Commercial roof replacement is a big task and one has to make sure to do it at a perfect time. If you delay it for too long you may end up making several unnecessary and costly repairs. However, replacing a roof when it is still healthy is a foolish thing to do. So how do you know when is the right time for a roof replacement?
Getting a roof replacement shouldn’t interrupt your business operations, however, there may be times of the year when it is easier.
Pick the perfect time
Regular roof maintenance and periodic roof replacement are essential to maintain the structural integrity of the roof. However, there is always a question of repairs versus replacement. It all depends on the condition of the roof and the weather.
Still summer
Summer is the best time for commercial roof replacement since chemicals, solvents, and adhesives can easily dry during this season. You need to make sure that you schedule an appointment with professional roofing contractors as early as possible to get the best prices for the materials and the services.
Spring replacement
Typically, your roof has two ages; chronological age-is the age from the date of installation to present and wear age- it is the additional toll your roof shows from accidents or poor repairs, storms, or even neglect.
In case the wear age of your roof outstrips the chronological age of your roof than you may consider spring replacement in late spring or even at the beginning of autumn.
Winter installation
Metal roofs are best replaced during the winter season. TPO or PVC roofs can also be installed during cold weather. But for other roofing materials such as asphalt shingles or roofs with EPDM rubber membranes; replacement can be done only in summers.
However, a condition such as water infiltration that threatens your inventory, equipment, and employee health may prompt you to arrange a roof replacement irrespective of the season.
Don’t put off the replacement
With major business expenditures, getting a roof replacement done may put a strain on your budget. However, the roof is an important aspect of your commercial property so its maintenance is of paramount importance for your business operations to run smoothly. Don’t wait until it becomes an emergency to get the roof replaced.
Always consult a qualified roofing contractor. They are well equipped and trained to inspect the roof and advise you accordingly. A professional roofing company can also provide you with free estimates and favorable financing is also available.
You must analyze what you have been spending on roof repairs. The annual cost of roof repairs may turn out to be more than the cost of roof replacement. Moreover, with a new roof you won’t have to worry for many years.
The bottom line
Plan ahead to get the roof replacement done at a good time before it gets too busy, too cold, or too hot. Don’t hesitate to contact a trustworthy roofing company that can help you to make the decision easier.
