Planning for your Roofing Project
PART 1
Planning for your Roofing Project
Depending on your location, timing is likely critical when planning your roofing project. While some roof types such at TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) can be installed during cold winter months, other roofing types such as asphalt or modified bitumen are temperature sensitive and must be installed during warmer seasons. It follows that projects should be budgeted and planned to occur during times of year that offer optimal weather and temperature ranges at your location.
Do You Have A Warranty On Your Existing Roof?
In addition to accounting for seasonal weather patterns, prior to beginning an industrial roofing project, you will want to research the warranty of your existing roof. If your roof is under warranty, you will want to check with the manufacturer to determine how work must be completed in order to maintain the warranty. For instance, some manufacturers will require contractors to use specific fastening patterns while installing a roof. Similarly, you might want to check with your insurance company to make sure a roof is installed in a manner compliant with the requirements of your policy.
