HERE’S A DETAILED INSIGHT OF ROOFING BEFORE YOU DECIDE WHICH ONE IS RIGHT FOR YOU     

Posted by Jeff Childers, Master Roofer and

owner of Aquashield Roofing Corporation.

 

Every house must really have a sturdy, watertight roof that ensures protection from severe weather conditions like a hurricanes, snow storms, thunderstorms, extreme heat, etc. Whether it is a residential home or commercial building, correctly installed roofing systems keep people across the United States safe and dry from the harsh elements while also helping to insulated homes from the heat and cold.

 

 

Your roof is very important because it is essential to the protection of your framing and wood that makes up your home.  Without it your family would be exposed to harmful mold which is a major health hazard for you and your loved ones. There are many types of roofing systems that are made for both residential or commercial properties that are in America. Both commercial and residential structures serve a different purpose and some require a different process to build in some cases. Each type of building uses many types of roofing materials to make them impervious to moisture.

 

INSTALLATION METHODS 

 

There are many different types of commercial roofing systems and also different methods of installation when low sloped roofing systems are involved.

 

MECHANICALLY ATTACHED SYSTEMS

 

WB-9054-Rebrand-Website-Graphic-Mechanically-Attached-System-Page

 

Mechanically attached systems are a system which involves a method of only attaching the roof with screws termination bar or also known as batten bar for flat roof membranes. This method I would never suggest as many roofs have blown off due to high winds.  Many roofing contractors will install a EPDM rubber roof using this method and they are not well attached or storm resistant as rubber membranes are not as strong as TPO membrane.

A fully adhered roofing system is much more superior to any other method of roof installation. 

A fully adhered roofing application method is the process of gluing down the roofing membrane to the sub straight.  Oil base glue is usually the best option to use on a fully adhered roofing system however it is much harder to work with.  You install membrane systems with using oil base glue by gluing both sides of the application. 

You glue the substrate whether you are gluing directly to the decking or insulation and peel back the membrane then only glue small sections at a time so that there is a less chance of an error or trapped wrinkle. There is also a wait factor where you must wait for the glue to get tacky before you start installing the membrane.

 

 

 

BALLAST ROOFING SYSTEMS

Ballast roofing systems use large river rock to weight down the roof and also preserve the membrane by reflecting UV rays from the sun.  This method of installing a roof has a great liability and the potential of causing property damage or human harm when the rocks fall from the roof.  You save on the glue but it takes much more manpower and labor time to install. 

 

DIFFERENT TYPES OF LOW SLOPED ROOFING SYSTEMS

 

Many different types of low sloped roofing products are used on both residential and commercial roofs located around the USA.

 


TPO ROOFING SYSTEMS


Commercial-Roofing

Many commercial buildings are flat and require a low sloped roofing system to be installed.   Low sloped roofing systems also vary.   The most top of the line low sloped roofing system is TPO roofing membrane.  

 

COMPOSITION:

"Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is a single-ply reflective roofing membrane made from polyprophylene and ethylene-propylene rubber polymerized together."(SOURCE: Firestone Roofing Systems)

 

Most of the TPO membrane on the market today is ninety percent recyclable and highly energy reflecting from harmful UV rays that radiate from the sun.  PVC roofing membrane is similar to and it can be hard to tell the difference between the two roofing systems however PVC is softer and can burn much easier when you are wielding it with a TPO heat gun. 

 

 

EPDM RUBBER ROOFING SYSTEMS

EPDM rubber roofing membranes are applied with primer and glue either with a mechanically attached method, fully adhered method or a Ballast roofing system method.  It is much like working on an inner tube on your bike when you were a small child. In fact, patching a rubber roof and an inner tube are very similar processes.

Regular EPDM roofing membrane is not very UV protective and draws in heat unless you install white EPDM which is twice as expensive. 

 

 

   ASPHALT FLAT ROOFING PRODUCTS

Asphalt roofing products for low sloped roofs are more of a old school method of roofing. These products are still used today however they are bad for our environment.

