Commercial Roof Replacement

Extending the Lifespan of Your Investment:

While well-maintained commercial roofs can provide reliable service for up to 20 years, even the most durable systems eventually reach their replacement endpoint. Douglas Construction offers expert guidance throughout this critical process. Our meticulous inspection includes a comprehensive assessment of your roof substrate, ensuring the optimal selection of materials for your specific needs. We then partner with you to explore the latest commercial roofing options, tailoring solutions to your budget, desired warranty coverage, and the unique demands of your facility.

Beyond Aesthetics: The Multifaceted Benefits of a New Roof

Investing in a new roof for your business is a strategic decision that goes beyond aesthetics. The right roof enhances the overall visual appeal of your building, while also optimizing its functionality. Additionally, a well-designed and installed roof can significantly reduce your energy bills by improving thermal insulation. Moreover, a secure and reliable roof plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and security of your customers and employees.

Commercial Roofing Materials

Unlike residential roofs, which primarily use asphalt shingles, commercial buildings utilize a wider variety of materials due to their specific needs. Contrary to residences, commercial roofs prioritize performance over aesthetics. They often utilize flat roof designs and highly durable materials like high-impact rubbers and synthetics, offering excellent thermal insulation. Many building owners opt for roof coatings or sprays for added protection and longevity.

Common Commercial Roofing Materials

Modified bitumen
Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO)
Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber
