As a business owner, the commercial roofers at Coates Bros. know that maintaining your building is one of your top priorities. Owning or running a business or managing a commercial building is incredibly stressful as it is, but if you have a leaking roof, it can cause expensive damage. Replacing the roof of your commercial building might sound intimidating, but it can be a necessary investment when the time comes. We also want to clarify that there are circumstances where you might just need repairs vs. a full replacement. To help you know recognize the difference, our crews put together a list of the top 3 signs that you need replace your commercial roof.
1. The roof has substantial leaks that cannot be repaired.
This is an obvious sign. Do you have spotting on the ceiling of your commercial building? Or worse, do you see pools of water or pieces of ceiling on the floor? If your roof is leaking and you’ve already tried making repairs to the weak spots, it’s probably time for a commercial roof replacement.
2. The current roofing material is deteriorating.
If you can access your roof and notice that the materials look like they are starting to crumble, crack or deteriorate, it’s a sign that you should get the roof replaced. Repairs might hold you over for a while, but ultimately the problem will keep surfacing.
3. It’s been over 20 years since the roof has been replaced.
If your commercial roof hasn’t been updated in a long time, it may be smart to consider getting it looked at. You don’t always need to wait till something goes wrong to make a decision! Taking preventative action by replacing the roof before you get a major leak can help protect what is inside your building and save you from costly repairs.
