Most Reliable Missouri Commercial Roofing Services

Your roof protects your commercial building or property from the elements. It keeps your inventory, your equipment, your tenants, and your staff safe inside and protected. Whether it’s 4am or 3PM, your roof is always on-call, weathering any storm that may come your way!

This type of prolonged exposure to Mother Nature can take its toll on your commercial building or flat roof. The more storms and weathering events it experiences, the more wear and tear it experiences which can begin to reduce your roof’s lifespan.

Your roofing system is complex. The larger your building, the more moving parts that you may have to ensure a cohesive commercial roofing system. A break or disruption in the system can impact your entire roof, which is why leaks may begin to appear over time on your flat roof. It is extremely important to maintain and care for your commercial flat roof to avoid costly long-term damage. It is advisable to have your commercial roof inspected at-least 2 times a year to check on its health!

Why Might You Need To Have Your Commercial Roof Restored or Replaced?

Just like people wear down with age, a commercial flat roof system is no different. However, sometimes other extenuating circumstances can cause your roof to break down quicker than it’s designed life-cycle. For instance, storms can cause excessive wear and violent impacts from hail or debris can penetrate your roof.

Commercial Flat Roof Storm Damage

Even the strongest of roofs can begin to break down after exposure to gusting 80 mph winds, or 2” hail. Large hail can penetrate through your roof decking, requiring a full commercial roof replacement. It is advisable to have your flat roof inspected twice a year, particularly after storms. What starts as a small leak can develop into much more costly repairs.

Some leaks can be fixed with a roof coating, however not all storm damaged roofs are candidates for roof restoration. A roof coating can potentially save you up to 50% compared to a full roof replacement.

Commercial Flat Roof Replacement From Old Age

Is your flat roof 10, 15 or 20 years old? The older your commercial flat roof system ages, the more likely it is that you will start to see leaks and other problems start to sprout. Depending on the age of your roof, it may be time for a full replacement. However, if your roof is still in good shape, it could be a candidate for a roof coating, which can extend the life of your flat roof by 15 or 20 years at half of the cost of a full replacement!

Improper Flat Roof Installation

Sometimes a commercial flat roof has to be replaced or reinstalled because the initial contractors did not install the flat roof to code or proper manufacture’s specification. Unfortunately, an improper roof installation can cause roof failure in a matter of only a few short years! A poorly installed roof may not be a candidate for a roof coating because it is not properly adhered due to faulty materials or craftsmanship.

Roof Restoration

Many of our clients, particularly property managers and facility managers with large buildings, ask us about roof restoration and roof coatings. Roof coatings are a very attractive option for many building owners because they can essentially help “pay” for themselves. A full roof replacement may result in your building, tenants or business to be disrupted during business hours because the old roof needs to be torn off. This requires more labor and materials than simply having your old roof restored with a coating. As such, a roof restoration with roof coatings can save you up to 50%!

Because we also don’t have to remove the previous layers of your roof, you also save on the labor costs since a roof coating can be simply sprayed and applied over top of your existing roof! And, in many cases, you may be eligible for a federal tax rebate or credit.

Another reason many building owners tend to turn to roof coatings is they can help save you money on your utility bill. Roof coatings are constructed with reflective properties. This reflective coating helps reflect heat away from your building, avoiding your A/C unit from having to work extra hard to cool down your building. The coatings help to prevent heat entering your building through the roof, and these savings can add up over the years! These coatings are also extremely durable, and made to hold up to both wind storms and hail storms, which equates to less leaks over the duration of your roof’s life.
