A
commercial roof is one of a business’s most important investments. It
protects people, products, and infrastructure from the elements and is
pivotal in managing energy usage and costs. But like any other part of a
building, damage or normal wear to a roof will need to be addressed
eventually.
Whether to repair, restore, or replace a roof is an
important and nuanced decision. It can be a capital-intensive project,
and a building owner’s choices can determine if they extend the life of
their building for a few or many more years.There are numerous factors
to consider when deciding what to do about a roof, including the age of
the building and roof, the current and future purpose/use for the
building, whether to include additional insulation, the extent of damage
(if any), the type of roof, and the budget.
