Commercial Roof Restoration: Definition, Benefits, and Candidate Status

Published by Eileen Porzuczek on July 18, 2023

Commercial roof restoration can be an effective way to extend the lifespan of your roof and avoid costly replacements. As a property owner or manager, it’s important to understand the benefits of roof restoration and why traditional roofing methods are becoming outdated.

In this blog, we’ll discuss everything you need to know about roof restoration to help you make highly informed decisions regarding your assets.

What is Roof Restoration?

Roof restoration is the process of cleaning, repairing, and restoring an existing roof’s surface with multi-layered fluid-applied systems. The goal of this process is to bring a commercial roof back to top performance without the need to tear off and replace. But the process isn’t just a onetime thing because you’re then able to renew your roof for years to come. Overtime this can save your business money without the need to pay for costly tear off and replacements decades after decades. These systems also come with comprehensive warranties that meet or exceed any other warranties on the market today.

Commercial roof restoration also works for a wide range of traditional roofing materials like modified bitumen, concrete, built-up, metal, and more. So, if you have a traditional roofing system, there is a good chance your roof could be a candidate.

Benefits of Commercial Roof Restoration

One of the primary benefits of commercial roof restoration is that it can extend the life of your existing roof significantly. All while helping you avoid substantial business disruptions, because your operations never need to shut down during installation.  We have a very limited footprint while on your site compared to other roofing projects.

You may also see lower energy costs because of the systems’ reflective materials reducing the amount of heat absorption into your building. This can decrease the amount of money needed to cool your property during warmer months. Furthermore, the environmental benefits of commercial roof restoration can add infinite value by reducing your waste and carbon emissions output.

When is Roof Restoration Necessary?

Although you make think your roof is “too far gone” for restoration, you may be surprised to learn that it’s actually a great candidate for this new way of roofing—we’ve found that 7 out of 10 roofs we assess are candidates.
