Benefits of a Roof Recovery
If your commercial roof is reaching the end of its lifespan, a roof recovery may be right for your building. A roof recovery is sometimes an alternative to having a full roof replacement, which can be expensive and interrupt your business operations for an extended period.
What is a Roof Recovery?
A roof recovery is installed directly over your current roofing system. This adds an extra roofing membrane that acts as a protective layer for your roof. This eliminates the need for tearing off the roof and starting over. These roofing systems are perfect for a roof with some wear and tear but is structurally sound overall. If your current roof has major damage, a full roof replacement may be necessary.
Benefits
Extend the Life of Your Roof – Commercial roofs often have a lifespan of 20+ years depending on the materials used. A roof recovery can add an additional 20 years. Because it acts as a protective outer covering, it protects your roof from UV damage and leaks.
Save Money – Because you eliminate the need for tearing off your current roof, this reduces the labor hours and costs. These roofing systems also eliminate the fees associated with disposing of the old roofing materials.
Less Invasive Than a Full Replacement – A roof recovery is faster than a full replacement and because it is being installed directly over your current roof, there isn’t a need for a tear-off.
Energy Efficient – The systems used for a recovery often have a white top layer that reflects UV rays so the heat is not absorbed by the building. This helps your HVAC system to use less energy to cool the building and reduces energy costs.
