Your commercial roofing company shouldn’t be just that, a roofing company, they need to be subject matter experts, and that’s exactly what you get at Penna Roofing when you engage our professional roofing experts for your Greenville project!

What Makes a Condominium Roofing Company The Best Roofing Company for Your Condominium Roof Repair or Replacement?

For starters, you just can’t replace experience. You need to choose a roofing company with experience, but even more so than that, a roofing company that has at it’s core, craftsman, estimators and project managers that have experience. Ask for references, ask for credentials, ask for anything you need to make you feel comfortable that you have chosen the right roofing company for the job. Do they have experience in the roofing material needing repair? If you have a flat roof, are they qualified to perform the work on such a roofing structure? If you need a roof replacement, are they qualified to present you with the options available for your roof, or are they only experts in one type of roofing material, and as such only present the solution they provide and not the one you need? You need an agnostic commercial roofing contractor that will give you an unbiased opinion and set of options so you can choose the one that best suites you and your association needs.

Always Look for a Value Based Condominium Roofing Contractor You Can Trust

Penna Roofing is the leader in value-based roofing repair and replacement, including those projects for condominiums. But what does that mean? The most important thing to consider after you find a qualified roofing company for your condominium roof repair or replacement project, is to determine who offers the best value. Value does not equate to price, but value is the more important factor when choosing your commercial roofing contractor. There are quite a few components when assessing value among contractors, and sometimes they can be elusive, but most of them are critical to choosing a roofer for your job.

Value Components

1. Qualifications
2. Subject Matter Expertise
3. Timing to Start and Finish Project
4. Quality of Roofing Materials and Experience With
5. Reliability

In a nutshell the overall value you receive from a vendor is comprised of all of the things you need to ensure a proper roofing job not just for today, but for the future. In this case an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and if it seems too cheap to be true, it probably is. When you hire the right condominium roofing company that itself hires well qualified and credentialed roofing contractors and project managers, and they in turn recommend the proper repairs and associated materials needed, and they get installed properly, leading to all of the manufacturers warranties being enforceable, you are ensured you have a great repaired or finished roof you can count on for years to come. This is one job you don’t want t skimp on and hire the low cost provider. When shortcuts are taken, it has been proven you can reduce the lifespan of any roof by as much as 80% plus. In some cases using the wrong materials, or even worse, using the wrong installation processes, you can completely void the manufacturer’s warranty on materials, and be looking at a complete replacement in less than one year. You heard that right…If you install a cedar shake roof wrong, it can lead to complete deterioration in 6 months or less. The cost of replacing or repairing poor roofing work can be astronomical, and those repairs can come in short order. By hiring a value leader like Penna Roofing, you can mitigate premature deterioration, ensure enforceable warranties, giving you the security and comfort, you need to know your roof will last it’s expected lifespan, or someone else will be on the hook for its repair. Paying a fair price, for great value is definitely the way to go when choosing your condominium roofing contractor.

You can always call your local building department to see if any complaints have been filed in your town regarding any roofing contractor for violations, or general complaints.

Common Commercial Roof Failures and Signs of Potential Issues with Commercial Membrane Roofs

Roof Membrane Punctures

Punctures or holes in the roof membrane material can occur for a variety of reasons, material penetration from tree limbs, penetration from worker error, poorly mounted or installed rooftop HVAC equipment, etc. These punctures can be repaired by fusing or welding new membrane material

Open Seams

Open seams can occur when the roof membrane deteriorates due to issues or age. These can also be fixed with welding or fusing and replacement of membrane material

Pooling or Ponding Water

When roof drains fail, rain water tends to pool or “pond” in areas of the roof and standing water on your roof can be a major issue and lead to accelerating roof deterioration. Having your drains inspected for blockage and having any blockage cleared is the first step

Blocked or Clogged Roof Drains

Blocked or clogged roof drains, including roof downspouts and gutters can cause issues with pooling or ponding water on the roofs surface that will lead to roof leakage, and accelerated roof material deterioration

Bridging Walls

Bridging walls on the roof are usually a sign that the roof is nearing its age out, and considerations for a roof replacement should be considered or discussed. It can also be from poor initial installation. This can be repaired if this is the case.

Fastener Failure and Backout

When the membrane fails and water penetrates the surface material the roof contracts and expands more than the tolerances allowed forcing the fasteners to “backout” and creating a situation where the roofing envelope is compromised. These fasteners must be replaced after a full inspection of the roofing sub base and membrane are inspected and repaired as necessary.

Failing Caulk

This is the most common commercial roof failure with membrane roofs and occurs when caulk ages. This can lead to serious roof issues if left unchecked. Annual roof inspections can help you determine when roof caulking needs to be repaired and replaced. This is also one of the easiest roof repairs to make as it entails removing the old caulk, cleaning the locations, and resealing with new caulking.

Blisters

Blisters occur when air gets trapped under the membrane. This requires the removing of the affected area, alleviation of the blister, and the replacement of new membrane material that is fused or welded in place with manufacturers approved processes.

When it comes to other types of commercial roofing material repairs and replacement needs, we offer a full suite of services. Common failures on these roofs are:

• Failing shingles
• Fastener failure and backout
• Flashing failure
• Ice and water shield failure
• Poor roof venting
• Punctured surfaces
• Issues with roofing sub decking
