5 Signs Your Commercial Roof Needs Repair

Commercial roofs are designed to withstand a lot, but they aren’t invincible. Over time, they can suffer damage from weather, wear, and other factors. Here are five signs that your commercial roof needs repair:

Visible Damage: Cracks, splits, or punctures in the roofing material are clear indicators that your roof needs attention. These issues can lead to leaks and further damage if not addressed promptly. Visible damage can occur due to severe weather conditions like hailstorms, high winds, or heavy snowfall. Additionally, everyday wear and tear from ultraviolet (UV) radiation can weaken roofing materials, making them more susceptible to damage.

Regularly inspecting your commercial roof for visible damage is crucial. Look for signs such as blistering, cracking, or peeling in the roofing membrane. Pay attention to areas around roof penetrations, such as vents, skylights, and HVAC units, as these spots are prone to damage. If you notice any visible damage, it’s essential to address it promptly to prevent further issues and maintain the integrity of your roof.

Water Stains: Water stains on the ceiling or walls inside your building suggest a leaky roof. Even small leaks can cause significant damage over time, so it’s crucial to address them as soon as they appear. Leaks can lead to mold growth, which can pose health risks to occupants and compromise the structural integrity of your building.

When inspecting for water stains, pay attention to areas where water tends to accumulate, such as corners, low spots, and areas around roof penetrations. Additionally, check for discoloration, peeling paint, or dampness on ceilings and walls. If you notice any water stains, it’s important to investigate the source of the leak and have it repaired promptly to prevent further damage.

Increased Energy Bills: If your energy bills have been steadily rising, your roof might be to blame. Damaged or poorly insulated roofs can let out warm or cool air, causing your HVAC system to work harder and increase energy costs. Poor insulation can result from gaps, cracks, or deteriorated roofing materials.

To determine if your roof is causing increased energy bills, consider conducting an energy audit. An energy audit can help identify areas of heat loss or gain and pinpoint any issues with your roof’s insulation. Improving insulation and addressing any roofing issues can help reduce energy consumption, lower utility bills, and create a more comfortable indoor environment.

Sagging Roof: A sagging roof is a serious issue that needs immediate attention. It can indicate structural damage, which poses a safety risk to everyone in the building. A sagging roof may result from water damage, excessive weight, or weakened structural components.

When inspecting for a sagging roof, look for areas where the roof appears to dip or bow. Pay attention to any visible depressions or unevenness in the roofline. If you notice any signs of sagging, it’s crucial to contact a professional roofer right away. A structural engineer may also be needed to assess the extent of the damage and recommend appropriate repairs.

Aging Roof: Even if you don’t see visible damage, an aging roof might need repairs or replacement. Most commercial roofs have a lifespan of 20-30 years. If your roof is nearing or past this age, it’s time for a professional inspection and potential repairs.

Aging roofs are more susceptible to damage and may require frequent maintenance. Over time, roofing materials can deteriorate, lose their effectiveness, and become more prone to leaks and other issues. If your roof is approaching its expected lifespan, consider scheduling a professional inspection to assess its condition. Proactive maintenance and timely repairs can extend the life of your roof and prevent costly damage in the future.

Regular maintenance and timely repairs can extend the life of your commercial roof and prevent costly damage. If you notice any of these signs, don’t hesitate to contact a professional roofing contractor for an inspection and repair. Taking action early can help you avoid more extensive and expensive repairs down the line, ensuring the longevity and performance of your commercial roof.

Oh. My. Gosh. I have known about Dwyer for ages, but never in a million years did I think I would need to call a restoration company…until the day came. They were quick, professional, and EXTREMELY knowledgeable. I didn’t question for a second that they knew what they were doing, and they thoroughly answered every question I had along the way. Dwyer, I cannot thank you enough for your help during such a stressful time!

Dan and his entire crew were amazing. There were some hiccups along the way (had to change project managers part way through which was out of anyone’s hands). Our new project manager Edward was awesome. The one issue we had was with the subcontractor painting company. Dwyer built us beautiful new cabinets and to this day the paint job is what I would call “satisfactory.” In the end it was quite clear these painters were only going to do enough for a satisfactory job and that is where we left it because we didn’t want to have them come back for a 9th (literally) time. Dan Dwyer and Edward pushed hard to get them to fix things even going as far as to sit here and supervise while they worked. In the end the painters were just lazy and you can’t really fix that. The lesson here is absolutely use Dwyer Restoration. They are prompt, kind, fair, hardworking people and we would use them again in a heartbeat. Their internal survey got an 8/10 overall because of these painters but I do believe deserve a 5 star rating on here because they deserve your business and will not do you wrong. The second lesson is DO NOT use Carnival Painting if you actually want a quality paint job.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Dwyer Restoration to address significant water damage and mold issues in my home. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional, and I couldn't be more satisfied with their service.From the moment I contacted them, the team at Dwyer Restoration was responsive and professional. They arrived promptly for the initial assessment, thoroughly inspected the damage, and provided a clear and detailed schedule to address the issues.The remediation work was carried out efficiently and meticulously. Their team also took great care to protect the unaffected areas of my home. I was particularly impressed with their attention to detail and commitment to quality. My cabinets were needing to be rebuilt, all drywall at the kitchen peninsula was replaced, textured, painted and caulked better than it had been previously when the home was new.I highly recommend their services. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to customer satisfaction make them the best choice for home remediation needs.

We hired Dwyer to do a full kitchen remodel after consulting with a number of local remodel and restoration companies. Their bid was comprehensive and detailed (almost a little overwhelming). They were quick to answer questions and turn the bid back around with adjustments.The trade workers were competent and always polite. There were a few bumps as I would have expected with any major project. Dwyer responded to each concern in a timely and fair manner. In the end we were very happy with the result and would be willing to use them again.Some details about the project:* removed a load-bearing column and replaced with a LVL span. This required adjusting plumbing, electrical and HVAC around the area, as well as working with the city and a structural engineer for approval.* replaced 4' fluorescent bulb lighting with recessed LEDs.* custom cabinets (amazing work on this!) and new counters. This included converting the kitchen island into a peninsula.* rebuild pantry with a slightly different footprint to better utilize space.The majority of the work was done over about 60 days, with touch-ups and adjustments going on about a month longer.

My neighbor ran his car through my house in December 2019. The entire left side of my house was a huge hole and destroyed. Dwyer Restoration was recommended as the "disaster specialists". I am SO GLAD I hired them out of the 7 others I had come out to give me bids. They were the absolute BEST in the business to work with. I found them to be exceptional in 3 areas specifically:1. Communication2. Professionalism3. CleanlinessThere will always be bumps along the way with ANY restoration/renovation. The key is, to work with people that DO THE RIGHT THING. Dwyer ALWAYS came through no matter what and did the right thing. They handled every detail of my renovation as if it was their house and what they would want done.Dan Dwyer held my hand throughout the entire insurance process daily and we were able to get things agreed upon due to this.Mark Brown was my project manager and did a phenomenal job with scheduling and being there every time I called. He was a pleasure to work with and made everything seem so seamless.Guido Krumm was the German Carpenter that did most of the work on my house. He was also a pleasure to work with. I fell blessed to have had such a knowledgeable and trustworthy person doing the work on my house.I will ONLY hire Dwyer Restoration in the future for all of my renovation needs. I HIGHLY recommend them for your next project or disaster.
