Commercial roofs have different lifespans that range from 15 to over 40 years. Depending on the roof you install on your commercial property, you should have an idea of how long your roof is supposed to function before needing replacement. In addition to aging, other factors can affect your roof’s condition and make roof replacement a necessary option:

Common roof issues: When common problems such as leaks, holes and cracks cover a significant area on your roof, a replacement might be the best solution. Roof repair can often fix these issues, but if you’ve left them unaddressed for an extended period, the damage they cause to your system may be too extensive for repairs.
Buying or selling a building: One of a property’s major selling points is the roof’s condition. A roof replacement can increase your building’s overall value and attract potential buyers with ease. If you buy a building with a roof that is nearing the end of its life span or has other significant issues, it’s best to get a commercial roofing installation before you start working.
Extensive roof damage: Roofs can experience extensive damage from extreme weather events, fallen trees or excessive moisture. The damage often leaves your building’s interior vulnerable to the elements, making it challenging or impossible to operate. A commercial or industrial roof replacement is an excellent way to address this problem.
