Commercial Roofing Experts Ocala, FL
Commercial roofing differs greatly from residential roofing,
because commercial buildings have more roofing systems and installation options than residential ones. Often, people do not realize that there are differences in roofing applications and that not all roofing companies can install both. AGM is licensed and bonded in Florida as a premiere roofing contractor for both commercial and residential roofing.
Types Of Commercial Roofing Systems
The types of commercial roofing systems are sprayed polyurethane foam, restoration coatings, single-ply (TPO, PVC, EPDM), modified bitumen, concrete built-up, tar and gravel, and many others. The most important thing for a commercial building owner to do is research what type of roofing they have, know its age, composition and find out if it is still within code before you get too far into the project. Then call AGM to set up a consultation, our roofing specialists will go over every step of the project.
Here are some of the types of commercial roofing systems AGM recommends:
- Single-Ply Roofing – Best suited for low-slope applications, single-ply roofing consists of one water-proof membrane.
- Modified Bitumen Roofing – This low slope option is durable, long lasting and weatherproof.
- Built-Up Roofing – Asphalt felts and Bitumen are installed in multiple layers.
- Metal Roofing – Durable, low lifecycle costs and flexible design make metal roofing a great commercial roofing solution.
- Specialty Metal Roofing – Often commercial buildings are ornate and require an artisan level of craftsmanship that AGM has worked hard to perfect.
- Steep Slope Roofing – No matter the composition, AGM’s skilled professionals are perfect for the toughest job.
- Vegetative Roofing – Great solutions for the commercial building that needs expanded living space, longevity, durability and is interested in the environmental benefits.
Commercial Roofing Installations
The biggest factors in commercial roofing installation is the size and composition of the roof. Commercial buildings are often times much larger than residential homes and can take a month to install. Commercial roofing systems are complex making the installation of them more difficult. Some types of commercial roofing systems utilize product that requires curing time that can add time to the completion of the project.
Repair & Maintenance
Commercial roofing systems can require periodic repair and maintenance like residential roofs do. The difference here is that when a repair is needed to a commercial roofing system it may require reapplication of a product to the whole roof not just the affected area.
Commercial roof maintenance can vary baes on the roof. If the roof is flat, annual cleaning of drains may be necessary. Inspection after severe storms can also help to prevent major roof damage or roof leaks by catching weakened areas early.
