Commercial Roofing Services in Greenwood
Working on a commercial roof is much different from working on a residential one. The size of commercial roofs often extends into tens of thousands of square feet.
Most residential roofs fall into a much smaller range. Designs between the two types are markedly different, too, with commercial roofs frequently flat and residential ones having a greater pitch or slope.
Many commercial roofing projects for large entities such as malls or warehouses take weeks or months to complete. The choice of materials and installation requirements also differ, so selecting a commercial roofer with extensive experience can help guarantee sound repairs or installation.
Regular maintenance is a crucial component for commercial roofs. The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends that businesses schedule semi-annual inspections and maintenance. This schedule will keep roofs in top condition.
Commercial roof inspections start inside the building and proceed to the exterior, where the inspector will walk the roof to look for issues.
A commercial roofer will look for the following during inspection:
- Water stains on ceilings or walls
- Ponding water on roof surface
- Cracks and blisters
- Uplifted seams, nails, and roofing materials
- Loose flashing around vents and skylights
Inspection starts around the roof perimeter and continues toward the middle, so every square foot receives scrutiny. Our experts at Nationwide Contracting, LLC may take core samples of your roof to determine the number of layers, the substrate composition, saturation level, and other essential information.
Once we complete the inspection, our professionals will prepare a report outlining problems and recommendations. The report will include detailed information about issues they have encountered.
Most commercial roofs require repair of isolated issues or restorations for larger sections. However, your commercial roof will eventually need replacement due to age and deterioration. Our staff will prepare various replacement solutions to fit your company’s needs and budget.
