Your typical commercial roofing system can last a long time but, sooner or later, you will find yourself in need of repairs or maintenance. WE TAKE THE GUESSWORK OUT OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND SCHEDULING. The obvious reasons would be if you have a leak or observe a damaged section after a storm. Most roofs need to have some type of maintenance performed at least once a year to help prevent these issues. Most commercial roof leaks are caused by lack of maintenance (ex. penetrations that have not been resealed), third party damage, or debris build up. If you have severe leaking or if you have not had any maintenance performed on your roof and it is over 10 years old, it most likely needs to be restored with coating. ProVantage Systems can help, call use TODAY!

A telltale sign that you're getting ripped off by someone claiming to be a professional roofer is when they cannot produce the necessary credentials needed to legally complete the job. If a roofer is reluctant to provide a copy of their license or they can't provide proof of insurance, this is a red flag.

The roofer is generally required to warranty a roof against leaks, ensuring the work performed is reliable. While other parties may have responsibilities related to roofing modifications, the leak warranty primarily falls on the roofer. This is why it is important to hire a roofer that is certified with specific materials like Provantage Systems.

While light colored sheeting reflects color, dark colored roofing materials tend to absorb heat, making your interiors uncomfortable during the summers. Color coated sheets from specific brands are quite popular these days, but most commercial roofs are not typically visible and therefore the preference is wholly based on insulation value or cost.

Whether you should repair or replace your roof depends on your roof’s age and the extent of the damage. If your roof is near or over its estimated life expectancy, it will likely need a complete replacement. As your roof ages, it starts to work less effectively than it used to, making it a great candidate for an upgrade. If your roof has extensive damage, whether from weather, debris, fire, or water, replacing the entire thing is your best investment.

It’s important to remember that every roofer offers different warranties, and various roofing materials come with varying manufacturer warranties. Therefore, it’s wise to take bids from multiple roofers and materials to see what contracts they’re offering and which is best for your business.

Another most frequently asked roofing question deals with roof flashing. Roof flashing is a flat, thin, waterproof material (usually steel) placed underneath shingles. It’s used to direct water away from the most vulnerable areas of your roof, preventing any water from entering cracks and openings on it. Your entire roof probably won’t require flashing, but some sections will. These are usually the most leak-prone areas, such as:
• Any roof surface that connects to a front or side wall
• Valleys (low points where two roof slopes connect)
• Around protrusions like bathroom vents, chimneys, or skylights
• Edges (eaves or rakes)
• Venting and Intake
• Access Points
Installing flashing in these areas gives your home a great second line of protection against devastating water damage and provides a sturdy support for additional sealing or waterproofing in such areas.
