Commercial & Industrial Roofing Systems
Typically commercial or industrial building structures are low slope (less than 3 inches of slope per foot) roofing systems which must remain watertight under demanding conditions such as slow drainage and substantial ice & snow accumulations.
Common Specified Commercial Roof Systems
- EPDM (black & white in color)>
- TPO (color variety available)
- Built-Up Roofing Systems (hot asphalt)
- Standing Seam Metal Roof Systems (both architectural and structural)
- Composite Slate
- PVC
- Green Roofs (inverted roof systems)
Gates Roofing Company provides quotations and specifications which are first class applications and strictly adhere to the appropriate manufacturers installation details. We diligently make every effort to provide & suggest a roofing system which can be expected to deliver the best value for the longest duration possible.
Replacing a roof system is a rather expensive proposition; and can be daunting to budget and finance. Nothing could be more devastating than facing a premature roof system failure with no feasibility of prematurely re-financing another."
Key Considerations which should be evaluated prior to roof replacement:
- Attempt to achieve the greatest duration of protection which you can afford (10, 15, 20 years are common)
- Existing roof removal is almost always the best lasting option.
- Evaluate your current heating bills and try to establish if and how much money you can save with additional insulation. Often times energy saving rebates are offered thru government incentive programs or tax breaks. Additional insulation is one of the few building components which can return your investment over time.
- Roof system selection is critical; there is no one size fits all roof specification, all systems have their strengths and weaknesses.
- Roof area drainage evaluation is extremely important; the least amount of time your roof is saturated the longer it will last.
We all would like to “buy the best” but often times we are forced to buy a system we can afford. We can assist you with options and all the pertinent information to allow you to decide what “risk” you are willing to assume; when lesser costing specifications are employed there is an equal lesser performance which must be accepted and planned for.
Don’t allow yourself to be the sold on the misconception there is little tangible difference from one installer to another; our reputation in this community has been hard earned as a first class performer.
