Roofing Contractor Services

Commercial roofing and residential roofing are far apart in terms of differences from each other. Whereas your house may run with standard asphalt shingles or clay tiles, commercial buildings are very different in size, construction methodology, and materials used.

Metal Roofing

Metal roofing is the first and one of the more common choices in commercial roof construction. There are many reasons for that, as a metal roof has far more positives than negatives associated with it.

  • Longevity and Durability
  • Fire Resistant
  • Shrugs Off Heat, Improving Hvac Functionality
  • Sustainable
  • Coatings Reduce Fade and Rust

It’s not just metal roofing in terms of a single metal either, but several types of metal, each with its own advantages, such as metal tiling, galvanized steel, copper, stainless steel, aluminum, and more.

Metal roofs are also cheaper to produce and install and comes with a decent degree of cost-effectiveness. You might think that metal would get extremely hot in the sun, however, the coating systems used in metal roofing aid the metal’s ability to reflect the sunlight, improving the effectiveness of the HVAC system.

Metal roofing is a very long-term option as it’s extremely durable and resistant to environmental factors. Fire resistance is an obvious pro as well, even with layers of coating the fire-resistant capability of the metal doesn’t drop off.

With metals being recyclable, it’s a sustainable and renewable construction material that can last well beyond the lifetime of the building.

Green Roofs

Green roofs are a growing trend in sustainable and renewable construction materials and they offer a high degree of capability when it comes to conserving energy. With energy costs surging in the last decade, this is a very attractive quality. Pair this in with Solar panel installation and you can being a leader in environmental care.

Easy On The Eyes

Green roofs can look great, full of life and color to customers

Cost Friendly

Plants will help absorb UV rays keeping roof materials safe

Green roofs aren’t so much a material as they are a veritable garden of lush plant life that thrives on the sunlight and rainwater that are both in abundance due to height. They do require a little more maintenance and plant choices are specific because of constant exposure to the sun.

However, businesses that want a cost-efficient option may consider a green roof because the plant life on the roof will absorb much of the sunlight, which means that it is not penetrating the material and forcing the HVAC system to work harder.

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer)

Despite the fact that it’s a mouthful, necessitating an acronym, It’s basically a chain of complicated words that add up to the term, rubber. EPDM comes in black and white with the black variation being highly resistant to UV rays and the bright, white variation only increasing that resistance because it is a highly reflective variation.

  • Highly Reflective White Rubber
  • Frost Resistant
  • Superior Resistance to Uv Damage
  • Doesn’t Degrade Over Time
  • Resists Hail and Powerful Thunderstorm Damage

EPDM doesn’t degrade, so there is a good deal of longevity and durability with this material. It’s also frost, thermal, hail, and strong thunderstorm resistant. There’s very little that can affect this type of roofing, which makes it a highly popular offering.

Single Ply Membrane (TPO)

When it comes to flat roofs, this is the single most popular material on the list of commercial roof offerings. TPO stands for Thermoplastic Polyolefin, and it is an extremely cheap and durable material that easily installs over flexible membranes.

  • High Wind Resistance
  • Fire Retardant
  • Frost Resistance
  • Extreme Temperature Change Resistance
  • Cost-effective
  • Cheap Material and Installation

The kind of benefits that a commercial building gets from TPO at such a low cost makes it a highly sought-after construction material for commercial roofing contractors. It has solid insulation and resistance features so your HVAC system won’t have to struggle too much.

It’s also very resistant to temperature changes and extremes. High heat and frigid climates are really not an obstacle for TPO.

PVC

PVC is becoming a more popular option in commercial roofing circles as it offers a great degree of protection at a cost that isn’t crippling. It’s certainly not the cheapest option out there but considering what it has to offer, the benefits are worth the small upcharge.

  • Highly Durable
  • Longevity
  • Resistant to Fire, Wind, and Water
  • Resistant to Chemicals
  • Eco-friendly

PVC installation includes hot-air welded seams which makes the totality of the rooftop highly resistant to water and the leaks that come with it. PVC is already a highly durable material that is resistant to extreme temperatures, extreme temperature swings, and chemicals.

The two things that make PVC eco-friendly are the highly reflective nature of the material and the fact that it is recyclable. Many other roofing options create additional heat sinks, especially in the inner-city areas, and PVC resists that congruence of high-heat factors.

BUR

BUR stands for “built-up roofing” and is the most tried and true example of commercial roofing construction on this list.

  • Low-maintenance
  • Longevity
  • Easy Repairs
  • Multiple Layers of Protection
  • Fire Resistance

Built-up roofing is the standard archetype for roofing construction over the last 50 years. It’s a layering system that “builds up” the more materials you add to the equation. There is typically a tar layer that is spread across the roof that both insulates and resists heat.

There are multiple layers of protection simply because there are multiple layers, which can be a choice of a variety of materials, according to the needs of the buyer.
