General

Most building owners regard their contracted commercial roofing services as maintenance costs and not adding to the bottom line. Yet when you work with a qualified commercial roofer, your roof is one of several ways to add value to your commercial property.

#1: Upgrade

Modernizing your building increases its appeal and value. An easy first step: replace incandescent lighting with energy-efficient, more visually appealing LED bulbs. Many power utilities subsidize bulbs so the minor investment in new lighting will be recovered quickly through lower utility bills.

If the roof of your building is prominent, BELDON Roofing Company can help modernize the roof of your building with commercial roofing services that bring a fresh new look. Single ply membrane can unify a roof’s appearance and decrease cooling costs. A new roof also reduces the risk of water infiltration and upset tenants.

#2: Rename

Name your building. Display this name, and update signs throughout the property, for a sleek, modern appearance that ties the grounds together. Many older buildings have signs that are too small for today’s market. Consider your building’s location, local relevant history, or primary purpose when selecting a distinctive moniker, or turn to an online crowdsource naming site, Wordlab, for inspiration.

#3 Decrease Costs

Decrease total building operating costs and increase tenant appeal by looking at the current space in new ways. Your roof, for example, could be fitted with solar panels that shrink the building’s electrical consumption. Be sure to contract with for commercial roofing services before and after solar panel installation, to ensure there is no damage to the roof. Make sure the environmentally friendly solar panels are featured in local media.

#4 Improve Parking

Look at the parking you provide. If you have nowhere to add parking, consider leasing daytime parking space from nearby nightclubs or churches. Consider building a parking garage with extra, income-generating capacity as a larger, long-term solution.

#5 Seize Opportunities

When tenants depart, examine the empty space and consider how you could improve it, modernize it, or reapportion it to gain income. Perhaps a smaller suite on a less desirable floor could be broken up into a storage area to rent to tenants. Or, by contracting for commercial roofing services, you could add skylights to a top floor suite to bring in much-needed light for a new tenant.
