Have you ever wondered if that random advice you got about commercial roofing is actually true? Like most things these days, you’ll need to check the facts to ensure you’re actually making a more informed decision about your commercial roof installation or maintenance. Today, we’ll debunk some of the common misconceptions floating around commercial roofing here.

1. “Every commercial roofing system is the same.” Most commercial roofs are flat and white, sure, but this doesn’t mean they’re all the same. The fact is that there are many different commercial roofing options available to you in the market. Each one has its own unique pros and cons you’ll need to weigh in on to ensure your choice will be the right one. 
2. “A new commercial roof doesn’t need as much maintenance.” Commercial roofing systems, new or not, will require regular inspection and maintenance to keep them in good shape. Otherwise, any issues they may have developed can worsen and lead to further damage and higher repair costs. It’s also likely that your roof warranty will be voided if you can’t keep up with commercial roof maintenance.
3. “Your commercial roof will instantly lower energy costs.” This is only possible if your roofing system has certain energy-saving features, such as reflective coatings or proper ventilation, to prevent unwanted solar heat gain and reduce cooling requirements. Consult a trusted commercial roofer like Exterior Building Solutions for more effective ways to keep your commercial roof energy-efficient.
