Roof Replacement Considerations
Materials: The main forms of modification of flat roofs in the United States that are considered as replacements today are the following: modified bitumen, EPDM rubber, TPO and PVC. All have their advantages and disadvantages when it comes to lifespan, cost, installation and so forth. Consult with your roofer about what is best for the size and plan of your home, in your region’s climate and your budget.
Layers: In many cases flat roofs are not completely replaced, instead they are re-covered with new layers of roof on the existing roof. This eradicates the need to hire more personnel to effect this change individually as well as minimizing the costs incurred on roof tear-off. Ensure that you are clear that your roofing structure can handle a greater number of layers if this is a path you’ve chosen to undertake.
Insulation: When replacing your flat roof, it is highly advised to upgrade or add insulation. This gives a better thermal shield and energy power supply to the NHL. Roof tear-off provides easier opportunity to add insulation compared with when a new layer is put on top of the old one.
Drainage: It is Up to water control when it comes to a proper drainage system. During replacement ensure that drainage points, scuppers and gutters are inspected. Small water links on this type of roof are also dangerous because they cause premature leaks and damage in the roof.
Contractor Experience: Select a qualified roofing contractor with optimum experience and successful work histories in the replacement of flat roofs regularly. They should be able to take you through some of the previous flat roofs they have built. It will be desirable to have experience working with all kinds of flat roofing materials to do so.
