Commercial and Industrial Roofing Services
services: replacement systems.
OVERVIEW
Also referred to as a “tear-off”, a Replacement System starts by removing all of the existing roof materials to the top surface of the structural roof deck.
Although there is certainly a cost associated with a “tear-off”, this roof system provides you the longest projected service life. You have the advantages of being able to inspect and make any repairs needed to the structural roof deck and avoid any possible negative impact upon the new materials that may be associated with leaving a deteriorating existing roof deck in place.
During the process, we only remove as much of the existing roof as we can make watertight again by the end of the day and, of course, none of the existing roof is ever removed with a chance of inclement weather.
NEW ROOFING SYSTEM OPTIONS
If you have a flat roof, you will ultimately choose from the four major product groups. Conventional Built-Up, Modified Bitumen Built-Up, Thermoplastic Single-Ply, and Thermoset Single-Ply. Metal building owners have the option of Elastomeric Liquid Systems as well.
You will probably want to do some research on each of the groups, depending upon the specifics of your structure and your plans for use of the roof area. For example, if you have a metal roof deck, you are probably going to want a lightweight system. Alternatively, if you have a substantial presence of equipment mounted above and through the roof, you are probably going to look for a system that is thick, durable, and puncture resistant.
We would be more than happy to supply you with information that comes from the industry’s most respected sources, as well as the major manufacturers, to help you make an informed system selection. Our proposals include photographs that show you the various steps associated with installing the systems listed above, cross-section sketches to illustrate the components that make up each system, and narrated video documentation when applicable so that building owners and decision makers can have a clear understanding in the needs of their roof without ever stepping foot on a ladder.
