When Does Your Commercial Roof Need Replacement?
Recognizing the warning signs early can prevent costly damage to your building and business operations.
Age of Roof
Most commercial roofs last 20-30 years depending on material. If your roof is approaching or exceeding this age, replacement should be considered.
Recurring Leaks
Multiple leak repairs in the same areas indicate systemic failure. When repair costs approach 30% of replacement cost, it's time to replace.
Energy Costs Rising
Significant increases in heating/cooling costs often indicate roof insulation failure or membrane degradation affecting energy efficiency.
Storm Damage
Hurricane or severe storm damage affecting more than 25% of your roof area typically warrants full replacement rather than partial repairs.
Failed Inspections
Professional inspections revealing widespread membrane deterioration, deck damage, or code violations indicate replacement necessity.
Visible Deterioration
Blistering, cracking, ponding water, exposed substrate, or separated seams across the roof surface signal end-of-life conditions.
