If you are planning to build a commercial building or need to put a new roof on an existing industrial unit you have plenty of choice. Gone are the days the owner of a flat roof building had little choice but to have an asphalt roof. Today, there is a much greater choice. Over the past two or three decades, new flat roof systems have been developed and come to market. Having a choice is good, but some are unsure about how to make that choice, so here are some things you need to consider when choosing a commercial roof.
Cost
How much your new roof will cost is an important consideration. However, there are other cost considerations beyond the installation cost. Some insulated roofing solutions will considerably reduce your power bills. Sometimes buying a more expensive roof will actually save you money in the end.
The Lifespan of the Roof
How long the roof will last is another consideration. A roof with a thirty-year warranty is usually a far better option than one with a ten-year guarantee. Again, you pay more, but in the long term save money.
Aftercare
Choosing the right contractor to install your roof is nearly as important as picking the correct roofing system. You need to find an experienced local contractor who will be in business long enough to honor their warranty. It makes sense to look for a firm who is accredited by trade associations and has a long history and good reputation. Paradigm Roofing is a good example of such a firm, they are a Frisco commercial roof construction firm that is fully bonded and insured. This company offers their customers a choice of nine different industrial roof systems.
