At Kaliber Contracting, we understand that your commercial roof is a vital part of your business. It protects your inventory, equipment, and most importantly, your employees. But with so many different types of roofs, materials, and potential problems, navigating the world of commercial roofing can be confusing. That’s why we’ve compiled this blog to answer some of the most frequently asked questions we receive.
Q: My roof is leaking! What should I do?
A: First things first, don’t panic! Leaks happen, but it’s crucial to address them quickly to prevent further damage. Move any valuable items away from the leak and place a bucket or tarp underneath to catch dripping water. Contact Kaliber Contracting, a qualified commercial roofing contractor, right away. We can assess the damage and provide a fast and effective repair solution.
Q: How often should I have my commercial roof inspected?
A: We recommend scheduling a professional inspection of your commercial roof at least twice a year. This allows for early detection of minor issues before they become major problems. Regular inspections are especially important following severe weather events like hailstorms or heavy winds.
Q: What are the different types of commercial roofing materials?
A: There are several popular options for commercial roofs, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Here’s a quick rundown:
- TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin): A cost-effective and energy-efficient option known for its durability and resistance to tears and punctures.
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Another popular choice offering excellent fire resistance and weatherproofing. Slightly more expensive than TPO.
- Metal Roofing: Provides exceptional longevity and fire resistance. Can be more expensive upfront but offers a long lifespan.
- Flat Roofs with Built-Up Roofing (BUR): A traditional option consisting of layers of asphalt and fabric. Requires ongoing maintenance.
Q: What factors should I consider when choosing a commercial roofing contractor?
A: When it comes to your commercial roof, experience and expertise are key. Kaliber Contracting has a proven track record in commercial roofing, proper licensing and insurance, and positive customer reviews.
Q: How much does a new commercial roof cost?
A: The cost of a new commercial roof can vary depending on the size and complexity of your roof, the chosen material, and the current condition of your existing roof. However, Kaliber Contracting can provide you with a free estimate after a thorough inspection.
