Metal Roofing for Commercial Buildings

It was bound to happen. Father Time has caught up with your commercial building’s roof. Rust, corrosion, storm, and hail damage — all these things detract from your building’s aesthetic and need to be addressed. As a building owner, your worries may include the time to fix your roof, the material choices that will give you the most life from your roof, and, of course, cost. You may find yourself thinking about a coating that will be a “band aid” — a short term fix to just get something done quickly. However, let us encourage you to look into a retrofit system, as it’s a reliable, permanent fix that will also make your building look more beautiful.

Retrofit Roof At-A-Glance 

  • Prolongs the life of your building

  • Fits over your existing roof

  • High quality, durable metal panels

  • Eco-Friendly as there is no need to tear off the existing roof

  • Cost-efficient

  • Energy efficient

  • Added insulation

A retrofit roof panel will reflect up to 88% of the sun’s rays, insulating the building and thus allowing for an energy-efficient roof that actually saves you money on your energy bills. As there’s no need to remove the existing roof, installing a retrofit system is environmentally-friendly, with almost no waste. A 15-year warranty ensures you the highest protection over the longest period of time, so you can go about your business with your mind at ease. Retrofit roofing systems have a service life of around 50 to 60 years, meaning it will likely last the life of the building, effectively eliminating future replacement costs.

Next Steps

Call us to set up a free consultation. We will come out and take a look at your roof to determine if your building would benefit from a retrofit roofing system. Remember — This could be the last roof you’ll ever need!

Hail Proof Roof & Shingles in Douglas County

Oh Hail No

The Problem

We’re certain you’re tired of hearing about hail, as it’s talked about ad nauseam. Gosh, we’re sick of it, too! But it’s important to remember that it’s an undeniable part of life in Colorado. So what can be done about it? Do we hope and pray it won’t be too bad this year? Do we force a smile and pretend those hail divots on our roof and gutters don’t exist? How about we acquiesce and replace our roofs every other year. (The answer to all these rhetorical questions is a resounding NO)

You know the sure things in life. In Colorado, it’s death, taxes, and hail. While we can’t help you with death and taxes, we’ve got you covered on the hail part.

We absolutely love our clients, but we don’t want to be seeing you again for a very, very long time (no offense, of course).

Why Does Colorado Get So Much Hail?

You’ve likely heard of “tornado alley,” which is a loosely defined area in the central United States where tornados are very common, but did you know there is a “hail alley” as well? This area overlaps much of what is traditionally considered tornado alley along with states like Minnesota, Missouri, and Colorado. So, what makes these states like Colorado so hail-prone? It mainly has to do with elevation. Hail forms in the cold air above us, so at higher elevations, it doesn’t have as far to fall and potentially melt before making impact with the ground. Colorado has the highest average elevation of any state, meaning we are much closer to the freezing level in the atmosphere, making hail even more likely.

How Hail Can Damage Your Roof

Depending on its size, a piece of hail can make impact traveling anywhere from nine to 40 miles per hour. Obviously, the larger the hailstone and the faster it’s traveling, the more damage it can do to your roof. Hailstones can bruise, crack, and tear away at roofing shingles which not only threatens the structural integrity of your roof but can also lead to water damage.

Common Signs of Hail Damage

It’s often hard to identify signs of hail damage to your roof. This is not only because it can be challenging to safely get up to your roof and check, but the signs can look insignificant or be too small to notice. Thankfully, there are a few tell-tale signs of hail damage that anyone should be able to spot. These include:

  • Shingles, tiles, or granules on the ground.
  • Leaking or clogged gutters.
  • Shingles that have been cracked or broken.
  • Shingles that are peeling off.
  • Missing shingles.
  • Water damage or leakage inside of your home.
  • Damage to your home’s exterior and windows.

3 Facts to Know About Flat Roofing and Flat Roofing Repair

Posted by admin on

What do you know about roofs? They cover a home, are made of shingles and panels, and are pithed, right? Well for most roofs those three factors are the case, but not when it comes to flat roofing.

Flat Roofs Aren’t Always Flat

In fact, no flat roofs are 100 percent flat. What happens to moisture on a flat surface? It stays there. For roofing purposes, all flat roofs have at least a few degrees of slope to allow water and debris to drain off.

In the roofing, world slope is measured in rising/run every 12 inches. For example, a roof that rises six inches vertically for every foot it runs would be a 6/12 slope. For roofing, a roof is considered flat if it has a slope of 1/12 or less.

You Can Do Your Flat Roofing Repair Without Redoing Your Flat Roof

The beauty about flat roofing is that you can revamp your flat roof without redoing the whole thing. Flat roofs are perfect candidates for roof coatings that can add more years to your flat roof. Roof coatings are much cheaper than roof replacement, so you flat roof could last even longer with the help of a roof coating.

Flat roofs are transformed into blue, cool, or green roofs, and on top of that, they’re perfect for solar panels. This article isn’t long enough to list what all those colored roofs mean, but all you need to know is that flat roofs are simple to transform into environmentally-conscious roofing.

When most people think roofs, they think pitched roofs, but we’d be lost without our flat roofs too. Flat roofs have some unique properties and interesting facts that make them different from the shingle.
