Commercial Roof Replacement Specialists Serving Charleston

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.

When is it Time for a Commercial Roof Replacement?

We don’t push clients toward commercial roof replacement versus commercial roof repair. Instead, our commercial roofing contractors 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 flat, SPF, and modified bitumen, to TPO roofs.

Here at Roofing USA, 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 repair, 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.

The Difference Between Replacing and Repairing Your Roof

At Roofing USA, we perform both commercial roof replacement and commercial roof repair. Commercial roof repair is performed for small problems like a single leak or a handful of missing shingles. The tasks are simple but necessary. Commercial roof replacement is different, in that we remove your existing roof and replace it with a new one, to ensure that it’s safe and operating optimally.

Commercial Roof Replacement FAQs

How do I know if my business needs a new roof?

Some common signs of roof damage that indicate that your commercial roof needs a replacement vs. a repair can include roof leaks, blistering that appears on the roof, and the roof's age. Storms and strong winds can lead to roof membrane uplift. Other signs of damage can include flashing wear and tear and failed downspouts. 

Water leaks often go unseen, especially in buildings with concealed roof undersides. Looking for secondary signs that you could need a roof replacement, like mold or ceiling water spots, is also crucial. 

Minor issues can be resolved with commercial roof repair to prevent worsening damage. However, with more significant problems, a commercial roof replacement becomes necessary. 

Detecting problems early can determine whether you'll need a roof repair or a complete roof replacement. 

Can I re-roof, or do I have to tear off my existing commercial roof?

A roof inspection is beneficial in choosing the best approach for your commercial roof repair or replacement. Our experts can help you determine if a recovery and re-roof is acceptable or if the existing roof should be torn off before the replacement. 

When should I schedule my roof inspection?

Scheduling a roof inspection for your commercial roof is crucial to ensure its longevity and prevent potential issues. We recommend scheduling inspections for commercial roofing systems annually, at a minimum. 

It's also crucial to have your building's roof inspected after severe storms, before and after winter, before significant roofing work, and if you notice any signs of damage, like roof leaks, clogged downspouts, or holes. 

How much will my new roof cost?

The cost of a new commercial roof can vary significantly based on several factors, including the roof's size and complexity, the type of roofing materials chosen for the roof replacement, the type of warranties your contractor offers, and the elements involved in the commercial roofing system. Ease of access to the roof can also impact the price of a roof replacement. 

To get an accurate estimate for your specific project, consult a licensed and certified roofing contractor like the team here at Roofing USA! We can assess your unique needs and provide a detailed quote. 

How long can I expect my commercial roofing system to last?

The lifespan of a commercial roofing system can vary widely depending on several factors, including the type of roofing material used, the quality of the installation, climate conditions, and maintenance. 

Built-up roofing systems, which typically consist of multiple layers of asphalt and roofing felt, can last 20 to 30 years or more with proper maintenance. Single-ply membrane roofing materials like TPO (thermoplastic olefin), EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) can have a lifespan of 20 to 30 years or more. Additionally, metal roofing systems can last 30 to 50 years or more. Modified bitumen roofing systems typically last between 20 and 30 years. 

To maximize the lifespan of commercial roofing systems, invest in professional installation, conduct routine inspections, address issues promptly, and perform recommended preventative maintenance.
