Factors involved in commercial roof replacement cost
If you search online for commercial roofing costs, the numbers are all over the place. That’s because there are a lot of factors to consider before a quote is given.
Here are the factors involved in commercial roof cost per square foot.
Replacement or new commercial roof?
The first factor that is considered when pricing a roof is whether it is a roof replacement or a new commercial roof?
Nations Roof completes new construction jobs as well as roof repair work. We also do roof replacement and offer emergency services.
Type of commercial roof
There are pros and cons for each type of commercial roofing system. Sometimes your choice is dictated by the shape of the roof, as well as existing components and conditions.
Nations Roof offers a full range of commercial roofing systems, including single-ply roofing systems (TPO, PVC, and EPDM), modified bitumen roofing systems, built-up roofing systems, metal roofs, liquid applied roofing, and green roofs.
As you can imagine, simply Googling to find out the cost of your warehouse roof replacement is more complicated than one would think since there are so many types of commercial roofs to consider.
Size of the roof
Of course, the size of the roof will also affect the price quote you receive, but it certainly is not the only factor. The commercial roof cost per square foot may decrease for a large structure.
Nations Roof completes projects of any size. We have completed commercial roofing projects in all 50 states!
Location of the building
The roof replacement cost will increase if the building is in a difficult location to access. The prices will also increase if special permits are required or if the building is in an expensive area.
The difficulty of the job
Some commercial roof replacement jobs are more expensive than others because more structures protrude from the flat roof’s surface. The more structures that need to be cut around and sealed will increase the cost of replacing a commercial roof.
Sometimes our crews encounter situations where the original roof was not installed with a proper drainage system. Fixing these problems can lead to higher roof replacement costs.
When should a commercial roof be replaced?
As you can see, the answer to this question is complicated. There are a lot of factors to consider in commercial roof replacement costs. Sometimes it is cheaper to repair – even if the structure is over 20 years old. On the other hand, sometimes a 10-year-old commercial roof needs to be replaced with a new roof.
