As proud distributors and fully trained professionals of Conklin products and systems, we can guarantee you the highest quality materials and proper installation techniques, regardless of the type of repair necessary.
Flat Roof Repair
Though flat roofs are less expensive than other systems, they do come with their own challenges and common issues.
- Thermal Shock. With rapidly changing heat and/or cold, the roofing materials may quickly contract or expand. This may lead to buckling, warping, cracking, or other damage.
- Ponding Water. Due to the flat nature of the roof, water can sit or “pond” in specific areas. Over time, this ponding effect may lead to breakdown of the roofing material and, ultimately, to leaks.
- Poor Workmanship and Sealing. Any material is only as good as the installation it receives. Poor workmanship, whether during initial installation or subsequent repairs/sealing, may lead to material breakdown and/or failure.
- General Weathering. Over time, any material will begin to breakdown and will require upkeep, maintenance, and repair.
Metal Roofing Repair/Renovation
We specialize in metal roof renovation as well! As most modern metal roofs are made from corrugated galvanized steel, superior knowledge regarding their strengths, weaknesses and idiosyncrasies is absolutely imperative in repairs or renovations.
Though sturdy and durable, metal roofs have certain failure tendencies:
- Improper sealing, poor workmanship, or just time and age can cause leaks to develop.
- Failing seams left without sealing or repair will lead to water damage.
- Oxidation in materials is inevitable over time, and if left unchecked will ultimately lead to failure of the roofing system.
- Poor installation or weather issues may cause flashing to lift or separate.
- Damage to panels from wind, hail, and other severe weather can lead to potential catastrophic roof failure.
- Improper installation of fasteners, missing underlayment, or poorly installed piping must be corrected for your protection.
Spray Foam Roofing Repair
Spray foam roofing is a popular roofing system. Offering consistency, insulation, durability and lower maintenance, the reasons for its popularity are obvious. Just like any other material, however, spray foam has specific potentials for failure.
- Installation limitations – Installation can only occur during certain weather conditions. Basically, it needs a warm and dry day with minimal wind for the installation to go correctly.
- Overspray – The potential exists for overspray of the foam materials. This not only wastes money; it carries a risk of damage to your surrounding property.
- Maintenance – While it is true that spray foam requires less maintenance than many other roofing systems, some maintenance is still required. Particularly after severe weather such as hail or high wind, it is imperative to have an inspection to look for puncture or damage.
- Cost – Though much more cost effective in the long run, spray foam can be a little costly up front.
