What goes wrongwith a roofing contractor

You’ve got tenants under a leak, a roof near the end of its life, or three bids that don’t match. Seams, flashings, curbs, drains, and parapets fail before the open field of the roof, so one bad spot can have you shopping for a whole new roof.

Here’s what property owners run into with roofers, and what Lifetime Roofing of El Paso does about each one.

  • “inflated as they included duplicate items”

    You get a written estimate before any work starts, so you can check the invoice against it.

  • A low bid that turns out to cover less

    Lay our written estimate beside the others and compare what each one covers.

  • A price with no real look at the roof

    Every estimate follows a free inspection, insurance claim or not.

  • A new roof pushed on a roof that needs a repair

    We quote a repair when a repair will do.

  • A crew that doesn’t show when it said it would

    If the crew is running late, you get a call.

  • An open roof over your tenants overnight

    Any open roof gets tarped each night.

What callers askabout commercial roofing

How much does a commercial roof cost in El Paso?

It depends on the roof. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso prices each building after a free inspection, and the written estimate reaches you within 48 hours. Size, access, the system, tear-off, wet insulation, and drainage set the price.

Can my tenants stay open during the work?

It can be planned that way. Roof work can run zone by zone around tenants, one section at a time. Tell Lifetime Roofing of El Paso at the inspection, and we’ll figure it into your written estimate.

Do I need an insurance claim to get an inspection?

No. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso inspects your roof free, claim or not. If you file one, we document the damage and write the estimate, and your insurance company makes the call.

What warranty comes with a new commercial roof?

Two, side by side. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso puts a lifetime transferable workmanship warranty on the installation, printed beside the membrane or system maker’s warranty.

The commercial roofswe work on

All seven of these systems are common on El Paso buildings, and each one wears differently in our sun and heat. Pick the one on your building.

TPO

TPO is a white membrane with heat-welded seams. UV and heat can chalk and fine-crack it, and a cold weld can look sealed, then separate later.

PVC

PVC is the membrane that stands up best to grease and chemicals, which makes it a fit for restaurants. Over decades its plasticizers can migrate and leave it brittle.

EPDM

EPDM is a black rubber membrane. If your building has one, the free inspection tells you whether it needs a repair or a new roof.

Modified bitumen

Modified bitumen is an asphalt sheet that handles foot traffic. Its granule surface shields the asphalt from the sun, and smooth sheets wear faster in high UV.

Built-up

A built-up roof stacks plies of asphalt under gravel or a cap sheet that shields it from UV. Big swings between day and night can turn those plies brittle.

Foam

A spray foam roof has no seams, but it needs its coating, because exposed foam starts to break down within days.

Metal

Metal panels top many warehouses and metal buildings. Long panels grow and shrink with the heat: about 0.8 inch over 100 feet in a 100-degree swing.

How a commercial roof job works,call to cleanup

  1. 1

    Call (915) 353-3934 at any hour

    Phones are answered 24/7. Tell us about the building and who’s under the roof.

  2. 2

    Free inspection of the roof

    We look at the system on the building, its drainage, its rooftop equipment, and the penetrations, meaning the pipes and vents that come through the roof.

  3. 3

    Free written estimate within 48 hours

    The estimate reaches you within 48 hours of the inspection, whether it’s for a repair or a new roof.

  4. 4

    Our own crew installs the roof

    The job takes in tear-off and insulation where needed, the new roof, flashing, and edge metal.

  5. 5

    Magnet sweep and warranty paper

    We sweep your property for nails with a magnet and hand you the warranty paper at the end of the job.

Repair, coat, or replacea commercial roof

The right answer depends on where the roof damage sits and what’s under the membrane. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso does all three.

A repair can do when

  • The trouble sits at a seam, flashing, curb, or drain.
  • The open field of the roof is still sound.
  • The insulation under the damage is dry.

A new roof fits better when

  • The damage runs across the open field, not one spot.
  • Wet insulation has to come off.

Coatings can go over built-up, metal, modified bitumen, single-ply, and foam roofs. Coating over wet insulation traps the moisture, so a coating isn’t the fix for a wet roof.

What El Paso, TXweather does to a commercial roof

Sun and heat

70 daysat 100 degrees in 2023, the record

Cool roofs save the most in hot, sunny climates on buildings with low insulation, so roof color and insulation thickness are worth weighing here.

Wind

84 mphpeak gust on record

Gusts like that bear on the system you choose. Edge metal, the trim that finishes a roof’s perimeter, goes on with the new roof.

Monsoon

June 15 to Sept. 30

Have the drains and scuppers, the openings that let water off a flat roof, checked by early June.

Hail

Punctures can hide

A puncture from hail can weather quietly through a dry spell, and the next monsoon shows it inside the building.

What you getin writing

A new commercial roof comes with two papers: the written estimate before we start and the warranty paper at the end. Workmanship means how the roof was installed, so that call comes to us, not to the membrane maker.

The workmanship warranty transfers to the next owner if you sell the building.

More questions aboutyour building’s roof

Which is better, TPO or EPDM?

It depends on the building. TPO is white with heat-welded seams, and EPDM is black rubber. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso works on both and gives you a recommendation after the free inspection.

What are the red flags when hiring a roofer?

A bid far under the rest. That can mean a smaller scope. A quote with no inspection behind it is another. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso puts every estimate in writing, within 48 hours of the inspection.

How often should a commercial roof be inspected?

Twice a year. Spring and fall is the usual advice, plus after storms and after rooftop equipment work. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso inspects roofs for free.

Can other trades on the roof void my warranty?

They can. Most maker’s warranties require at least yearly inspections and notice when equipment is added. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso hands you that warranty paper, so read its upkeep terms and keep them handy.

Do foam and coated roofs need recoating?

Yes. Recoating on schedule is normal upkeep the owner pays for. On foam roofs and roof coatings, the lifetime warranty from Lifetime Roofing of El Paso covers our workmanship.

Is a new commercial roof tax deductible?

Ask your CPA. Repairs and replacements can be treated differently. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso gives you the written estimate to take to that meeting.
