ROOF SYSTEM: WHICH FEATURES ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU?

HOW TO CHOOSE A COMMERCIAL ROOFING SYSTEM

Reroofing products have evolved over recent years. If the roof type you have now is outdated, a dedicated Estimator will help you choose a new commercial roofing system. Your dedicated Estimator will start with identifying your interests, considering potential tenants, location, and budget constraints. They will explain the differences between the roof membranes available and help you factor maintenance costs into your decision-making process. Contact us today and get your questions answered! 

CHOOSE THE BEST ROOF FOR YOUR BUILDING TYPE

The type of tenant you intend to occupy your property plays a critical role in our recommendation. For example, we might recommend a PVC roof for an airport due to its ease of repair and an EPDM roof for an office to help reduce cooling costs. 


The most popular roof membranes for commercial membranes are TPO, EPDM, and PVC. These products are durable and designed to withstand the occasional hailstorm in Virginia. Roofing experts agree that these three are your best options for a commercial roof that is worth the investment. Contact us today and your dedicated Estimator will recommend the roofing system that will last you a long time.

PLANNING FOR ROOF MAINTENANCE

After every commercial roof installation, we advise our property manager clients to plan for roof maintenance. Low-slope roofing systems tend to get dirty and require upkeep. Having a preventative maintenance plan in place takes the pressure off you and your team. 


In 2009, Virginia Roofing Corporation started offering preventative maintenance services like debris removal, roof inspections, and roof repairs. Over the years our maintenance services grew in popularity reaching property managers throughout the DC metropolitan area.

THE BEST ROOFING SYSTEM FOR RESTAURANTS

Only on restaurant rooftops will you find grease containment systems that require maintenance to keep oil from ruining your roof. Grease overflows cause premature deterioration and blisters on the roof membrane. Your best choice is a roof membrane specifically manufactured to withstand oil and grease. Our dedicated Estimators often recommend a PVC roof membrane for restaurant rooftops.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE FOR RESTAURANT ROOFTOPS

Over 80% of restaurants in the food preparation industry have roof damage due to grease.


Restaurant rooftops are high maintenance. Some might say you have your work cut out for you. Service your grease containment systems regularly to avoid an overflow of grease. Also, budget for annual preventative maintenance services like debris removal, minor repairs, and major repairs that prolong the life of your roof. 


Virginia Roofing Corporation performs preventative maintenance services for restaurants, cafés, and food preparation facilities in and around the Washington DC area. Protect your investment and contact us today!

FAQS COMMERCIAL INSTALLATION

  • When should a commercial roof be replaced?

    You should consider roof replacement when a professional contractor has completed a roof assessment and determined that the roof has deteriorated beyond repair.

  • How much does it cost to reroof a commercial building?

    It depends. The cost for a commercial reroof changes based on these factors: building size, location, labor, materials, and budget constraints. The cost weighs heavily on the type of roofing membrane you choose for your building.


  • How long do commercial roofs last?

    It is difficult to predict how long your commercial roof will last because buildings experience aging factors differently. However, proactively maintained roofs last an average of 8 years longer than reactively maintained roofs.


  • How long does it take to replace a commercial roof?

    As you might expect, the answer is it depends. The time it takes to complete your roof replacement will change based on these factors: demo, insulation layers, waterproofing, and the amount of rooftop equipment.


  • What is the best replacement roof?

    The best roof type for your replacement depends on the building's intended use and any cost considerations. A dedicated Estimator will examine your existing roof system and make a recommendation.


  • What is the longest-lasting roofing material?

    The longest-lasting commercial roofing material is EPDM. All roof membranes can last beyond their intended life if you perform regular roof maintenance. 


  • What are the best roofing shingles?

    The best architectural shingles are CertainTeed's Landmark® shingles. They are durable and available in numerous colors and color blends.


  • What is the most energy-efficient roof type?

    You can keep your heating and cooling system at its peak with an energy-efficient roof membrane. A white EPDM roof reduces cooling costs in the Summer. A black EPDM roof lowers heating costs in the Winter.


  • Does a new roof add value?

    Yes. Ridding your roof of an old, deteriorating roof increases value substantially. Your dedicated Estimator will recommend a roofing membrane that will add the most value to your property.


  • Is TPO better than EPDM?

    Both TPO and EPDM are high-performing roofing membranes, however, EPDM is typically the better choice for commercial buildings. An EPDM roofing membrane is durable and the best choice for these building types: retail, warehouse, office, and hospital.


  • Who makes the best TPO roofing?

    Carlisle SynTec is a global leading commercial roofing manufacturer known for long-term performance TPO roofing membrane, components, flashing, and accessories.


  • How do I protect my new TPO roofing system?

    Protect your roof by performing roof maintenance. Walk your roof regularly, checking gutters and drains for debris. Annual roof inspections are highly encouraged for commercial buildings.


  • What is the best roofing material for a low-pitch roof?

    Rubber roof membranes are the most popular choice for low-pitched roofing systems. A roofing Estimator will help you choose between an EPDM, PVC, and TPO roof membrane.


  • Why is my commercial roof leaking?

    It depends. A roof inspection reveals leak-causing damage such as loose membrane, open flashing, and clogged roof drains.


  • What is the most common cause of roof leaks?

    Leaks are caused by roof damage that happens when the roof is walked on, punctured, or neglected. You might be surprised at how much dirt and leaves accumulate on your roof's surface. Maintaining your roof will significantly reduce roof leaks.


  • How do I find a leak in a commercial roof?

    There are a couple of ways to find a roof leak in a commercial roof. Ultimately the method used depends on your roof type and the suspected damage. The roofers might perform a water test to locate the source of a roof leak.


  • Do flat roofs leak more?

    Yes, flat roofs experience more leaks than shingle roofs. Flat roofs are easily walkable and susceptible to damage from foot traffic. Protect your rooftop with roof walkway pads around high-traffic areas like HVAC units.
