A full commercial roof replacement can carry a high price tag, and it may not always be your best investment. It all depends on your short-term and long-term business plans. Experienced craftsmen and quality materials can add years to your roof’s lifespan through expert commercial roof repairs instead of a roof replacement.

The Risks of Leaving Damage Unaddressed
Ignoring your roof’s health will lead to unnecessary expenses and, eventually, a premature roof replacement. From major storms to blazing sun and inclimate weather, forgoing an inspection may be setting yourself up for a litany of expensive issues down the road.
This is because what starts as a small problem today can compound into a much larger and more costly issue in the near future. Small cracks and leaks can allow water to seep in and damage the underlayment of your roof. Over time, water penetrating your roof will begin to destroy insulation, damaging your building’s structural integrity, and causing mold within your building. Eventually, the state of your roof will reach a place where a repair is no longer an option, and you’ll need to invest in an entirely new commercial roof.
How Commercial Roof Repairs Prolong Your Roof’s Life
If you instead choose to schedule a commercial roofing inspection right away, an experienced roofing professional can identify and repair roofing issues immediately. Minor roofing damage such as cracks and gaps and roofing are typically easy to fix. Repairing these issues adds years to the expected lifespan of your roof by preventing issues from compounding and getting worse. What’s more, these inexpensive repairs save you money in the long run by avoiding the need for a premature roof replacement.
What Is the Average Lifespan of a Commercial Roof?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to the expected average lifespan of a commercial roof. How long your roof will last depends on several factors. Consider the following, or speak with your roofing professional to gauge your roof’s expiration date.
- Weather: Weather is responsible for wear and tear on your roof, making it more susceptible over time. The geography, topography and climate of your location can affect the lifespan of your roof. Areas prone to heavy thunder, hail, wind, and rain storms risk more frequent and severe damage. It’s essential to schedule an inspection immediately after any significant storms to complete necessary commercial roof repairs that protect the integrity and prolong the lifespan of your commercial roof.
- Materials: Different roofing materials generally have different longevity and durability. Single-ply membranes such as EPDM, TPO, and PVC may last from 20 to 30 years or longer with proper maintenance. Meanwhile, metal roofing typically lasts for at least 40 to 50 years, and often longer.
Book Frequent Inspections
Many property owners wait until a significant event, such as a hail storm, to schedule an inspection. While visible damage is an unmistakable sign to contact a roofing professional, not all damage is visible to the untrained eye. Even minor cracks, bubbles, blisters, and cuts in your commercial roof system can have major consequences down the line. These issues typically escape the attention of the average person, but an experienced and expert roofer can spot such problems quickly, with recommendations to protect your roof.
Frequent inspections are a key part of keeping your commercial roof in good condition. The sooner an issue is noticed, the faster it can be repaired, and the more that damage can be reduced or prevented. Many commercial roofers offer inspection services for free or at a very low cost, so be sure to take advantage of this!
