Installing a commercial roofing system is a complex process. Mistakes during the installation can compromise the structural integrity and longevity of your new roof. It’s just one reason you should hire experienced professionals like Deschutes Roofing for your project.
Read on to learn common commercial roof installation mistakes that could be avoided by working with the pros.
Exposed nails will allow water to penetrate underneath the roof and cause severe damage. Your roofer should make sure that all nails are intact to secure the material tightly and improve its strength against high winds. The nail heads must be flushed to the roofing material at all times.
Your roof breathes through ventilation, and it is more crucial in flat roofs. Before the work begins, your roofer must test the moisture levels in your property. They should also check if your roof has a history of moisture damage because it will help them determine how much ventilation your new roof needs. Keep in mind that insufficient ventilation can destroy any roof, even ones of good quality.
It is never a good idea to reuse old flashing in new commercial and residential roofing systems. The old flashing may look reusable, but they have already gone through a lot through the lifetime of the previous roof. When your roofer does not replace the flashing, your new roof is more likely to leak.
Roof replacement is not as simple as it looks, and it requires proper preparation aside from installation. Even the most minute mistakes can lead to early deterioration and failure of your new roof.
