Envision Construction is the contractor you can trust for all your commercial roofing needs. Our experienced team of roofers is equipped to handle any job, big or small. We take pride in our work and guarantee customer satisfaction.

Commercial roofing needs are just as important, if not more, than residential. A leak can cause damage to inventory, create a slip-and-fall hazard, and make working conditions difficult. Business owners also have a responsibility to customers to provide a safe and clean environment to shop. Not only can damaged roofs cause leaks, but they can create mold, allow pest infestations, and cause electric issues, including fires.

As a business owner, the most beneficial option when roof repairs happen is to have them repaired right away. At some point, you might also need to have the roof replaced in order to maintain our business insurance and protect your assets. Whether you need repairs or replacement, trusting a contractor with commercial roofing experience is the best way to protect your company.

Signs You Need Commercial Roofing Repair

While roof repair is necessary for both businesses and homes, it is commercial roofs that can cause extra problems. Besides the same type of issues seen in residential areas, there are added concerns over customers, inventory, and equipment. Because of this potentiality, it's crucial to take care of repairs as soon as they're spotted.

Here are the most common commercial roof repairs to watch out for:

Energy Spikes

If you notice a spike in energy costs, it could be due to cracks or holes in the roof. Some other issues could be damaged flashing on chimneys or vents and the roof is no longer airtight.

Water Leaks

Leaks in the roof may not always be apparent by pooling water or dripping from the ceiling. While leaks are never good, the accumulation of moisture can cause water stains on the ceiling, equipment issues, mold, and pest infestation.

Damaged Ceiling Tiles

As mentioned above, ceiling tiles can become stained from water damage. It is important to also keep an eye out for sagging tiles or bowing supports.

Bubbling

Many business roofs are flat and have a single-ply roof material. Bubbling can occur when moisture is trapped between the roof and the material below. One or two bubbles are not a big deal, yet four or more should be a cause for concern.

Bald Spots

If you have a pitched roof, any bold spots or missing shingles indicate you need to have repairs completed.

Roof Seams

Any opening in the seam of the roof or damage to the fastenings, a roofing technician should be contacted.

If you have already noticed some damage, give us a call for repairs before a small problem becomes a big problem.

How Can a Damaged Roof Affect Your Business or Commercial Property?

Roof damage can cause significant issues in a business or commercial property. These issues can be very costly and hurt your bottom line. Here are the most significant problems it can cause:

  • Slip and Fall Hazards: A water leak in a business can cause slip and fall hazards for the customers and the employees, which can cause serious damage.
  • Inventory Damage: Businesses, such as retail stores, hold a lot of inventory in their location. Water leaks and excess moisture can create significant damage and dramatically lower the ROI for the business owner.
  • Equipment: Many companies also have expensive equipment that can be damaged by water and the rust it can cause.
  • Pests: Openings in the roof can allow small rodents to enter the building. Also, excess moisture can attract insect infestation.
  • Rising Energy Costs: As mentioned above, roofs that are not airtight allow energy to escape the building. This will cause an increase in energy costs.
  • Financial Costs: A roof that needs to be repaired can hurt the bottom line in more ways than one. Repairs that are put off will eventually require a replacement. Also, large repairs or emergency situations can cause downtime in the business.
  • Appearance: Finally, a damaged roof can have a shabby appearance, causing the facade of the building to suffer.

Commercial Roofing Options & the Benefits

Depending on the type of building you own can make a difference in the material you choose for a roof replacement. Different roofing types also have different benefits depending on your needs. Here are the six most common commercial roofing materials available.

  • Built-Up: Built-up membrane or BUR is the most common tar and gravel roof. It is the most durable and cost-efficient.
  • Modified Bitumen: This is similar roofing to built-up. It is applied in layers and requires little maintenance. It is also cost-efficient and durable.
  • Thermoset: Also known as EPDM, this is a rubber roofing that is very durable, especially for ultraviolet light and ozone. It is flexible, requires little maintenance, and keeps cooling energy costs low.
  • Metal: Metal roofing comes in a variety of looks and types, from steel to aluminum. While it is fire-resistant, it does require coating due to its capacity to rust. The cost can vary depending on the type of metal and coating; however, with the right care, it can outlast other options.
  • Thermoplastic: This type of roofing is great for resistance against chemicals, oils, and UV light. Typically made of PVC or TPO material, it is durable and requires less maintenance. The cost is average, and it is great for restaurants.

When it comes to your business, you do not want to leave the care of your roof to just anyone. A professional commercial roofing contractor will have the knowledge and experience to make sure your roof is repaired correctly. They will also have the ability to install a new roof with little disruption to your daily operations.

Recommended inspection timeline: 2 times annually- ideally, Spring and Fall with a Time-stamped photo inspection report.
