Our team at Palmetto State Roofing & Sheet Metal understands that your business is important to you, and we want to help you do what’s best for it regarding your roof. To do this, we offer a full range of commercial roofing solutions and services to keep your building’s roof in excellent condition. In this article, we will go over a few signs to look for in order to determine if it’s time to get a roof replacement.
- Visible Damage. In order to tell if it’s time to schedule a roof replacement for your commercial building, you will need to perform a visual inspection. If the roof material shows signs of damage, we encourage you to give us a call for further assistance. For a PVC roof, look for cracks; for an EPDM roof, check for shrinkage; and for a membrane roof, look for bald spots, tears, punctures, or lifting.
- Sagging. Most commercial roofs are low-slope, which tend to be more prone to sagging than high-slope roofs. If you notice the roof deck of your building starts to sag or dip in any area, then it’s most likely time to get a roof replacement. Give us a call right away so our team can check it out.
- Increased Utility Bills. We also encourage you to look at your monthly utility bills. If you notice your bills seem higher than they did at the same time last year, then we recommend you get your roof checked out, as it might be the culprit. Increased bills could mean your roof is no longer insulating your building effectively, in which case your best option could be to replace it.
