Living in Allendale, we are no strangers to severe winters—years of snow and ice can wreak havoc on a roof. Missing shingles can make it look shabby, and old roofs can allow heat to escape or cold air to enter, resulting in skyrocketing electric bills.
Looking to get a new roof installed on your commercial property? Or is your existing roof in need of repairs? Legacy Roofing can help you with either. Our single-ply membrane roofing will make your building not only look incredible for years to come, but also prevent damaging leaks. Save your company a significant amount in electric bills by efficiently retaining heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer.
TPO Roofing
Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing is a lightweight option for commercial roofing. This synthetic recycled rubber roofing is relatively new on the market, but has grown to be extremely popular due to its affordability and energy efficiency.
- Increased energy-savings for warmer states: Because it is light in color, TPO reflects heat. This makes it a better option for areas of warmer climates when it comes to energy efficiency.
- Versatility: TPO can be applied to both partially sloped and flat roofs, making it a good option for buildings that have areas of both pitches.
- Insulation required: TPO does require insulation to be installed prior to the synthetic roofing material being laid, but the overall installation is quite simple and quick, meaning you won’t need to close daily operations for long.
EPDM Roofing
Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) is a type of rubber roofing material.
- Increased energy-savings for colder states: Due to its naturally darker color, EPDM absorbs heat well, making it a great option for colder climates—its heat-saving abilities slightly trump TPO roofing.
- Insulation required: Like TPO roofing, EPDM also requires insulation to be effective in retaining heat.
- Multiple methods of installation: EPDM can be screwed in with fasteners, adhered with glue, or ballasted with stones or pavers.
Flat pitch only: EPDM is suitable for flat roofs with no pitches.
TPO vs. EPDM Commercial Roofing
While both methods of roofing are great in their own right, they do have their own strengths.
EPDM roofs can last about ten years longer than TPO roofs, though they are potentially more prone to puncturing. TPO roofs, on the other hand, are more durable and less likely to experience leakages. When a fire retardant is added during manufacturing, both TPO and EPDM reach UL Class A fire ratings.
If you want to invest in a long term solution and do not have many external factors that could weaken the integrity of the roof, EPDM is typically the way to go. Speak with our team to determine which roof is right for your business
Commercial Roof Repair
If you are noticing leakages and/or signs of structure-weakening water damage, missing shingles, or experiencing noticeable drafts, you are most likely in need of roof repairs. Damage to your roof can be caused by many external factors, including snow, ice, and hail, standing water, and fallen trees. Old roofs that are in generally good shape may benefit from repair rather than total replacement.
The cost of roof repair varies depending on the type of roof as well as the extent and size of the damage, but for minor repairs, anywhere from $150–$400 is normal, while larger more intensive repairs that may include gutter repair can go up to $1,000. We repair roofs made of metal, shingles, flat roofs, and tile roofs. In addition to standard roof repair, we offer emergency roofing repairs—contact us to learn more.
Commercial Roof Replacement
If the damage of your roof exceeds a certain extent, it may be in need of complete replacement. Typically, a good time to replace a roof is after 20 years, at which point it may be showing visible signs of wear. If a large area of the roof requires repair and you are having difficulty matching your existing shingles to the new material, a replacement can be better. This will ensure your roof is aesthetically appealing, keeping your property value high.
Another reason to replace your roof? Major damage from natural disasters—extreme wind from storms or tornadoes can rip off shingles and cause trees to crash down, leaving structural issues that can only be fixed with a total replacement. In an emergency situation like this, reach out to us to mitigate water damage and ensure your building and interior stays intact.
A roof replacement can cost anywhere between $6,500–$11,900, though it is dependent on the size and pitch of your roof, as well as material and permit costs. While many insurance companies provide coverage for replacements resulting in damage from the elements, they will not cover replacements related to the age of the roof. We are happy to provide inspections to help you navigate your roof replacement.
