Common signs that indicate you may need a roof replacement include:
Hail damage can be tricky to identify, as it varies in severity based on the size of the hail and the type of roofing material. Common signs include dents or cracks on shingles, which can compromise their protective capabilities. You might also notice granule loss, where the hail impact dislodges the tiny protective granules on the shingles, exposing the underlying asphalt and accelerating roof wear. Additionally, check for damage to other roof elements, such as metal flashing or gutters, which may be bent or cracked. Inside your home, look for water stains or signs of leakage that could indicate compromised areas. Since some damage is less visible from the ground, scheduling a professional inspection is highly recommended to catch hidden issues before they worsen.
The most common type of commercial roofing is EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer). Known for its durability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of installation, EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane that performs well in various climates and can last 20-30 years with proper maintenance. Other popular options include TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin) and metal roofing, which are also favored for their energy efficiency and resilience.
Commercial roofs are often flat to maximize usable space. This design allows for the placement of HVAC units, solar panels, and other equipment without impacting interior space. Flat roofs are also more cost-effective to install and maintain, making them an attractive option for larger commercial buildings. Although flat, they are constructed with a slight slope to ensure proper drainage and prevent water pooling.
It’s recommended to have a commercial roof inspected at least twice a year, ideally in the spring and fall. Additional inspections should be performed after severe weather events to check for potential damage. Regular inspections help catch minor issues before they become significant problems and extend the roof’s lifespan.
