3 Things Your Roof Repair Company Looks for When Evaluating a Roof

Jun 20, 2019

There’s nothing more important than to your commercial building than its roof. As a roof repair company, we encourage you to look into the process of constructing a commercial roof, the materials needed for it so you can look for quality materials as well as being able to identify signs of wear and tear, so you can tell when it’s time to perform maintenance.

Maintenance is key to making sure you don’t end up with a leaky roof, or worse. Here are a few things professional roofing companies look for when evaluating and maintaining a roof.

1. Signs of Damage

The most common sign that your roof is damaged and needs maintenance is, of course, a leaky roof. But you don’t need to let it get to that level of damage before you begin to maintain it. On both flat roofs and shingled roofs, look for plant growth, eroded, and broken areas.

You should also consider how old the roof is, even if you can’t spot damages yourself its best to seriously consider some renovation if the roof is passing 25 – 30 years of age.

Can’t tell if it’s a good idea to replace or how to spot damages on the roof, your roof repair company is always prepared to do an appraisal for you.

2. The Costs and Budget

Sometimes you don’t need to replace the entire roof, and sometimes you do. It’s important to consider your budget. Some roofs just need a touch up here and there; others need a full replacement. We at BML Roofing are committed to providing you with the best materials for replacement and make sure you are getting the best price and possible discounts based on your insurance policy.

Some commercial roofs are a flat surface and require layers of asphalt or tar while other roofs are valleyed which requires tiles or shingles.

If you have some extra cash lying around it’s also possible to perform upgrades to your roofs such as attaching a solar panel or stronger materials, there are many options available to you.

3. The Location and Environment

If you are living in an area that is constantly raining or more prone to natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, hail and more, then it’s important to consider what materials to be used and how often a full replacement is needed.

In areas of high-risk environmental conditions, it’s not a good idea to leave the roof unmaintained for 20+ years, and if t a natural disaster just recently hit the area then your roof repair company recommends you get an appraisal immediately. You should consider the safety of yourself, your customers, and products before budget concerns. BML Roofing will consider your circumstances and offer you the best, fair price.
