The Three Rs of Commercial Roofing

Repair

Roofing professionals usually perform repairs alongside routine maintenance. It’s the typical solution to minor problems that have the potential to become leaks. Repairs are only for fixing minor issues. Attempting to repair major problems will only cost you more in the long run. For instance, constant repairs often indicate the need for a new roof.

Restoration

Sometimes, restoration is enough to bring back your roof to a good condition. According to an International Facility Management Association (IFMA) study, as much as 85% of commercial roofs were replaced when it was actually unnecessary. It typically occurs due to misinformation, which is why you should only work with experienced and reliable professionals.

Replacement

If your roof can no longer be repaired or restored, replacement is the way to go. This route is ideal for extensively damaged or aging roofing systems. Experts suggest this solution for roofs with several leaks and at risk of collapsing.

Why Their Order Matters

Before getting a new roof, you should consider repairs and restoration first. Taking note of this order each time your roof has a problem will help you save on unnecessary costs. With proper assessment, you will know what your roofing system needs. Regular inspections will also help you determine when a replacement is necessary and allow you to prepare for it.
