What Factors Affect The Price Of A Commercial Roof Replacement?

If your commercial roof is at or near the end of its life, it is time to start thinking about commercial roof replacement. Many building owners ask how much it costs to replace their roofs. Unfortunately, there is not a one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as there are many factors that can affect the price to replace a commercial roof, including the size of the roof and the materials used. Here are a few of the other factors that can also affect the price.   

If You Have a Sloped or Flat Commercial Roof

Many commercial roofs are flat, but not all of them are. Additionally, the term "flat roof" itself is a bit misleading, as flat roofs do have a slight slope to them. The more sloped your commercial roof is, the more you can expect to pay to replace a commercial roof. 

If You Are Removing, Retrofitting, Reroofing, or Coating the Current Roof  

Another factor that has a major impact on the price of commercial roof replacement is whether you are completely removing the existing roof, or whether you are looking to have it retrofitted, reroofed, or coated. If you are looking to have the existing materials completely removed, you can expect to pay more than someone who is looking to retrofit, reroof, or coat their existing roof. 

The Condition of the Interior Roofing Materials

One of the lesser-known factors that can affect the cost of commercial roof replacement is the type of interior roofing materials that are present and their condition. Commercial roofs are not all the same. The interior roof structure may be made from concrete, metal, or wood. There may also be insulation, cover board, and other materials present. If the interior roofing materials are damaged, they may need to be replaced. This can drastically increase the costs involved with replacing your roof. 

How Accessible the Commercial Roof Is

Lastly, the accessibility of the roof can affect commercial roof replacement costs. Commercial buildings can be built close together, which can make it harder to access the roof. The less accessible your roof is, the more you may pay to have that roof replaced. 

There are many factors that can affect how much a commercial roof replacement can cost. If you are looking to have your commercial roof replaced now or in the future, one of the best things that you can do is obtain quotes from multiple roofing companies. This will help you get a feel for how much it will cost to replace your roof. Reach out to local commercial roof replacement services to state the process of obtaining estimates.
