ROOF TOP TALK

How will I know when it's time for a flat roof replacement?

​Generally speaking roof replacement is only necessary for two reasons:

  1. At the end of the flat roof’s serviceable life
  2. Improper Workmanship

If issues are spread across the entire roof area and they equate to approximately 25% of the roof area, likely a replacement is necessary.

A roof replacement can be considered a costly inconvenience and should be your last resort!

Common signs to watch for:
  • “Soft” substrate (or wet insulation)
  • Several consistent leaks
  • Blisters, ridges, splits, exposed felts (asphaltic roofs)
  • Failed seams, failed adhesion, discoloration
  • Excessive ponding

Considerations when moving forward with roof replacement:
  • Certified Flat Roof Contractor (OIRCA, CRCA, NRCA)
  • Roof system that suits building
  • Membrane vs System Warranty 
  • Health & Safety Certification
  • Referrals from other successful projects

There are some benefits that do come with a roof replacement:
  • You are in full control of how your roof is constructed
  • Qualify for long duration warranties covering entire system
  • Energy efficiency can be increased

What time of year is best to replace your roof? 
  • Early Spring through early Summer are the best times of year to consider roof replacement.
