Commercial Re-Roofing
Commercial Re-Roofing in Santa Cruz & Monterey Counties
Commercial roofing projects can be significant investments, and they can be disruptive to your daily business activities if you need a full roof replacement or significant repairs. Commercial re-roofing can improve the integrity and durability of your commercial roof, allowing you to delay the need for roof replacement and avoid unexpected issues like leaks and other forms of damage. With Knox Roofing, you can explore commercial re-roofing solutions with our team of licensed, experienced roofing contractors in Santa Cruz & Monterey Counties.
Why Choose Re-Roofing Over Replacement?
Commercial roof replacement and re-roofing are not the same service. Roof replacement includes a complete tear-off of the existing roof before the installation of an entirely new roofing system. Alternatively, commercial re-roofing is the process of installing a new layer of roofing material, such as TPO, over the existing roof. It is faster, more affordable, and less disruptive than roof replacement, but it is only a viable option if the underlying structure is in good condition and meets local, state, and federal building codes. Only a professional roofing contractor can tell you if re-roofing is appropriate for your commercial building, but it is often a favorable alternative to roof replacement if it is recommended due to the shorter timeline for project completion.
Signs Your Commercial Roof Needs Re-Roofing
You may contact a roofer for a roof inspection and a discussion about commercial re-roofing solutions if your roof is nearing the end of its typical lifespan, after a major weather event that may have caused damage to the surface of the roof, or if you notice signs of damage like areas of discoloration or ponding water. Ideally, you should schedule an annual roof inspection even if you don’t notice immediate signs of damage. This inspection will give you a full report detailing the condition of your roof, along with recommendations for repairs, replacement, or re-roofing services.
Our Re-Roofing Process
Our re-roofing process ensures that your roof is in good condition and that it is designed to stand up to many more years of exposure to the elements. Here’s a closer look at what you can expect.
- Full Inspection of the Existing Roof – Commercial re-roofing is not a good fit if your roof has damage to multiple layers of material or underlying structural damage. Therefore, your project will begin with a full roof inspection to ensure that re-roofing is a safe, sustainable solution for your building.
- Application of New Roofing Materials – We will apply a new roofing surface on top of the existing roof. Because re-roofing is more efficient and less invasive than full roof replacement, you will not have to interrupt daily operations to get the job done.
- Final Walkthrough – After the new roof surface is installed, we will perform a final walkthrough to ensure that all safety standards are met and that the roof has been installed correctly.
- Routine Maintenance and Repairs – After commercial re-roofing services, we’ll be here for you with routine maintenance and repairs to take care of any minor damage before it causes bigger problems.
