Service life varies by system type, climate, maintenance, and installation quality. Single-ply membranes typically last 15-30 years, while properly maintained metal roofs can exceed 50 years. Regular maintenance significantly affects longevity.

Generally, if less than 25 percent of the roof needs repair and the remaining system is in reasonable condition, repairs may be practical. Widespread problems or roofs nearing the end of their expected service life may warrant replacement. A thorough inspection provides the information needed to make this decision.
A comprehensive inspection examines the roof membrane or covering, flashings, drainage, penetrations, and visible deck conditions. We document current conditions, identify concerns, and provide information about remaining service life and repair or maintenance recommendations.
Yes, we respond to roofing emergencies including active leaks and storm damage. Contact our office.
Yes, we regularly inspect, maintain, and repair roofing systems originally installed by other contractors.
Yes, roof coatings can extend service life for roofs in reasonable condition. Silicone, acrylic, and other coating systems provide new weather surfaces over existing membranes, often at lower cost than replacement. However, coatings work only when the underlying roof structure is sound. Severely deteriorated roofs, those with structural problems, or roofs with saturated insulation require replacement rather than coating. An inspection determines whether coating represents a viable option for your roof.
Some disruption is inevitable, but careful planning minimizes impacts. Noise during tear-off and installation is the most common concern. Odors from certain roofing materials may be noticeable. We coordinate work schedules with your operations, provide advance notice to occupants, and maintain temporary weather protection. Many businesses continue normal operations during reroofing with proper coordination.
