Are you a candidate for Commercial Roof Restoration?
Most people are aware that commercial restorations are a viable way of bringing failing roofs back to watertight condition and under warranty. Moreover, they are less disruptive and more cost-efficient than a complete tear-off and replacement.
It seems like a no-brainer, right? However, not every one qualifies. In order for a commercial roof restoration to be successful, a variety of factors must be considered.
WHAT TO CONSIDER
- What percentage of the insulation is wet?
- Do you know how many systems are currently in place?
- How much of the scrim is exposed?
- Are fasteners backing out? What percentage?
- How much water ponds on the roof? What is the slope of the roof?
- Is it unsafe to walk on because of severely rusted metal panels? (Metal roofs)
- Is the coating aluminized? (Metal roofs)
If you plan to hire a roofing company, ask them what percentage of their business is restorations versus replacements. It is not uncommon for a company that specializes in replacements to recommend replacement as the only solution. Thus, it’s best to consult a professional roofing company with considerable experience in roof restoration to get an objective opinion. Call Diversified Roofing!
