YouTube that show step-by-step installations, as well as related equipment such as rollers and squeegees that are needed during the application process.

As with residential roofs, the first step is to determine whether you require an entirely new roof or if repairs are sufficient as in some cases. Roof repair is an important part of commercial roofing services because it ensures that your investment is protected from natural disasters like storms and lightning.
