Re-Roofing
Roofs eventually fail. Whether it is through the normal course of time, due to a lack of regular maintenance, or because of a storm or accident, homeowners and commercial building owners are faced with a dilemma. When a roof fails unexpectedly, the sudden expense can be difficult to handle. In these situations, Raincoat Roofing provides the know-how an expertise to determine if a re-roofing is the right answer to the problem.
Re-roofing, also known as roof recovering, consist of applying a new roof system and membrane on top of the existing, damaged roof structure. In some cases, re- roofing makes more sense than totally tearing down and replacing the old roof.
Is A Re-roofing Project Right For Me?
Not every situation is ideal for a re-roofing project. Raincoat Roofing will come out and perform a thorough inspection for each client in order to make the right call. The following issues are used to determine the feasibility of a re-roofing solution:
- Inspect the deck structure: Raincoat Roofing will inspect the roof deck to ensure that it can properly support the weight of the re-roofing materials.
- Check with local codes: Raincoat Roofing has over 30 years experience in Chicago's roofing industry and is a member of the Chicagoland Association of Roofing Contractors. We handle all of the code and permitting issues that may come into effect.
- Budget: Re-roofing is substantially less expensive than a total replacement. Costs are always a concern, so we work with our clients to determine the best course of action in terms of investing their money into their home or building.
- Deadlines: Re-roofing has a quicker turnaround time for getting a new roof in place when timing is critical. If a damaged roof is preventing a business from operating, every day saved by re-roofing provides significant cost savings.
All of these factors weigh into the decision when it comes to starting a re-roofing project. Raincoat Roofing will go through all of these points and more with each and every client to choose the best course of action.
