The signs are out there; all you need to do is look out for them. Certain signs such as dark stains or water streaks are indicators of underlying issues. However, if you notice shards and broken shingles, it can be a sign of impending damage. Sometimes, you can make a safe assumption based on the age of your property’s roof even if there are no evident signs of damage. Yet, It is inadvisable to physically inspect the roof without any safety equipment on. So, it is better to arrange for detailed interior and exterior roof checks by our authorized professional contractors for an expert opinion.

When it comes to roof repair costs, there are a lot of variables that can affect the total cost. The major factors that affect the overall cost of repairing your roof are:

1. The general condition of the roof
2. Pitch or incline of the roof
3. Shingles material type, i.e, wood, asphalt, tile, slate, etc.
4. Number of shingles layers 
5. Cost of labor 

While the material cost would be the same in all locations, the extent of damage and local labor charges make it important to get an estimate first. Schedule a roof inspection with us to receive a free estimate on your roof repairing costs.

A roof is much more than a layer of shingles and underlying flashings. The decision to either replace the shingles or the entire roofing system depends on two major factors:

1. Age of the roof
2. Extent of damage

Both shingles replacement and roof replacement have their individual benefits

Replacing only the shingles is a cost-effective way to extend the lifespan of your roof without breaking the bank. Some of the benefits of shingles replacement are:

• Keep the warranty in effect  Most roofing companies have a clause in their terms that holds the warranty void, if the property owner hasn’t periodically conducted roof maintenance.

• Plugs any issue at the base. When you replace the shingles as soon as you observe the first signs of leaks, you eliminate the issue before it’s worsened.

• Cost Effective. A few missing shingles can cause water to enter inside or cause the thermostat to work harder causing a spike in the utility bills. By replacing them in time allows you to save on unwanted expenses.

Replacing the entire system, on the other hand, is the best choice when you wish to enhance your roof’s performance:

Protect against Leaks. The new flashing and seals allow the new roof to block water to enter from any vulnerable areas on the roof.

New lifespan to your roof. Since you are completely replacing the roof, you extend the lifespan of it.

On an average, a commercial roof can last from 10-40 years. The longevity depends on multiple factors such as:

1. Weather conditions
2. Material Used
3. Roof Type
4. Insulation
5. Roof color
6. Maintenance frequency
7. Usage 

 The lifespan of different material roofs are:

• Spray Polyurethane Foam: 30 – 50 Years
• Single-Ply Membrane TPO: 15 – 20 Years
• Single-Ply Membrane EPDM: 20 – 25 Years
• Metal: 30 – 45 Years
• Built-Up: 10 – 15 Years

Yes. Green roofs or Energy Efficient Roofs are the latest trend in the roofing industry. By choosing energy-efficient roofing materials for your roof, you reduce the absorption of solar energy, thanks to the high degree of solar reflectance. Since most of the sun’s heat is reflected back, the energy efficient roofs can lower the surface temperature by as low as 50oF. This reduces the load on the air conditioning units and helps save upto 15%.
