Austin Commercial Roofing: Commercial Roof Consultation

Why Have Your Roof Inspected?
A roof inspection gives you the satisfaction of knowing your roofing system is operating at an optimal level. Roofing problems can easily go undetected. A roof can leak for years without showing visible signs, causing thousands of dollars in damage.

You should have your roof inspected by a professional contractor to ensure there are no potential problems. The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends getting your roof inspected twice a year: once in the spring and once in the fall. The inspector will evaluate the roof, flashings, drainage system and other components and then provide a written report about any problems that were found. Photographs may also be provided to illustrate the issues that need to be addressed. You can use the inspector’s findings to address problems while they are still small. This can save you considerable hassle and expense later.

Understanding Your Roofing System
A roof is essentially a protective, waterproof membrane. A complete roofing system consists of a combination of products, including ventilation, hip and ridge shingles, underlayment and attic insulation. These elements all work together to repel water, wind, sun, cold and other natural elements.

The types of roofing material that you select have a tremendous impact on the performance of your roof. Aside from aesthetic considerations, your choice in roofing materials is influenced by environmental and practical factors. For example, a synthetic material such as EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) might be the ideal roofing material for a cold-weather climate. An asphalt shingle roof is a common option where cost is an issue.

Using Energy Star® rated products can enhance the performance of your roofing system. For instance, you can use certain shingles to reflect the sun’s rays and keep roofs cooler, which can result in a more comfortable environment. This can also translate into lower energy costs.

Regardless which types of roofing materials are used, your roofing system should be constructed with the highest quality products and workmanship for the best performance.
