Commercial steep-slope roof projects often require more attention because of their size and logistics. These jobs generally consist of the removal of an existing shingle currently on the building. Whether it’s one or several layers, making sure these areas of roofing are removed safely is our #1 concern at Your Professional Roofer.
Our crews set up the job site per OSHA safety standards to ensure everyone in the building is safe, as well as our crew members. We only use the best shingles on the market and are certified by GAF and Owens Corning. Through our certifications, we can offer our customers some of the best warranties in the business on a new roof.
Architectural Shingles: Typically, these have amazing color options and can really make your building look great if the right color is chosen. An architectural shingle roof is typically thicker, thus giving it the longevity of a 50-year shingle. These shingles offer the most bang for the buck.
Designer Shingles: There are many great types of designer shingles available to replicate either slate, cedar or tile roofs, amongst some other very beautiful roofs. These are typically the most expensive asphalt shingle roofs and offer the longest warranties.
Three-Tab Shingles: These shingles are a great option as well, but often don’t offer the coloring options of the architectural shingle. These shingles have a 25-year warranty and, if installed correctly, can outlast their manufacturer warranty.
Metal Roofs: Metal systems can offer a great look for your building, giving it character to stand out among the buildings around yours. There are several different types of metal roofs, all offering a unique look, including Standing Seam, Classic Ribbed Steel, Decra® and many more. We’ll help your organization select the right look for your building.
Slate Roofs: Slate roofs are some of the oldest steep-slope roof systems on the market. We often end up doing repairs to these roofs because the building owners want to keep the look of them. They are classic roofs that last forever if installed correctly!
Tile Roofs: These roofs are also long-lasting and can stand up to major weather events. In the Midwest, you’ll see these roofs more often on businesses like retail centers and restaurants. Often, we’ll do repairs on these roofs because they do last so long.
Cedar Shake: These roofs have a unique look, and we tend to see them throughout our area. If not kept up with occasional coatings, the cedar can dry out, crack and fail. This will often lead to expensive and less-than-desirable repairs, which are hard to match with the already-aged cedar on the building. A main concern, when replacing your existing cedar roof with a new cedar shake roof, is the fire rating of the cedar shake itself. Your insurance company may require your organization to get a specific fire-rated type of cedar shake.
