The roof on your commercial building does more than just keep water out of the building. It also has an impact on the structural integrity of the building, energy efficiency, resale value, and more. When your commercial roof is in need of repair, it might be tempting to go the cheap route and do as little as possible to get the problem fixed. This poses threats to your building though. First Choice Roofing is here to talk about why it is so important to choose high quality repairs for your commercial roof.
Risks of Cheap Commercial Roof Repairs
When you choose to go the cheap route to fix your commercial roof, there are going to be some pitfalls to going in that direction. We are going to take a look at some of the risks you pose by choosing cheap repairs over high quality ones.
– Hidden Costs: While you might pay less upfront, there are likely hidden costs that you will notice down the road. This comes in the form of temporary fixes that aren’t addressing deeper issues which could start to cost you more money in the long run with frequent repairs. You may also find that there was mold present, insulation damage, or water damage that wasn’t properly addressed.
– Shortened Lifespan: If you are using cheaper products to solve an issue with your commercial roof, it is going to shorten the lifespan of the roof. You will notice wear and tear much sooner than you would if you had opted for higher quality materials.
– Secondary Damage: Sometimes, when cheaper materials are used to repair your commercial roof, you will experience issues with secondary damage. This is usually damaged caused by water. It can wreak havoc on every aspect of your building. The biggest issue that arises from secondary damage is mold and mildew growth.
– Disruptions: When you’re facing large repairs to your commercial roof, it is a disruption to your business. It can halt operations completely if the repair is serious enough. Sometimes, it can cause employees, tenants and customers to have to vacate the premises.
– Code Compliance: It is vital that all repairs done to your building are following all the regulations and building codes that are in place for your area. These safety standards are in place to keep everyone safe. When you don’t comply with these standards, you could face penalties and fines. In serious enough cases, you could have to completely redo the repair and pay double what you should have.
