7 Things to Avoid While Installing a Commercial Flat-Roof
Hiring an inexperienced roofer
- Many contractors will claim they are able to help your company. It is not common for contractors to be honest about their knowledge or skills. This can cause issues later and more expensive repairs to a problem that was once solved. Building owners are at risk of being dissatisfied with the manufacturer’s installation instructions, or doing poor work. A dishonest contractor will not speak to you about roofing problems.
Put off Roof Repair
- Most roof repairs are met with a shrug. When you don’t act quickly, the shrug is the first step for a serious repair. If allowed to fester, any commercial roofing membrane with a slight crease will allow water into the roof. The small repair job you do is costly and should not be ignored. The quality of your roofing system will ensure that your building is protected for 50 years. However seasonal weather changes can also have an impact on the roofing system. Damage will happen, and the building owner is responsible for keeping the roof in great condition. Regular inspections, at minimum bi-annually, by a qualified roofer, will prevent any small problems from becoming serious headaches.
Overestimating the Costs of Roof Removal
- Roof estimates are often incomplete. The cost of roofing repairs that go unnoticed can lead to higher costs. Attention to the estimate provided by a contractor. There is an increase in the cost of removing the old roof before installing the new one. Labor costs to replace an older roof are the biggest factor driving up prices. A larger roof means higher labor charges.
Renovating old tiles
- Your roofing contractor should never add shingles on top of an already damaged layer. Previously damaged shingles do not offer protection for the roofing system. Roofing inspections won't provide all the information needed when there are two layers. Additional weight on your roof's rafters and beams can cause another problem. A roof's structural integrity and ability to hold the weight of the second layer of shingles are critical.
Inefficient Roofing Inspection
- A roofing system is a complex interconnected system. Each component of the system must work in harmony to make it effective. Water is the greatest threat to any roofing system. A professional contractor will need to assess the roof and look beyond its cover. It is essential to inspect the decking as well trusses and roofers before any roofing work can be done. If the decking appears to be rotten, you should not put a new roof cap. If the contractor is reliable, they will provide detailed reports on the damage that was done and how to repair it.
Unlicensed Roofing Contractor
- It is tempting for contractors to be uncertified. Never let financial savings be your primary concern. It isn't about the cost of roofing repairs or replacements; it is all about the problem and how the work will solve it. The costs of unlicensed contractors, as well as insurance, are not covered by municipal licensing fees.
Selecting the Wrong Materials
- A roof needs to be covered with quality materials that provide long-lasting and reliable service. It is possible to live on cheaper materials but do you really want to? It is best to choose a contractor that offers quality-roofing products. It will guarantee that your roof is durable and long-lasting. Regular maintenance and upkeep go hand-in-hand with high-quality materials. If you are willing to spend a little more, it is worth it. Every building owner will reap the benefits of a small investment, which can reduce high-cost repairs later on.
