ReRoofing

When your roof sustains significant damage, it’s natural to assume a full roof replacement is the only option. However, depending on the condition of your roof and the materials used, you may qualify for Thompson’s Roofing commercial reroofing services. Our reroofing process, also known as a “roof over,” offers a cost-effective and minimally disruptive solution.

Commercial Reroofing vs Roof Replacement

Understanding the distinction between reroofing and roof replacement is essential for making the best choice. Reroofing involves adding a new layer of shingles directly over your existing roof, avoiding the need to remove and replace the entire structure. This simpler process is highly effective in suitable situations, but extensively damaged roofs still require a complete replacement.

Thompson’s Roofing provides comprehensive inspections to help you determine whether commercial reroofing or replacement is the right choice for your property.

When To Choose Commercial Reroofing Services

Commercial reroofing can be an excellent solution in specific circumstances. Thompson’s Roofing adheres to building codes, which prohibit reroofing over more than one existing layer of shingles. You might consider reroofing if:

Your Roof and Deck Are Structurally Sound

  • The underlying structure must be in good shape to support a new layer of shingles.

You’re Budget-Conscious

  • Reroofing is a cost-effective option, especially if you want to enhance your property’s value without significant expense.

Repairs Aren’t Enough

  • If repairs no longer address the issues, but a full replacement isn’t necessary, reroofing may be the ideal middle ground.

You Need Minimal Disruption

  • Reroofing is quicker and less invasive than a full replacement, reducing downtime for businesses or inconvenience for homeowners.

When Reroofing Isn’t the Right Option

While reroofing is suitable in some cases, it’s not the best choice for every roof. Situations that require a complete replacement include:

Structural Issues

  • If your roof deck shows signs of rot or sagging, reroofing won’t address these underlying problems.

Mold or Mildew Growth

  • Shingles affected by mold or mildew should not be covered with a new layer, as the problem will persist beneath the surface.

Long-Term Needs

  • Reroofing is a temporary solution. If you’re looking for durability and longevity, a complete roof replacement is a better investment.

Aesthetic Preferences

  • A full replacement allows you to explore new materials and colors, giving your property a refreshed and modern appearance.
