The roof on your commercial property is what keeps the rest of the building, the occupants, and all the belongings safe. If you have already had to make several repairs over the years, you are better off getting a new roof. There is more to a new roof than just a covering. It is a chance to upgrade your building and save repair costs in the future for a long time to come. Whether you are looking to sell or upgrade, a new roof is a smart investment.
Benefits of a New Commercial Roof
While a new roofing system won’t be cheap, it is a smart investment. A good roof will last many years but after a while, they get damaged and worn out. There are several benefits to replacing your commercial roof.
Energy Efficiency
An enormous amount of your heating and cooling will escape out of your damaged roof. There may be holes, cracks, missing insulation, or simply too many patches.
Your new commercial roof will have components that your old roof does not. This means the entire building is more energy-efficient because the HVAC system doesn’t need to work so hard or as often.
Increased Safety
Your old and damaged roof is a risk. It can leak and even collapse without notice. When the technicians are up there to remove the old one, they will give the entire space an inspection.
This will let you know if there are any other problems that are potentially hazardous or damages that you were not aware of. Moisture can cause damage without showing signs for a long time.
There can be mold, damage from animals, and storm damage that can not be repaired. A new roof protects the entire contents and all the occupants of your building and eliminates the need for repairs for a long time.
Storm Resistance
Extreme temperatures, ice, snow, and heat, it all takes its toll on your commercial roof. Small damages can often go unnoticed. Moisture will get in and cause much more damage over time.
A new roof will prepare your building to withstand these severe temperatures and storms. Materials are chosen by your roofing professional to cope with the type of climate in your area.
Durability
Once your roof is replaced, you can stop worrying about it. A new roof should last for many years and with regular inspections and proper maintenance, you should be word-free for years to come.
Curb Appeal
The idea that your building has a new roof is appealing to not only potential buyers but tenants, as well. If someone is looking for an apartment or office space, they want to know the roof isn’t going to come down around them at any time.
Financial Breaks
While the upfront cost of your roof replacement is going to be steep, there are financial benefits. First, you can qualify for tax breaks or credits when you improve the safety and quality of your roof.
You also increase the value of your property if you are considering selling it in the future. You won’t need to worry about any future repairs for many years to come. Your building insurance policy may also go down with a new roofing system.
