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:
- Apply a coating
- Re-cover
- Repair
- Replace
For each of these four choices, you have to consider six factors:
- Overall condition of the entire roof
- Expected lifespan for the treatment
- Your available budget
- Anticipated maintenance costs for the treatment
- Extent of existing damage
- 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
