734-942-0840A new commercial roof shouldn't be an easy decision to make, it could end up having a big effect on a business' livelihood. With each building being different, it calls for experienced eyes when it comes to getting specifications and dimensions just right. It's also not going to be a cheap thing to replace or install, so you'll want to put the time in now to getting the best one.
1. Your Contractor Is Important
Choosing the right contractor will be the smartest thing you can do for your roof, but this is easier said than done. Quality typically costs more money than many commercial building owners want to pay. However, not only will a good contractor be able to do the work right, but they'll also be able to make the right suggestions when it comes to getting a long-lasting structure. Reviews and research will count for a lot here, so put the time in now.
2. The Initial Costs Is Just the Beginning
Choosing a cheaper roof at the start will likely only increase your costs over time. Poor insulation on your roof will raise your heating and cooling bills, and shoddy workmanship will lead to extra repairs. Also, beware of warranties. The real test of a roof is its quality. Should the roof be hit by a torrential storm or vandalism, look to your insurance to make the repairs, not the warranty.
3. Looking Ahead
As technology changes our ways of life, you want to make sure that your roof is capable of supporting new upgrades as time wears on. No one knows exactly what is coming when it comes to new zoning laws or consumer demands, but some companies prepare for it better than others. This is again where a good contractor can help you make decisions about what your commercial roof will need in 5 years, 10 years and 20 years.
