Factors affecting the cost of a commercial roof replacement

The larger the roof, the more materials and labour will be involved in the installation.

Many commercial buildings have flat or low-sloped roofs but some have sloped roofs. Flat and low-sloped roof replacements are generally less expensive, taking less time to install. The number of Hvacs and rooftop exhaust fans/units will affect this. For sloped roofs, the number of peaks and valleys is a factor as these take more time.

The traditional tar-and-gravel built-up roof (BUR) is a budget-friendly option. Torch on roofing is slightly more expensive to install than some other roofing types, but pays off with increased durability. Torch on roofing in Vancouver can generally last twenty-five years or more. Other options include Inverted roofs which offer exceptional stability and durability, and green roofs for energy efficiency.

The higher the building, the more it costs to get equipment to the roof. The ability to get necessary equipment to the property and how much room there is to store materials are also factors. The safety, productivity and comfort of the building occupants are considered, for instance where extra precautions or working uncommon hours are necessary.

Roofers will check the underlying structure for age, areas of damage or trapped moisture. Repairs may be required.
