A commercial roof is typically a flat or nearly flat metal or membrane structure. Residential roofs are generally much steeper and come with various aesthetic options.
Commercial roofing options flood the market which makes it a difficult decision to choose the best one most suited for your needs. It is essential that you do your research on available types of commercial roofs and compare prices, makes and materials, and suitability.
It takes skilled roofing experts to meet the demands of either type of roofing. They can offer the best advice on which materials will work best for each situation. This is especially true for commercial roof installers due to the more technical nature of commercial roof installations and the complexity of the installation process. This is why commercial roofing companies with outstanding reputations who employ skilled installers, like Mint Roofing, are in great demand.
Commercial roofing systems are not too different from residential roofing in terms of function. Both are obviously used to protect property, but the former tends to focus more on purpose and function, while the latter does consider function but puts importance on design as well.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my new commercial roof last?
It depends on a variety of circumstances, including when the roof was constructed, how some are maintained, what materials were used, the weather in your area, and other considerations. The average lifespan of a commercial roof is between 10 and 40 years, depending on the type of roofing material used.
How should I prepare before the roofing company comes out?
Removing any items from your roof can help prevent damage during installation or when the debris is cleaned up. Make sure that gutters and downspouts are clear, no standing water is present to prevent mold growth, and you have a designated area for storage if needed.
