A restoration or re-roof alternative can be a reliable, cost-effective way to bring your roof to watertight standards and back under warranty without a costly, disruptive roof replacement.
There can be many benefits to a commercial roof restoration, including:
- Stops leaks and brings roof back to watertight condition
- Extends the life and warranty of a roof
- Provides cost savings up to 50% vs. a typical commercial roof replacement
- Seamless, fully adhered roof surface
- Liquid-applied and field-fabricated
- Offers reflective and customized color selections depending on the climate
- Sustainable with options to extend life past warranty
But how do you know if a restoration is a viable option? Answering these questions can help make that determination.
- What percentage of insulation is wet, if any?
- How many existing roof systems are present?
- What percentage of the scrim is exposed?
- What percentage of fasteners are backing out?
- Over what percentage of the roof is there ponding water? Is it a slope issue?
- Are there severely rusted metal panels that make the roof unsafe to walk on? (Metal roofs)
- Is there presence of aluminized coating? (Metal roofs)
Facility managers today are finding it not only makes financial sense to consider a commercial roof restoration as a re-roof alternative, but makes environmental sense, as well, because it eliminates a waste. And a considerable amount of it.
