7 Questions To Determine If Roof Restoration Is Possible For Your Property
Replacing the entire roof on a commercial building can be costly. It may be that your roof can be restored rather than replaced. A restored roof will be watertight and under warranty for less than a complete replacement but is not always the perfect solution for every property. There are factors to look for when considering the condition of your roof.
Determining the Viability of a Roof Restoration
Before you sign up for a roof restoration project, you need to examine your roof and answer the following seven questions:
How many existing roof systems are in place?
What is the percentage of backing-out fasteners?
Is any of the insulation wet? If so, what is the percentage?
How much of the scrim is exposed?
If it's a metal roof, is there aluminized coating?
Is there ponding water? If so, how much of the roof is covered? Are there slope issues?
Is the roof unsafe to walk on due to severely rusted metal panels?
Depending upon your answers, the professionals at Resilient Roofing may recommend a roof restoration or a roof replacement.
