Commercial Roofing

When it comes to roofing, most people think about residential properties. However, a lot of work goes into maintaining a commercial roof. Not only can they withstand greater weight loads, but they also need to be able to resist weather damage and leaks.

One of the best ways to ensure that your commercial roof stays in good condition is to hire a professional roofing company, like Irvine Roofing. Our contractors have additional training and certifications to better deal with the specific needs of commercial roofs.

Working with a certified commercial roofing service isn’t just about getting the best possible price for your project. It’s also about knowing that the job will be done right the first time within a reasonable timeframe.

Commercial roofing is a big investment, so choosing the right contractor and material for your needs is essential. There are several factors to consider when choosing a commercial roofing system. Here are some of the most essential:

  • Climate. The climate in your area will play a significant role in deciding which type of roofing system is best for your business. If you reside in a region with a colder climate, you’ll need a roof that can withstand heavy snow loads. While you need a roof that can resist heat and UV radiation if you live in a hot climate.
  • Roof Size. The size of your roof will also dictate which type of roofing system is best for you. Generally, larger commercial roofs require more support and may need to be installed as a series of smaller roofs known as “zones,” with each zone having its equipment.
  • Loading. Loading refers to the amount of weight a roof has to bear. The roofing system must be able to withstand these loads without failing or creating other problems such as water infiltration. To calculate loading, you’ll need a Structural Analysis performed by a structural engineer who will consider factors such as snow load, wind load, and dead load from the building itself, plus live load from occupants and traffic. You can then use this information to determine which materials are strong enough for your needs.
  • Maintenance. Different types of commercial roofs have different levels of care. If you’re not comfortable with or don’t have the time to perform regular maintenance on your roof, you may want to consider a roof that doesn’t require much upkeep.
    Cost. The cost of a commercial roofing system varies depending on the type of material and contractor you choose. It’s important to get several estimates before deciding so you can compare prices and find the best deal.

Commercial Roof Installation Vs. Repair

Your choice of commercial roofers should begin with whether or not you want an entirely new roof or if you’ve got some work that can be done on the current one. While putting down a completely new layer of material might stand as good value over time, it’s not always the best option.

The biggest determining factor in this decision should be the current state of your roof. If it’s in bad shape, then a new installation may be the only real long-term solution. However, if your roof is still in good condition, but you’re just looking to update it, a repair might be the better choice.

Commercial Roofing Service Warranties

One crucial factor to remember when you’re hiring an expert to work on your commercial roof is whether or not they offer warranties. While most companies will come back months later if there’s some unforeseen problem (which shouldn’t be the case if you hired a professional), there are some that don’t offer warranties at all.

A good warranty should extend past the completion of your project and cover things like water leaks and shoddy installation (if installed improperly).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

If you’re in the watch of a new roof or just some repairs, it’s important to know what kind of services are available to you. Here are some frequently asked questions about commercial roofing services:

A few different types of roofs are commonly used in commercial buildings. These include asphalt shingles, metal roofs, and tile roofs. At Irvine Roofing, we provide you with the best options according to your needs.

It is often best to replace your roof in the spring or summer when the weather is warmer. This will allow for proper installation and drying time. However, if you need to replace your roof urgently, you can do so in the winter, but be sure to take precautions against extreme cold temperatures.

It’s recommended that you have your roof inspected at least once per year, especially if it’s made from asphalt shingles. This will help identify any potential problems early on so they can be repaired before they cause more damage. Our expert team at Irvine Roofing can have your roof inspected for free.

Certified Roofers Vs. Specialty Contractors

When you’re looking for a professional to work on your roof, there are two main types of certification to look for: certified roofers and specialty contractors.

Certified roofers have been specifically trained to work on all kinds of roofs, while specialty contractors may only have experience with specific types (including metal roofs or slate roofs).

The advantage of working with a certified roofer is that they’re trained and experienced in dealing with any kind of roof. On the other hand, the specialized contractors can usually get away with charging more for their services because they know what they’re doing. At Irvine Roofing, our workers are both certified and specialized, plus they’re experienced.
