Commercial Flat Roof Repair and Roof Replacement

Commercial roof repair should always be completed by an Arizona licensed, bonded and insured roofing contractor.  Failure to do so in an attempt to cut corners will not only cost you money in the long run, but could also open you up to potential code violations and fines.

It’s important to note, that both flat roofs and angled or pitched roofs will need regular maintenance, which goes a long ways in avoiding a costly roof replacement.

For smooth, flat roofs, proper cleaning of the surface is necessary before completing a roof replacement.  If your flat roof has wet insulation underneath the membrane, it may need to be removed and replaced.  This is also a great time to repair any structural damage to any supporting beams.  The flat roof is now ready for new insulation and application of the new roof.

If the flat roof only needs repairs, it can be done by cutting away the old, damaged section and replacing with new roof layers and coatings.  Elastomeric coatings are often used in Arizona because of its superior expansion characteristics and insulation capabilities—particularly in our extreme Arizona summers.

Many property owners and management companies may be tempted in this down market to hire non-licensed contractors, but VIP Roofing can say from experience that we have followed in the tracks on non-licensed workers dozens of times in the past and always have to re-do the roof repairs.  Save yourself the headache and contact us directly at 480-961-7663 to schedule your FREE estimate or property inspection.
