How a Roof Replacement Protects Your Building
A strong roof ensures the safety of your building, but over time, wear and tear make a roof replacement unavoidable. If you spot the warning signs, you can prevent bigger problems down the line. Here’s what to look for.
The Lifespan of Your Roof: Is It Time to Replace?
The lifespan of most commercial roofs is about 20-30 years. If your roof is getting close to this age, it might be time to start considering replacement.
Multiple Roof Leaks Indicate Need for Replacement
Constant roof leaks, especially in different areas of the building, indicate a compromised roof. It’s often more cost-effective to replace the roof rather than keep repairing it.
3. Visible Wear and Tear
If your roof shows visible signs of damage like missing shingles or cracks in the membrane, it’s probably time to consider replacing it. Continued wear can lead to serious problems.
How to Tell If Your Roof Is Sagging
A sagging roof is an alarming sign of serious damage. It often indicates water damage or structural issues that require immediate attention and potentially a full replacement.
5. Energy Bills Are Increasing
A poorly insulated roof can cause an increase in heating and cooling costs. Replacing your roof may help resolve these energy issues.
6. Roof Materials Have Deteriorated
Different roof materials have different lifespans, but all roofs deteriorate over time. If you notice rust on a metal roof, excessive granule loss on shingles, or worn-out membranes on flat roofs, these are signs that the material is no longer performing optimally. Continued deterioration of roofing materials is a sign that replacement is necessary to protect the structure beneath it.
When Constant Roof Repairs Make No Sense
If your roof needs frequent repairs, it may indicate underlying issues that can’t be fixed with patches. A full replacement could be more cost-effective.
