(317) 864-6193You can replace a few shingles yourself if you’re handy with tools and don’t mind working at heights, or you can hire a regular handyman. However, the safer route is to hire a roofing professional.
If you’re fixing or replacing a commercial roofing system, never attempt to do it on your own or even with the help of an inexperienced handyman. This is a job for professional roofing contractors. There are several good reasons you should only trust a pro with your commercial roof. Here are some of them:
It’s Not a Regular House Roof
Commercial roofs are often very different from residential roofs. That’s why they have more complex demands and often cover a much bigger area. While most homes have pitched roofs, many commercial buildings have flat roofs that might require special drainage systems. The materials are very different, too. Your home might have asphalt shingles, but your commercial roof might be a membrane.
It Affects Your Business
If you botch a commercial roof repair or installation, the cost of correcting the mistake is often high. Plus, your business operations might be compromised, and your employees might be exposed to risks. In addition to delays in your business operations, you also have to worry about legal liability.
It Might Have Special Requirements
Your business will benefit from the installation of energy-efficient roofing materials. But that kind of roof might have special requirements and permits. Commercial roofs are often the places where outdoor HVAC units are installed. You might also consider a green roof, which requires a special waterproofing system installed on your flat roof.
You Need a Maintenance Program
Any roof can benefit from regular maintenance. Your commercial roof is not likely to last long without it. If you work with a professional contractor to install your commercial roof, you can talk to them about scheduling your property for regular preventive maintenance inspections and repairs. This will help you ensure the longevity of your roofing system, which will save you money over the long term.
