Commercial roofing must be completed in a timely manner to ensure roof structure integrity, reduce the amount you must invest in maintenance, and to mitigate the damages to property. In our experience, there are five common reasons for commercial roof repair needs that our experts have helped businesses and residential property owners solve affordably and quickly.
- Drainage Issues
Standing water on flat surfaced roofs lead to serious damage since water on a square foot can exceed five pounds in additional weight. It is a common problem found on commercial roofs during adverse weather patterns. Having a proper drainage system is critical to avoid standing water which our expert staff can fix when repairing the roof.
- Poorly Maintained Or Aging Roofs
Regardless of the material your roof is made, maintenance is a regular requirement. A poorly maintained roof will age fast. Ignoring small repair issues is one of the primary reasons why serious water leaks occur. It is also why costs soar in the long-term when ignored for any given period of time.
- Damage Due To Flashing
Flashing, either aluminum or steel, is used to cover roof joints to prevent water leakage damage. It is generally used on a roof’s exterior or parapet walls. If the flashing is improperly installed, the roof covering is exposed and allows in moisture. Flashing can also break during certain temperatures which is why inspections are recommended.
- Roofing Additions Like HVAC Or Piping
After your new roof is installed, any additional changes like HVAC, piping, or satellite service can alter a roof’s stability since it punctures the roofing structure. To protect your roof’s integrity, anything that penetrates the roof must be secured to prevent damage.
- Installation Issues
While North Shore Roofing’s reputation has an A+ rating with the BBB, other companies in the North Shore area do not live up to our standards which leaves companies at risk for warranty issues. A simple fastener or a misplaced part is due to faulty installation which will leave your roofing system vulnerable to significant water damage expenses.

How Can I Prevent Future Damage?
Regular maintenance checks protect your business from disruption and reduce the likelihood of roof replacement when repairs are completed. Signs we look for include peeling paint, interior and exterior water stains, and dampness. An inspection of vents, flashing, and seams also improve the chance of finding the points of entry which further protects your property.
Your choice of a professional roofing company will significantly reduce the number of repairs, but it is also of importance to have a company on hand who handles any roofing emergencies.
