Professional roofing contractors will conduct a thorough inspection of your roof to determine whether repair or replacement is the most appropriate course of action. Minor damage and small leaks can often be addressed with simple repairs. However, if you notice widespread missing or damaged shingles, decaying roof boards, unusually high energy bills, water stains on interior surfaces, or significant roof leaks, these may be indicators that a full roof replacement is necessary.

Copper is renowned for its exceptional longevity in flat roofing applications, with a typical lifespan of 40 to 70 years or more. Lead is another highly durable option. Among single-ply membrane materials, thermoplastics such as TPO and PVC offer impressive durability, lasting 25 to 30 years or longer. Modified bitumen is also a resilient choice, with a lifespan of 15 to 30 years.

If you detect a leak or any other issues with your commercial roof, it's crucial to contact a reputable roofing company like American Star Roofing immediately for an inspection. We'll promptly dispatch a skilled technician to assess your roof, identify the source of the leak, and provide efficient commercial emergency roof repair services.

The cost of a new roof can vary significantly based on the roofing material you select. Each type of roofing material comes with its own price point, which will ultimately determine the overall cost of your new roof installation.
