Commercial Roof Repair vs. Replacement: How to Decide

Start with the cause

Most leaks come from flashing, curbs, penetrations and drains. If those are the problem and the membrane is sound, targeted repair is the right call.

When coating makes sense

A roof with sound insulation and a weathered but intact membrane is often a good candidate for a restoration coating, which can add years of service at a fraction of replacement cost.

When to replace

• Widespread wet insulation
• Repeated leaks in many areas
• Membrane shrinking, splitting or blistering across the roof
• Roof well past its expected service life

A roof inspection with photos and moisture findings lets you budget for repair now and replacement later, instead of guessing.
