Although a commercial roof is known to last for about 10-40 years, it is the type of material, the quality of the installation and Westminster roof repair and maintenance that highly influence the longevity of your commercial roof.
Weather can wear down any type of roofing system, including the commercial one. With the help of preventative maintenance and prompt intervention, things can be solved more quickly and easily, without having to worry about having roof-related problems in the long run. The ice can seriously damage a commercial roof. At the same time, high temperatures in the summer season can be quite damaging to your roof.
Autumn can also have a bad influence on the health of your roof. Thus, dry leaves can get accumulated on your commercial roof, causing the appearance of fungi, mold or water ponds.
The type of roof can also determine the longevity of your roofing system. Low-sloped roofs can help with water run-off. The choice of material for your commercial roof may also play an important part in how long it can last. In this respect, PVC can last for more than 20 years, TPO roofing systems can last for about 30 years, whereas metal roofs can last for up to 45 years.
