Commercial Roofing FAQs

For commercial spaces in New Jersey, Alte Roofing offers a wealth of knowledge and several efficient techniques to tackle even the most complex roofing issues. When selecting the appropriate roof for your commercial space, several factors have to be taken into account. This includes things like the nature of the ownership (long-term or short-term lease?), the amount of traffic or components on the roof, and the type of commercial space (office building, retail space, or otherwise). You will receive recommendations that are specifically designed to fit your business when you work with Alte Roofing. To help you get started, here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we receive about commercial roofing services!

Do I have to remove my current facility's roof, or can I re-roof it?

If your building’s roof is unsafe (e.g., broken, saturated, or unstable), it is recommended to remove the old roof in order to install a new, functional roof.

How can I determine whether my company needs a new roof?

To evaluate the quality of your current roof, our specialists conduct a roof examination. Internal deterioration, such as mold or roof leaks, are signs that your commercial roof may be unstable and require replacement.

When should I plan my roof inspection?

The sooner, the better! Contractors start roofing jobs as soon as the weather warms up. It’s advisable to get in touch with a contractor in the late summer to arrange a survey for when spring finally arrives in your area. They can then begin working on your job as soon as the roofing season begins.

What will the cost of my new roof be?

The challenges specific to each circumstance are what cause the pricing for each commercial project to vary. We compete with all the reliable and effective commercial roofing solutions. The cost of your new commercial roof depends on a variety of things.

Among these factors are:

The roof size
The state of the current roof
Roof access
Insulation choice
Membrane selection
Installation choice
Penetrations in the roof, if any
The warranty type

How long will my commercial roofing system likely last?

Your commercial roof’s lifetime will rely on a variety of factors, including the type of roof and the conditions.

The following averages apply to typical roof systems:

TPO (Single-Ply Membrane): 15 to 20 Years
EPDM (Single-Ply Membrane): 20 to 25 Years

What is the average installation time for a new business roof?

The length of the project depends on several factors, including the kind of roof, the size of the roof, any damage already present, the weather, inspections, and permits. Each project is different, and it may last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. A proposed timeframe should be included in the survey report when you consult a roofing specialist for an evaluation.

How do I select the right commercial roofing company?

It might be challenging to pick a reliable commercial roofing contractor. There are databases with accredited businesses, such the National Roofing Contractors Association or the Better Business Bureau. Ask your contractor about their crew training practices and any certifications they may have with suppliers and industry organizations.
