Structure check

The first step in this process is to inspect the existing roofing system both inside and out. This is done to identify any structural damage that may have occurred due to roof damage. If the interior of the structure has been damaged, your roof may need more extensive repairs; a roof built on a shaky foundation will not hold up. Commercial roofing contractors will test the integrity of the membrane, waterproofing, and insulation of your existing roof, determining if they can be salvaged.

Contractors will also inspect your roof to identify areas that require special attention; when you call for a commercial roof replacement, you may very well find that you only need a small repair! Once your roof has been inspected, you will receive an estimate for installation and labor costs. This proposal usually also includes the estimated time frame for the project; this will vary depending on the amount of work required and the scale of the roofing project. Larger or badly damaged roofs will take longer. If you have any questions or concerns about the project, now is the time to ask your commercial roofer.

Deck inspection

The roof deck is then inspected for signs of water damage or rotting. If your roof is in good condition, construction can continue. However, if the deck is damaged, repairs will be required, which will increase the repair time. This can happen if your roof is leaking; if you notice that water is entering your business through the roof, it means that the deck has been compromised in some way. Many people don’t think about their roof until it starts to leak, so this may be more likely than you think. After repairing the roofing, a new layer of insulation is laid. Insulation helps keep a building cool in summer and warm in winter, reducing energy costs.

Cleaning an Existing Roof

The first step in building a commercial roof is to remove the old roofing material and any damaged insulation. Depending on the extent of damage to your existing roof, this could be a simple repair or a complete tear and replace. If you are replacing the entire roof, this process will naturally take longer than a partial replacement.

At this stage, roofers will need to reserve a place on the ground to store the torn off materials and prepare new ones. This may mean that your customers and employees have to park further away from your business than usual, so make sure everyone is aware of the impending construction site.
