Replacing your commercial roof can be a daunting proposition. The initial cost estimates can appear staggering and overwhelming to most owners and its easy to despair when faced with those numbers. Surprisingly though, there are actually quite a few hidden benefits that can help ease your pain. Let’s take a look at a couple of perks:
Efficiency
Its not uncommon for an existing roof to be inherited from a time that pre-dates modern efficiency standards. The quality of materials today is outstanding, featuring energy-efficient options that range from reflecting solar energy to improved insulation. By taking advantage of these innovations, you can experience substantial savings to your utility bills throughout the year.
Appeal
It’s easy to forget sometimes that a roof is often the first thing that customers or clients may see. Literally sitting atop your business, it can be a welcoming feature or a warning sign to a potential customer. Replacing an old decrepit roof with something fresh and modern can convey a subtle, yet powerful, message to customers that you are invested in doing business properly. Perception of quality on the outside will give them a perception of quality on the inside.
Maintenance
A simple but often overlooked truth: old things break more often. It’s tempting to simply repair damage to a roof with patches and quick-fixes, but these will eventually add up to a mountain of headaches and costs. If your roof has reached the point where it needs to be replaced, keeping it on life-support will be a needless drain on your time and money. A new roof will not only require less overall maintenance, but it will also prevent you from experiencing nasty surprises on a regular basis.
