How to Choose a Commercial Roofing System for Your Business
How to choose a commercial roofing system: rank what your business needs most from the roof (lowest energy use, fewest leaks, least disruption, lowest cost over its life), find out what the existing roof and structure allow, apply California’s rules for your building, and then compare complete systems and their installers on life-cycle cost rather […]
Commercial Roof Life Cycle Cost: The Smart Way to Choose a Durable System
Commercial roof life cycle cost is everything a roof costs you from installation to removal: the installed price, the energy it saves or wastes, maintenance and repairs, business interruptions, and what it will cost to put the next roof on. Divide that total by the years the roof serves and you have its cost per […]
Top Benefits of Professional Commercial Roofing (and How to Check You Get Them)
The benefits of professional commercial roofing are practical ones: a licensed, insured contractor pulls the permit and meets the energy code, installs the system so the manufacturer will stand behind it, carries the insurance that keeps a rooftop injury off your books, and leaves you the records owners, tenants, buyers and insurers ask for. Here […]
Your Guide to the Types of Commercial Roofing Services
The main types of commercial roofing services are inspection, repair, preventive maintenance, restoration coating, recover, full replacement, new installation and emergency leak response. Which one a building needs depends on the roof’s condition, how much water is trapped inside it and how long the owner plans to keep it. This guide explains what each service […]
Energy Efficient Commercial Roofing: Cool Surfaces, Insulation and Upkeep
Energy efficient commercial roofing pairs a reflective surface that keeps the sun’s heat off the building with enough dry insulation to slow the heat that still gets through. White or rated reflective membranes, cap sheets and coatings do the first job, insulation to California’s code level does the second, and regular cleaning keeps the surface […]
Top Commercial Roofing Materials: Pros, Cons and Best Uses
The top commercial roofing materials are single-ply membranes (TPO, PVC and EPDM), modified bitumen, built-up roofing (BUR), metal panels and spray foam with a coating; each has clear pros, cons and best uses depending on the roof’s slope, what sits on it, and how the building is used. In California, a commercial low-slope reroof also […]
Best Commercial Roofing Systems for Your Type of Business
The best commercial roofing systems are the ones matched to what happens on and under the roof: a restaurant with grease exhaust needs a grease-resistant membrane such as PVC, a warehouse with a large simple roof suits a reflective single-ply, a building that cannot tolerate a leak benefits from multi-ply redundancy, and an aging metal […]
Commercial Roof Replacement: When to Replace and What the Project Involves
Commercial roof replacement is the right call when repairs no longer keep the building dry: leaks return after repeated repairs, insulation under the membrane is wet across large areas, or the membrane is brittle and splitting across the field. A replacement removes or recovers the old roof, repairs the deck, and installs a new system […]
TPO vs EPDM Commercial Roofing: Choosing a Reliable Membrane
TPO vs EPDM commercial roofing comes down to seams, color and what sits on the roof: TPO is a white thermoplastic sheet with heat-welded seams that meets California’s cool-roof values easily, while EPDM is a flexible synthetic rubber, usually black, with taped seams and a long record in every climate. On most California commercial reroofs, […]
