Long before your current roof begins to leak, you should begin setting aside money for a replacement. In this way, the replacement does not become an emergency expense, giving you time to decide if changes should be made, as well as to figure out which method of financing is the best.
Before making a decision to buy a new roof, think about all of your options. Here are a few of the most important to remember.
What is the Life Expectancy of the Current Roof?
Knowing how long your current roof will last will give you time to start thinking about replacement. It’s possible to make an educated guess based on the length of the roof’s warranty versus the date of installation, but getting a roof inspection is preferable. Any problems that arise sooner than expected will be discovered, as will damage that was previously hidden and could shorten the roof’s lifespan.
Consider Your Options
New commercial roofing systems come in a variety of shapes and sizes, so no matter what type of building you have, you should consider more than one of these options for your new roof. The cost is only one consideration when making a decision. It’s also important to think about the long-term impact on your energy use of the roofing material’s production on the environment.
Know How to Calculate the Cost of a Potential New Roof
Several variables must be taken into account when calculating costs. For example, consider what materials will be used to construct your roof, what materials will be installed beneath the visible covering, what will be attached to or protruding from your roof’s surface under high winds and what building codes are required in your area, among other factors. Another important consideration is how easy it is to access the roof.
Single-ply flat roofing is the most affordable option, while metal is the most expensive. However, the material’s durability must also be considered.
Plan for Extra Expenses
Market conditions may change between the time you set your roof budget and when you need the work done. Prepare for price increases due to factors such as inflation, labour or material shortages, and other unforeseen circumstances. Change orders resulting from unanticipated circumstances also raise the final bill’s total. Last but not least, don’t forget to account for the expense of financing.
