Replacing Your Commercial Roof With A TPO Roofing System

Many commercial roofs feature a flat design. This lack of a measurable slope makes the type of roofing materials used to cover a commercial roof critical in controlling moisture. If you are looking to replace your commercial roof, you should consider the installation of a membrane roofing system.

TPO is an acronym used in the roofing industry to refer to a unique type of roofing membrane made from Thermoplastic Polyolefin. TPO roofing is installed in a single layer, which helps to increase the water resistance of your commercial roof.

The reality is that you can't afford to avoid replacing a failing roof. This post discusses some of the budget-busting expenses that come along with a failure to repair a damaged roof.

3 Areas Of Your Commercial Roof To Focus On Repairing

It’s important to do continuous repairs to your commercial roof. Continuous repairs and inspections improve the safety of your roof.

In addition, maintenance and repairs to your commercial roof can be written off as a business expense, if they cost less than $2,500 per invoice, and subsequently can be taken off your taxes at the end of the year.

Of course, when you replace your roof, you can't claim the entire amount all at once, and instead, you claim the depreciation amount each year over the lifespan of an average roof. It's in your best interest to keep your roof safe by having it routinely inspected and repaired.

Advantages Of Hiring Professionals For Commercial Roofing 

When you own your own business, it's important that you take the proper steps to make sure your facilities all benefit from thorough upkeep. However, many business owners may attempt to simplify that process by making use of their own labor force for tasks that might be better off delegated to those with experience in the industry.

If you're facing the prospect of handling a commercial facility that's in need of a new roof, you might think that your employees will be able to handle laying some material and then sealing it. Unfortunately, this might be a simplistic view that requires a larger investment to correct than you may have saved in the first place.
