When you schedule a commercial roof replacement, you may be wondering what exactly this process entails. How long will it take? Will your business still be able to conduct itself as normal while your old roof is being taken out and a new one is being put back in its place?
To answer that last question: no, your business will likely not be able to keep going as it always does while your commercial roof replacement is in progress. If nothing else, your roof will be temporarily gone. And, depending on if your old roof is damaged (and how extensive that damage is), that might mean the entire ceiling of your building is gone. If your commercial building is only one story tall, that means all of your employees will be exposed not only to the elements but also to the debris of construction. For multistory buildings, that still means an entire floor of employees that have been displaced. But even without that exposure, all commercial roof replacements are noisy and will be disruptive to your employees, as well as any customers that you may be hosting.
The process of roof replacement entails removing the old roof — either entirely or partially, depending on the extent of what you need to be replaced. Next, we will inspect the structure of the roof for any underlying damage that needs to be taken care of before putting the new roof on. The rest of the process involves building your roof back up step by step until it looks as good as new. Roof replacements usually take one to five weeks, depending on the complexity of the job, including building shape, roof type, weather conditions, and more.
