Is It Time for a Commercial Roof Replacement?
Nothing lasts forever; but it’s on us to be proactive. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to you when something runs out or wears out, whether it’s your phone battery or the roof of your business. The trick is to know the tipping point and how to act accordingly. As metal re-roofing experts in Melbourne, we can make sure you know how to spot that tipping point and make the right choices.
Why Does a Commercial Roof Wear Out?
Everything has a use-by date, including your commercial roof. But, just like leaving the milk out will see it go off more quickly, certain conditions or actions can mean you’ll need to call a roof replacement team sooner.
It Is Constantly Exposed to the Elements
For starters, the weather and the sun are the key elements your commercial roofing will need to stand up against. From scorching summers to drizzly winters, and everything in between, Melbourne throws a lot at roofing. Not to mention, when the winds kick up and leaves, branches and other debris are added to the mix. The best way to prepare your commercial roof to hold its own against the weather is to pick the right material in the first place — although it will still wear out, but at a slower rate.
It Gets Old
Along with the weather, time is the biggest factor for the demise of any roofing. However, the expected lifespan of a commercial roof does vary depending on the material. Some wear better than others, but it’s important to speak to an experienced roofing contractor to determine exactly which is best for your situation.
So How Do You Know If It Is Time for a Roof Replacement?
Depending on the conditions in your area and the material of your roof, you should generally be having your commercial roof inspected every 6–12 months. It’s these inspections that will tell you when the tipping point has been reached, ensuring you get the best value for money from your roof. They can also help get you out of the ‘out of sight, out of mind’ mentality that it can be easy to fall into when you aren’t regularly seeing the condition of your roof.
As part of these inspections, a professional roofer will check for telltale signs that your roof is wearing out or there are issues. This includes evidence of holes or leaks, like staining, and significant debris buildup. If these signs are ignored, there is the possibility of structural damage and problems to both the roof and building.
The Tipping Point
Your business, including its roof, is an investment. When the investment is no longer proving worthwhile, change needs to occur. It may be time to replace your roof.
The Cost Adds Up
Repairs might be an upfront cheaper solution, but they can also only be short term. For extensive roofing issues, you will get better value for money by opting for a full commercial roof replacement. This may be more money initially, but it will pay for itself in the long run. Plus, you won’t be regularly having to deal with roofing problems taking up your valuable time and impacting your business’ operations.
You Want to Upgrade Your Premises
The decision to replace your roof doesn’t just have to be a reaction to problems or issues. It can also be a strategic decision on your part to improve the look or functionality of your building. You may need to replace your roof to allow for easier access to new services, or you want to change the look of your premises to match an updated brand aesthetic.
