Commercial Roofing Services

The roof that covers your business premises provides invaluable protection. Whether it covers costly heavy machinery and equipment or supplies and products, the roof safeguards your company property.

While it’s essential to invest in roofing maintenance to prevent unexpected damages from hindering business operations, it’s just as important to prioritize repair needs when they arise. Even minor roof damages can snowball into major repair needs if neglected for too long.

As a leading commercial roof company, Jottan Roofing provides essential commercial roofing services to ensure your business can prevent unplanned downtime due to roofing issues.

Commercial Roof Inspections

Various commercial roofing damages can go unnoticed for some time. Water can enter the building and seep into the insulation long before signs of water damage become visible. Small problems can gradually worsen, and flashing and loose shingles or tiles can be harder to spot than missing components.

A comprehensive commercial roof inspection can identify these minor issues before they escalate and cause costly damages. Our expert technicians perform detailed assessments of all roofing components to provide accurate insight into the roofing system’s overall condition. During the inspection, our experts compile a detailed report that includes photos. Then we recommend relevant repairs or replacements.

Thorough inspections can prolong the life span of your commercial roof. It’s best to schedule a roof inspection every six months, although annual inspections can keep your commercial roof in good condition.

Preventive Commercial Roof Maintenance

Most quality commercial roof systems can last 20 to 30 years, depending on the type of construction and the roofing materials used. However, ongoing preventive maintenance is crucial for a roof to last decades. Commercial roof maintenance services also keep costly repairs at bay by tending to defects before they cause damage.

A few essential roof maintenance tasks include removing debris from the roof surface and the gutters. Repair loose seams, cracks, blisters and other signs of damage, and repair or replace seals around the roof if necessary. In addition, assess gutters and downspouts for blockages to ensure proper drainage.

Our technicians provide thorough maintenance services. We’ll go beyond the average maintenance checklist to prolong the life span of your commercial roof. We also offer custom maintenance programs and assessments of material condition to help you budget for upcoming costs.

The frequency of commercial roof maintenance needs can depend on a few factors, including roof type, location and climate. The age and condition of the roof also impact maintenance frequency recommendations. Still, scheduling maintenance services every six months to a year is typically best. 

Emergency Commercial Roof Repairs

While routine inspections and maintenance services can prevent various damages, repair needs can still occur. In some cases, bad weather and aging materials can lead to sudden damage. Other times, the life span of the roof may have ended. 

Whether you’ve noticed signs of water damage or visible flaws, repair needs can arise unexpectedly. At Jottan Roofing, we understand the urgency of commercial roof repairs and the strain unexpected damages can put on business operations. We offer 24/7 commercial roof repair service to tend to defects before they escalate. We dispatch the roofing technicians closest to you to perform repairs as soon as possible.

Commercial Roof Replacement

Commercial Roof Replacement

If your roof has reached the end of its life span and repairs are no longer cost-efficient, we recommend roof replacement. A new installation provides decades of reliability and protection for your business.

If you are unsure whether you need repairs or a total replacement, our roofing technicians can recommend the most suitable solution. Then, our sales and estimating department offers a detailed proposal that considers your needs, budget and warranty requirements. 

Factors to Consider When Replacing Your Commercial Roof

When opting for a commercial roof replacement, you need to consider several factors. You might be able to get more value for your money by considering the following:

  • Climate: The local weather conditions determine the most suitable roofing materials. If the roof is exposed to heavy rainfall, snow or extreme heat, different roofing materials may be best.
  • Building codes: Your location also dictates relevant building codes to follow when replacing the roof. Building codes address factors like weight limits and structural capacity and provide guidance for fire resistance standards and security.
  • General use: All commercial roofs provide the essential factor of durable protection, but some also need to uphold a certain aesthetic appeal. In other cases, commercial roofs must offer chemical resistance or prevent mold growth. 
  • Physical shape and design: When replacing a commercial roofing system, vents, AC units and other existing structures can determine which materials are best.

Types of Commercial Roofing Materials to Consider

You can choose from many different commercial roofing materials. While the factors listed above can help guide you to the most suitable roofing material, our technicians can offer relevant recommendations.

We provide the following durable commercial roofing materials:

  • Thermoplastic polyolefin: TPO is an energy-efficient roofing treatment material that can keep the structure significantly cooler than other conventional roofing materials. It is a single-ply white membrane that can reflect sunlight to keep commercial buildings cooler in warm climates.
  • Polyvinyl chloride: PVC roofing is also a single-ply material that can reflect sunlight. This roofing membrane offers durability in warm, rainy climates.
  • Ethylene propylene diene monomer: EPDM is a cost-efficient synthetic rubber roofing material that offers protection from environmental stressors like extreme heat. It is also ideal for flat roof surfaces.
  • Modified or built-up roofing: BUR is a traditional type of bitumen roofing that consists of multiple layers of reinforcing materials, including organic felt or fiberglass. The durable layers are topped with a protective surface like gravel to protect the roof system from UV radiation and weathering.
  • Metal: Metal commercial roofing is a cost-efficient, durable solution. Metal is suitable for commercial roof systems and is one of the most durable materials. It is a fire-resistant and mold-repellent roofing material.
  • Shingles or tiles: If your business requires aesthetic appeal when replacing the roof, shingles and tiles are a worthwhile investment. These roofing materials offer your business optimal curb appeal.
