What Is the Process for Installing a New Commercial Roof?
Installing a new commercial roof involves careful planning and execution. Brad McCall Roofing outlines the typical steps in the installation process to ensure a smooth and efficient roofing project.
Initial Inspection and Preparation
Before beginning the installation of a new commercial roof, the first step is a thorough inspection of the existing roof and building structure. This allows the roofing contractor to assess the condition of the current system and determine if any underlying issues need addressing. Brad McCall Roofing will evaluate factors like insulation, decking, and drainage systems to ensure the roof installation is set up for long-term success.
The next step involves selecting the appropriate roofing material based on the building’s needs, climate, and budget. Once these factors are considered, preparations for the new roof can begin. This includes clearing the area, removing any old roofing materials, and ensuring that the structure is safe for the installation team. Proper preparation is essential for a smooth installation process and ensures the new roof will be properly supported and last for years to come.
Installation and Final Inspection
Once preparations are complete, the actual installation begins. The process varies depending on the roofing material chosen, but generally, it involves laying down the chosen material layer by layer, followed by sealing edges and seams to prevent leaks. For example, if you're installing a TPO or EPDM roof, the installation will involve unrolling the membrane and securing it to the deck, followed by proper flashing installation.
Brad McCall Roofing uses high-quality materials and proven techniques to ensure a perfect fit and maximum durability. After the roof is installed, a final inspection is conducted to ensure everything is in place and properly secured. This includes checking for any gaps, ensuring that drainage systems are functioning properly, and confirming that all components meet industry standards. Once the final inspection is complete, the new roof is ready to protect your business. Brad McCall Roofing provides reliable and professional roofing services to ensure that your commercial roof installation is seamless, efficient, and long-lasting.
