Flat roofs are a common choice for commercial buildings, providing various benefits such as lower installation costs compared with many types of roofs, an extra floor of usable space, easy accessibility for maintenance services and more.
Flat roofs also have their common set of problems, and like any type of roof, a flat roof will eventually need replacement even if it has been well-maintained. If you are need of flat roof replacement and your commercial or industrial building is located in the Mansfield, OH, area, give Five Star Commercial Roofing a call at (888) 740-2070.
Common Problems
The passage of time and the influence of the elements will affect any roof, and a flat roof is no exception. Some common causes behind flat roof problems include:
- Ponding water, which can lead to leaks
- Improper installation or previous repairs that were not performed to code
- Thermal shock, which can lead to cracking and make a roof vulnerable to water seepage
- Weathering and aging
If your flat roof has developed problems, you can count on the crew at Five Star Commercial to take care of them and do it right! We offer the quality tools, products and expertise to address any roofing need.
How Do You Know?
Unfortunately, many so-called professionals within the roofing industry put profit above customer service, and an alarming industry statistic attests to this. Did you know that roofs are replaced prematurely as much as 70-80 percent of the time? This means roof replacement was only necessary in 20 percent of cases—the rest of the time, either another option would have addressed a roof’s problems or proper maintenance could have prevented the need for replacement. Either way, a true roofing professional could have helped the building owner avoid costly and disruptive roof replacement.
At Five Star Commercial Roofing, we put our customers’ best interests ahead of profit. For this reason, we only advocate roof replacement if there truly is no other viable option. If, however, a less expensive solution would fix a roof’s problems, that is the option we will recommend to our client.
For example, in many cases a roof coating system can address all of a roof’s problems and add years to a roof’s life without the labor and costs associated with a roof tear-off and replacement. If your roof is a good candidate for a life-extending coating system, that is the course of action we will recommend to you. We will only advise you to replace your roof if that is truly the only viable option.
