Let JL Contractors guide you through the process.
Signs Your Commercial Roof Needs Repair
If you see any of these issues on your roof, call a professional ASAP.
High Energy Bills
When a roof is damaged, it runs less efficiently, causing an increase in your monthly energy costs.
Moisture Problems
Dank odors, water stains, mold inside your building: These are telltale signs your roof is leaking.
Bubbling
If you notice bubbles, your roof has almost certainly been compromised and is taking on water.
Sagging
If your roof sags, this is a sign that serious structural elements of your roofing system are damaged.
Ponding Water
When your roof’s drainage systems become clogged or damaged, water is unable to drain and ponds.
Damaged Flashing
When Flashing is damaged, the joints of your roof are susceptible to water damage and deterioration.
Commercial Roof Repair:
When Do You Need It?
Commercial roof repair is the best option for roofs that are only partially damaged, especially when the damage is contained to one part of the roof.
For example, if fallen debris has damaged only one part of an otherwise pristine roof, repairs are the perfect choice for a building owner or property manager.
Other circumstances that are perfect for repair are minor damages, such as small leaks, damaged flashing, clogged drains, or other less structural issues.
At JL Contractors, our recommendation is that if more than 25% of the roof is damaged, a roof replacement would probably be the more cost-effective solution.

That said, here is a broad overview of some factors that help us determine which solution is better for our clients.
