Whether you’re opening up a new business and need to do some renovation or simply want to update your current building’s roof, it’s not uncommon for building owners to order a roofing estimate at least once every few years. Since money is always a top concern for business owners, let’s take a look at a few factors that contributed to your industrial roofing estimate. That way, you’ll have a better idea of what to expect.
1. The size of your roof.
Size is one of the most important factors taken into consideration by professional roofing companies when completing an estimate. Naturally, larger roofs require more equipment, time, and manpower, thus resulting in a higher fee. Keep in mind that the slope of your roof also impacts its surface area.
2. The shape of your roof.
Risk is another aspect factored into the equation when determining the price for an industrial roof project. Unlike residential roofs, commercial roofs are typically flat. This makes them significantly after and easier to work on for professional roofers. The steeper a commercial roof, the more risk involved and the more special equipment required. These will all work to increase the price of the job.
3. The material being used.
There are several different materials that can be used for a commercial roof, and the one you choose can greatly impact the cost of the job. Whether you’re hiring a professional roofing company for a repair job or replacement, more expensive material is going to result in a more expensive job. Similarly, the harder the material is to work with, the greater the estimate. Foam roofing is always a great choice because it can greatly decrease the overall cost of the project due to its easy application and low-maintenance requirements.
Having the proper roofing is a critical component of any brick-and-mortar business. Taking a few of these factors into account can give business owners a better idea of how much the overall cost of their project will be. Keep in mind that you can adjust some of these factors in order to save some money.
