Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Roof Replacements
Your questions about process, value, and materials, answered.
The first step for any commercial roof replacement is a thorough, professional assessment. It all starts when you schedule a free roof estimate with our team. We don’t just give you a number; we conduct a comprehensive inspection of your entire roofing system to understand its current condition. We check for signs of deterioration, water damage, and structural issues. From there, we discuss your specific needs and budget to recommend the best materials and approach, whether it’s for a flat roof replacement or a more complex sloped system. This initial consultation ensures our plan for your business roof installation is perfectly tailored to your property.
Deciding between repairs and a full replacement is a critical financial decision. Minor issues, like a single leak or isolated damage, can often be repaired. However, if you’re experiencing widespread problems like extensive blistering, persistent leaks in multiple areas, or if your roof is nearing the end of its warrantied lifespan, a complete commercial roof replacement is usually the smarter long-term investment. It prevents the cycle of costly, recurring repairs and protects your building’s structural integrity. A key part of our free roof estimates is providing an honest evaluation to help you make the most cost-effective choice.
Investing in high-quality commercial roof replacements does more than just stop leaks. A new roof, especially one using modern, energy-efficient materials, can significantly lower your building’s heating and cooling costs. It also enhances curb appeal and property value, which is a major benefit if you ever plan to sell or lease the space. Furthermore, a professional business roof installation comes with a long-term warranty, giving you peace of mind and protecting you from unexpected, costly damage for decades. It’s a proactive investment in the longevity and operational stability of your business.
We understand that you can’t afford to shut down. Minimizing disruption is a core part of our project planning for all commercial roof replacements. Our team works with you to create a detailed logistics and safety plan that accommodates your business hours and daily workflow. We often phase the project, working in sections to keep the majority of your property fully operational at all times. We maintain clean, organized, and safe work zones to ensure the project has as little impact on your employees, customers, and operations as possible.
What it’s made of: TPO is a single-ply membrane blend of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber. Its light color helps reflect UV rays, making it a popular “cool roof” option.
Applications & Durability: Ideal for flat roof replacements. TPO seams are heat-welded for a monolithic, watertight bond. It’s highly resistant to punctures and tears, with a typical lifespan of 20-30 years when properly installed and maintained.
What it’s made of: PVC is a durable, single-ply membrane made from polyvinyl chloride, also using heat-welded seams for superior strength.
Applications & Durability: Suited for flat roofs, especially those exposed to chemicals or grease (like restaurants). It offers superior resistance to fire and standing water, lasting 20-30+ years.
What it’s made of: EPDM is a synthetic rubber roofing membrane known for its durability and flexibility, especially in cold Michigan temperatures.
Applications & Durability: A popular choice for flat and low sloped roof replacements. It’s incredibly resilient to UV radiation and extreme weather, renowned for its longevity, often lasting 25-35+ years.
What it’s made of: Asphalt shingles consist of a fiberglass mat base coated with asphalt and embedded with ceramic granules for color and UV protection.
Applications & Durability: Primarily used on sloped roof replacements for structures like churches, apartment buildings, and retail centers. Modern architectural shingles offer excellent wind resistance with warranties from 25 to 50 years.
What it’s made of: Typically made from steel, aluminum, or copper, formed into profiles like standing seam panels that lock together.
