Installation & Replacement
Draw on years of experience in commercial roof installation and replacement.
Getting a new commercial roof is not always the most exciting purchase. Many would rather opt for less expensive repairs with a false hope that it is a permanent solution.
The fact is that in many cases a commercial roof replacement is a better investment than a perpetual series of repairs. When a roof is later in its lifespan these repairs put a Band-Aid on the problem rather than solve it.
At Try-Lock Roofing, we are happy to walk you through the process so that you make a good buying decision on a new commercial roof, or if repairs or coating will be sufficient to solve your roofing needs. Over the past 90 years we have installed thousands of commercial flat roofs on local businesses in the Buffalo, NY and greater Western New York areas.
By far, age is the best indicator of a roof that needs to be replaced. Commercial roofing systems generally do not last longer than most residential roofs.
Typically, commercial EPDM rubber and TPO roofs can last anywhere from 25 to 35 years, depending on the thickness (.045, .060, .090 mm) of EPDM/TPO you choose and how diligent maintenance is taken. Once a roof reaches the 20 year and beyond mark repairs will only do so much, and you should consider replacement.
If your roof is leaking, it is not doing its job. Next time it rains, check for signs of leaking or dampness around penetrations, drains and interior walls. If there’s only an isolated leak, then you likely are in need of a minor repair. Multiple leaks, however, are symptomatic of a larger problem.
Your roof does not just keep the elements out – it keeps heated or air-conditioned air in. If you have noticed that your heating or cooling costs have increased in the past few years and you cannot figure out why, it might be because your roof is not properly insulating your building.
If you are worried about your flat roof, take an afternoon to visually inspect it. Do you see damage to your flashings? Cracks, bubbles or blisters in the membrane? Large ponding water that does not effectively drain? All of these issues are signs of a roof that needs to be replaced. At Try-Lock Roofing we provide thorough roof inspections of your commercial roof that assist in preventing further damage to your roof and building. Call today for your roof inspection!
If your roof is in relatively good condition, there is a chance that total replacement is not necessary. Basic repairs may be enough, as well as:
Roof re-cover means adding another membrane on top of your existing roof membrane in order to address damage without a full replacement. It is a great alternative if your existing roof insulation integrity is uncompromised and you have a single roof layer. New York State code only allows two layers maximum.
The process of roof coating entails applying a thin liquid membrane to your roof to proactively add more protection from the elements. It works best when the roof itself is in fine structural condition with no insulation issues.
Try-Lock is proud to offer Elevate’s RubberGard EPDM Roof System, one of the most versatile single-ply rubber roofing systems on the market.
Elevate UltraPly TPO roofing membrane is great for almost any type of roof, especially low- slope commercial roofs.
GAF RUBEROID® Torch Smooth Membrane is a modified bitumen roofing system that comes in both smooth and granular surfaces depending on your needs. Modified, while a very durable roofing system where applicable, is generally better for more specific applications. EPDM and TPO roofs are the preferable roof system solution when possible.
