Commercial Roofing Lakeville MN

Lakeville is one of those rare places where both nature and city flourish. As the city continues to grow bigger, so does the need for businesses. As a a commercial property owner, you want to feel confident that your building is in the best shape possible. A key part of the structure’s integrity is the roofing system. Gold Star Contracting is who you can rely on for commercial roofing in Lakeville MN.

The process of roofing commercially vastly differs from residential roofing. Commercial roofing materials need to be more durable, lasting significantly longer. The installation from beginning to end runs longer too. While residential projects typically run 2-7 days, commercial projects can last up to a month. Anticipating these aspects of a commercial project will help you determine when the best time is do have work done on your roofing.

Reasons For Commercial Roof Replacement Or Repair

Blow-offs

If materials on the existing roof are broken or old, they are easily affected by strong winds. Wind does not stop moving when it comes across a barrier. Typically, the direction wind will continue to move is upward when met with walls. Space between the wind and the roof creates a strong pull, ripping materials off. This is also why proper installation is so important in the beginning of the roofing project.

Damaged Flashing And Pipe Boots

Pipe boots, also called pipe flashing, have an important role for your building. They are located on the roof to supply air to the drain pipes. This helps water to flow properly and avoid any plumbing issues. The boot part is the lead material surrounding the pipe to keep it from water damage. If the boot begins to crack or peel, this will cause water to leak into the roofing system. This can happen to other flashing elements as well, causing water to penetrate the roof.

Damaged Roofing Materials

A common thing we see in the industry is the breakdown of roofing materials. Nothing is made to last forever, even top of the line commercial products.  Roofing products are made to last 10+ years. However, the harsh seasons in Lakeville speed up the natural decline of the substance. Ice, hail and snow all lead to eventual storm damage and possible rot if not addressed right away.

Materials like metal and wood expand and shrink with the changing weather. If the materials expand it can cause joints that hold them in place to break. This then creates a hole and allows water to leak into the foundation of the roof.

Which commercial roofing material is best will depend on the slope of the building. For example, single ply roofing can be used for steep slopes and adds a beautiful exterior look to the building. However, single-ply materials are more susceptible to coming apart in a strong storm. If your roof is missing pieces for a period of time, it leaves the underlaying foundation vulnerable to water damage.
