Most built-up roofing is comprised of three parts: bitumen material, ply sheets, and one or more surfacing materials like gravel or asphalt.
This type of roof uses asphalt modified with other agents that will enhance the asphalt properties. The two most common modifiers are atactic polypropylene (APP) and styrene butadiene styrene (SBS). SBS modifiers forms a polymer bond within the asphalt resulting in qualities similar to rubber and combats the effects of aging and weather.
The most common ways to set SBS sheets are cold-process adhesives or hot asphalt.
The most common application method of APP sheets is to use a torch to make the underside melt into the substrate to form a waterproof bond when cooled.
TPO – TPO is a great choice for the South Florida region due to its ability to reflect sun light. TPO systems are among the fastest growing commercial roofing products and have gained broad industry acceptance for their many performance and installation advantages.
EPDM – Many existing commercial flat roofs within Palm Beach County and Broward County in South Florida utilize EPDM membranes.
Although we do not recommend EPDM for new installations, we are seasoned experts at commercial roof restoration and commercial roofing repairs of existing EPDM roofs on commercial buildings.
PVC – PVC Membranes are reinforced with polyester or glass-fiber mats or scrim. PVC sheets contain plasticizers and stabilizers, as well as other additives to impart flexibility and achieve other desired physical properties. PVC roofs are resistant to chemicals, oils, and grease which sets them apart from other single-ply roofing materials.
Metal commercial roofs are insulating, attractive, and can be very durable. They’re made from a variety of metals – including galvanized steel (the most popular), aluminum, zinc, copper, and stainless steel. The metal roof panels are covered with a coating to protect against the sun, weather, and corrosion.
Properly designed and installed metal roofing systems can last up to 50 years. When combined with substrate insulation, they easily comply with today’s more stringent energy code requirements.
No matter the size, scale, or shape of your metal roofing project, we utilize the finest materials and installation techniques. With over 20 different options for you to choose from, you are sure to find a color to compliment your structures appearance.
Any good reputable roofer will give a 5-10 year workmanship guarantee on new roofs, and up to 20 years manufacturer’s warranty.
Repairs are complicated to warrantee, it’s like trying to put a guarantee on a used tire, you just can’t. Usually repairs are good for up to 1 year.
You’ll know if the repair was done correctly after the first heavy downpour that comes. If the repaired area doesn’t leak, it likely will not again.
Probably the most important thing to know is that the underlayment is the most important part of a roof. Tile/Shingle/Metal will only be as good as the underlayment underneath. Make sure your roofer is using a great underlayment, and ask for optional upgrades.
