Commercial Roofing

A building is only as good as the roof that protects it. Your building’s roof is under constant stress from things like the weather, structural settling, and much more. A quality roof can hold up for years under all that wear and tear, but over time problems will start to develop. No matter what type of roof your building has, it needs regular maintenance and repair to maintain proper integrity.

Commercial Roof Inspection

One of the best ways to properly maintain a commercial roof is to have a roof inspection done each year. It’s not a good idea to wait until water is leaking into your building or damaging walls and foundations. Instead, an inspection is the best way to locate and repair any issues that may be developing - before disaster strikes!
1
Consultation & Initial Assessment

During a typical roof inspection, your Storm Guard roofing service provider will coordinate with the building owner or other point of contact. We will ask about water stains, active leaks, or other signs that a roof repair is needed. We will check the roof structure from inside, looking for obvious signs that the roof isn’t water-tight.

2
Roof Inspection

Our next step will be to go out on the roof itself and search for open seams, holes, or signs of other problems. We will thoroughly check to see if areas of the roof or your insulation are damp, a clear indication that water isn’t draining properly.

3
Documentation & Proposal

We will take photos and document everything we find, which will allow you to see exactly what we have found. Based on our inspection, we will provide you with a written proposal detailing the repairs needed to get your roof back to optimal condition.

Commercial Roof Repairs

Over time, even a strong commercial roof will need repairs. One of the best ways to extend the life of your commercial roof is to complete small repairs as soon as possible. By doing so, you can avoid more expensive repairs and replacement later on.

Metal Roofing

Metal roofing for commercial buildings is one of the most popular and oldest roofing systems available. Most commercial metal roofs are made of corrugated galvanized steel, although other materials can be used. A metal roof has many benefits, including lasting up to 40 years, durable even in severe weather, fire resistant, and being lightweight enough to install over an existing roof. A metal roof can also be coated to enhance waterproofing, UV protection, and rust protection. For an average commercial roof, the average cost of installation is between $5.00 and $10.00 per square foot. This price may vary depending on the type and style of the metal roof you choose.
