BELDON® Roofing Company can help clarify your decision-making when it comes to deciding between a commercial roof repair or replacement.

4 Viable Options

A damaged industrial or business roof in need of our commercial roofing services leaves you with four choices:

  1. Apply a coating
  2. Re-cover
  3. Repair
  4. Replace

For each of these four choices, you have to consider six factors:

  1. Overall condition of the entire roof
  2. Expected lifespan for the treatment
  3. Your available budget
  4. Anticipated maintenance costs for the treatment
  5. Extent of existing damage
  6. How many years do you plan to remain in the building?

Apply a Protective Coating

One of the two fastest and—generally—least expensive commercial roof services is a fresh coating to increase water resistance and extend roof life. Commercial roof coatings:

  • Provide additional protection against leaks
  • Reflect the hot Texas sun, lowering cooling costs
  • Are less disruptive to your business than a complete tear-off and replacement
  • Can be cost-effective, depending on the roof’s age and general condition

Re-cover Your Roof

Perhaps your business’s roof only needs re-covering. Good insulation and generally sound decking means a new single-ply membrane could go over the existing one. Under the right conditions, this is a very inexpensive option:

  • The existing roof has never been re-covered
  • Existing insulation is adequate and dry
  • The current membrane has aged out

Re-covering takes far less time than a full tear-off and replacement, and avoids exposing your roof to the unpredictable Texas rains.

Repair Options

BELDON® Roofing Company can diagnose damage, contain it, and perform inexpensive repair work to match the roof material. This very budget-friendly option works best if:

  • The roof is adequately insulated and sloped
  • The membrane has not reached the end of its useful life
  • The deck is in sound condition, structurally

Full Flat Roof Replacement

While usually more expensive than any other option, full replacement could be cost-effective for your Texas business if:

  • More than a quarter of your roof is compromised
  • The insulation is substandard, degraded, or wet
  • You plan to remain in the building a decade or longer
  • You want to hold annual maintenance costs down
  • The current roof is well past its expected lifespan
