The duration of a flat roof replacement project will depend on several factors, including the size of the roof, the type of materials used, and the skill level of the roofing contractor. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks to replace a flat roof. Weather conditions can also affect the timeline of the project.
When considering a flat roof replacement project, we recommend seeking advice from one of our certified roofing contractors to determine the estimated timeline for your unique project, taking into account the factors mentioned above.
Inspection: The first step is to inspect the flat roof thoroughly to determine how extensive the damage is, and assess whether it needs to be replaced or repaired.
Removal of old roofing material: Once it’s been determined that a complete roof replacement is necessary, all old roofing materials are removed from the roof.
Repairing the roof deck: If there is any damage to the underlying roof deck, it will need to be repaired or replaced before installing a new roof.
Installation of the new roofing material: The new roofing material is installed in a layer-by-layer process. Barriers such as insulation, vapour barriers, and waterproof layers are laid down, followed by the new roof membrane or material.
Finishing touches: Once the new roof is installed, finishing touches are applied, such as roof flashings, edge trims, gutters, and downspouts to ensure proper drainage from the roof.
Inspection: Once the new roof is installed, it will need to be inspected to ensure that it is installed correctly and meets local building codes and regulations.
The lifespan of a flat roof depends on various factors, such as the type of roofing material used, the quality of installation, location, and weather conditions. Generally, flat roofs last anywhere from 10 to 25 years. However, with regular maintenance and prompt repairs, it is possible to extend the lifespan of your flat roof.
Roof age: As a roof gets older, repairs become less effective, and replacement becomes increasingly necessary.
Extent of damage: The severity of the damage to your commercial roof is a critical factor. If the damage is significant and widespread, then replacing the entire roof may be necessary.
Cost-effectiveness: You should consider the costs of repairs versus the cost of replacement. If the cost of repairs is close to or exceeds the cost of a full roof replacement, then it might make more sense to install a new roof.
Overall condition: If your commercial roof has a history of problems or has reached the end of its useful life, then it may be more cost-effective to replace it.
Future plans for your building: If you plan to sell your building soon or lease it out, a new roof replacement can increase the property’s value and make it an attractive option to potential buyers or tenants.
