Most commercial roofing materials can last at least twenty years, but eventually, the time will come to replace or upgrade your existing system with a new roof. Whether you’re building from scratch or need a complete replacement for your current roof, Tevelde and Co. offers a wide variety of options, materials, and styles to choose from so we can build your new commercial roof to provide maximum benefit for your property!

Routine Maintenance for Flat Roofing Systems

Routine maintenance is one of the most effective ways of protecting the investment you’ve made in your existing roof. As a building owner, routine maintenance provides the peace of mind that comes with knowing your commercial property is in great shape and ready for the worst Mother Nature can throw at it. Routine maintenance also reduces the potential for costly surprises from wear and tear, storm damage, and other unpredictable causes.

Commercial Flat Roofs Require Experienced Contractors

Commercial roofing doesn’t have a lot in common with standard residential work, but they do share one fundamental idea: installing and maintaining a roof on your property, whether commercial or residential, is an investment in the long-term health and value of your building. If you’re going to make this kind of long-term investment, it’s critical to ensure that you work with roofing contractors that are trained, certified, and have experience working with commercial roofing. Quality work performed by a company with an undeniable reputation will help you get the most value for your investment, both right away and far into the future.

How Much Does It Cost to Install or Replace a Flat Roof?

Ultimately, there are so many factors that go into determining the cost of installing, replacing, and maintaining commercial roofs that it’s best to contact a roofing professional for an estimate, along with suggested roofing solutions for your property. There are a few key elements that will have an impact on the total cost:

• Roofing material
• Construction style
• Square footage
• Accessory features like new or existing skylights, vents, pipes, HVAC equipment, etc.
• Local/City/County permits

While it’s difficult to give a general cost for commercial roofing without these details, it’s safe to say that hiring a proven and experienced contractor is the surest way to get the full value for the investment you’re making in your property.

What are Common Types of Commercial Roofing?

Just as residential homes have a few popular roofing options that make up most of the market, so do commercial roofing systems. There are dozens of different materials and styles in the commercial roofing industry, but most commercial properties throughout the U.S. have come to rely on a handful of common types that offer a proven mixture of durability, reliability, and affordability. Ultimately, selecting the best option for your particular building will come down to your unique business, property needs, and budget.

EPDM Membrane Roofing

EPDM Roofing is among the simplest, most adaptable, and longest-lasting types of commercial roofing, which is why it’s commonly found nationwide. EPDM is an acronym for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, which is a single-ply rubber material known for elasticity, toughness, and incredible resistance to damage from the ultraviolet light emitted from the sun. Sometimes referred to as a Thermoset roof, EPDM is relatively inexpensive due to its single-ply design, easy to install and maintain, and known to last up to 20 years with proper maintenance.

Built-Up Roofing (BUR)

Built-Up Roofing, or BUR for short, is one of the oldest commercial roofing materials around, and it’s still in use today for good reason. BUR roofing is typically constructed from 3-5 layers of bitumen (or asphalt), fabric, gravel, and, on occasion, aggregate stone to produce a roof that is tough, fire-resistant, and better able to deal with extreme swings in temperature, such as those found in states that have hot summers and freezing cold winters. Due to their multiple layers and specialized construction methods, these types of roofs typically have more tensile strength than other commercial styles, making them ideal for supporting roof-mounted equipment, personnel walkways, and other weight-intensive commercial needs.

PVC and TPO Roofing

PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride) and TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) roof membranes both belong to a similar grouping of single-ply thermoplastic roofing materials, but they each have their own distinct advantages and disadvantages. In general, TPO roofing is more reflective than PVC, meaning it is more energy efficient and more resistant to puncture damage. On the other hand, PVC roofing is more flexible, resistant to damage from chemicals, and, because it’s applied as one continuous piece, less likely to leak. On average, both roofing styles can be expected to last around 20 years with proper maintenance.

Metal Roofing

Metal roofing is a tried-and-true commercial roofing material that is well known for its long lifespan, incredible toughness, and unique aesthetics. In fact, metal roofs have been around for hundreds of years, and the fact that they’re still in use today is a testament to their reliability as a roofing system. While they’re available in a wide variety of sub-materials like galvanized steel, copper, zinc, tin, and others, they all share an incredible fire resistance, durability, and extended life – some metal roofs have been known to last upwards of 70 years! Metal roofs offer one more surprising advantage; they’re more reflective than one might believe at first glance, so they can have a helpful and lasting impact on environmental costs.

Modified Bitumen Roof Systems

Like BUR roofs, Modified Bitumen roofs are constructed in layers to help reinforce the roof as a whole and provide additional stability and protection. Modified bitumen is also known as APP (Atactic Polypropylene) and combines asphalt, polymers, and fillers to produce a single-ply material known for a long lifespan, simple installation, and adaptability – it can be installed in both hot or cold weather, meaning your building can get the protection it needs no matter the season. Modified bitumen roofs also offer excellent ratings against fire, wind, and hail damage, making them a wise choice in a climate that frequently experiences severe weather.

Less Common Commercial Roofing Systems

The commercial roofing systems we just covered make up the vast majority of materials and styles used throughout North America, but depending on your business needs, you may need something more specialized. The following roofing systems are purpose-built and targeted to commercial properties with specific goals in mind regarding their roofing.

Commercial Roof Coatings

As the name implies, commercial roof coating systems adhere to an existing roof structure to provide a wide range of benefits, depending on the type. While roof coatings are ideal for use on metal roofs, they can be adapted to fit other common styles. They act as a first line of defense against the sun’s UV rays, extending the roof’s lifespan and keeping buildings cool to reduce overall energy consumption. Roof coatings can also defend against leaks and protect the aesthetics of your commercial roof from wearing down as quickly.

Green Roofing

Green roofs might not be the best fit for every business, but they can provide an excellent alternative to typical commercial roofing. Green roofing offers a sustainable and natural solution with several practical benefits, including natural insulation and effective storm drainage. They can also double as an enjoyable break area for employees or visitors. Additionally, green roofing helps improve local air quality and keeps the surrounding areas cooler. Cities like Portland, Oregon, have implemented incentive programs to promote more green roof installation, and they are becoming more and more common in New York City, Chicago, and other major cities in the United States.

Solar Panel Roofing Systems

The next eco-step up from green roofs, solar panel roofing systems use photovoltaic (PV) panels to absorb incoming sunlight and convert it into electricity for immediate use or resale. If your commercial property is in an area that gets a lot of sunlight throughout the year, solar panels have serious potential to create long-term savings and significantly offset both your building’s energy costs and environmental footprint. On average, most solar panel systems pay for themselves between five and fifteen years after they’re installed due to the energy costs they save. Solar panels require specialized expertise to install and maintain, so make sure you work with a qualified commercial roofer if you’re interested in the benefits they could offer your business.
