Time is of the essence whenever a hurricane rips through blank. Hurricane roof repair in particular is hugely important, and our team at Commercial Roofing Industries is here to help you understand when your roof can be repaired and when it must be replaced. What might look fine on the surface could have major structural issues, so it is important to not only protect your building with emergency coverings, but to also get an inspection done to get an understanding of the extent of the repairs needed and whether it would be better to simply replace the damaged roof. Contact us today to learn more and have our experienced team perform a post-hurricane inspection of your commercial roof.
Post-Storm Decision Guide
Knowing what to do first followed by the next steps is important. This will ensure that you minimize the damage that might happen after the storm is over, plus it can help to accelerate how quickly things are returned to normal for your building. The first step is to cover any holes in your roof with temporary shelter, and our team is on call to help with this. You can also be looking for other damage to your roof.
Get our team out to inspect your property as quickly as possible. You can certainly document various damage to your roof to help with the inspection. And once we have done our evaluation, we can provide you with the right documents that explain the damage and and overall estimate for what the repairs will cost.
Repair vs. Replace
This is the heart of the matter, as you want to have a general guide to your decision making. If the repairs only affect about 25% of the roof, if the insulation underneath is dry, and the membrane is relatively new. When the structural decking is compromised, there is widespread uplifting of the roofing materials, or when the roof is beyond 75% of it’s lifespan, then you should look at a roof replacement over repairs.
Generally speaking, repairs to your commercial roof in blank are the way to go as they will be less expensive than a replacement and will take less time to complete. However, once our team at Commercial Roofing Industries has completed our inspection, we can provide a recommendation for repair or replacement based on the extent of the damage, age of the roof itself, and the costs involved.
