Every municipality will have a process to get a permit for commercial roofing. In general, you can expect it to take between 6 and 8 weeks for permit approval.
The length of time to put on a new roof will depend on the size of the roof being put on. Generally, we need a week at the start and the end to set up and tear down equipment and other items. Along with this, we typically let building owners know that it will take about 1 day for every 1,500 square feet of roof space for the building. For a 20,000-square-foot roof, this equates to a total of about 3.5 weeks from start to finish.
Yes, we do roof condition reports all of the time. Our report will include all of the important information, along with pictures to document various issues. All of this can be provided to your insurance company.
While the roof is the main thing being addressed, there may be other items that can contribute to some additional costs. Examples can include additional materials related to rooftop air conditioning systems, repairs from weather damage that tie into the roof structure, or additional drainage required by a building department.