 

 

STEEP SLOPED ROOFING PRODUCTS

  Roofing-pitch

 

Steep sloped roofing products are used on both commercial and residential roofs that have a sloped pitch.

 

 

ASPHALT SHINGLE ROOFS 

 

Great-shingle-roof11-1024x503

Asphalt shingle products are the most commonly installed roofing product on residential homes in the United States. Shingle roofs are also installed on many commercial properties such as many apartment complexes, churches, schools and government buildings.   Asphalt shingles look appealing and their cost meets the budget of an average homeowner.

 

 

TILE ROOFING

Tile roofing systems are a very high end roofing product that lasts many decades.  There are many types of tile roofing systems sold on the market today such as real slate, fake slate, barrel roofing tile, imitation shakes, concrete roof tiles and metal shingles. many of the tile product are fire resistant and can withstand severe weather.  Tile roofing systems can be very expensive for both the labor and the materials. 

 

 

WOOD SHINGLES

Wood shingles have been installed for centuries and have been around for generations.  Cedar shake shingle roofing is still rather expensive in our modern time due to the manufacturing process. The underlayment must be a thick high quality underlayment because it is what keeps the roof dry.  The Cedar Shakes protect the underlayment by protecting it from the sun rays. Cedar shakes swell and adsorb rainwater.  The installation process is slow and time consuming.

CAN AN HONEST ROOFER REALLY BE SUCCESSFUL IN TODAY'S WORLD? While a subject like this may seem uncanny in a way for some there is truth to the fact that an honest roofer has a much more difficult time with business success. There are two types of roofing contractors. There are contractors who spend an average time of ten to fifteen minutes on a roof estimate. These types of roofing contractors usually are the most honest and they give an honest price with a goal of paying their bills and making a good living. They usually do not use any high-pressure sales tactics and they are not out to get rich. The bad thing about this is that when things get bad with the housing market or the economy slows down they struggle and sometimes go out of business. Most of the time an honest roofer has true skills and real hands-on roofing knowledge that has developed over time from years of experience. Many of the smaller guys will do everything themselves like estimates, repairs and even write their own contracts. The other type of roofing contractor are ones that mix car sales with roofing sales and use high-pressure sales tactics. They also charge outrageous prices and many times use financing companies to set up financing because their prices are so high that there is no way for a customer to make an immediate payment for the job. Most of the salesman from these types of companies have very little roofing knowledge and many of them have never actually even step foot on a roof. These roof salesmen are taught to spend hours with a homeowner in order to wear them down. In some cases, homeowners are ready to call the police in order to get them removed from the property. They will sit their butt on the couch for four hours using every engineered sales trick in the book. Usually, these types of companies are more interested in how much they can profit versus the concerns and welfare of the customer. While it is true that these types of businesses are very profitable and when times get bad with the economy they can just make a few budget cuts and still survive with minimal effort but an honest roofer may ask the question "How do they sleep at night?". I know some of these types of companies that are in the news each year for giving some of their employees million dollar Christmas bonuses. The facts boil down to this in my opinion; people work hard for their money and a roof should not cost thousands of dollars above the average industry market price. By talking people into contracts that take them many years to pay off while using engineered high-pressure sales tactics separates you from what is known as an honest roofer. These roofing companies do not often ever struggle financially because of such large profit amounts from each job they sale. It is much more difficult for an honest roofer to succeed but they can sleep much better at night providing an honest service for an honest price. The world is not made for honest men it is designed for crooks to make large profits off the backs of hardworking people who just want to pay their bills and take of their families.

Numerous of the smaller sized fellas will do everything on their own like estimates, repairs and even compose their own contracts. The other kind of roofing contractor are types that combine automobile sales with roofing sales and use higher-strain income techniques. They also cost outrageous costs and numerous occasions use financing companies to established up financing simply because their charges are so large that there is no way for a customer to make an quick payment for the work. Most of the salesman from these varieties of companies have quite tiny roofing information and a lot of of them have in no way truly even phase foot on a roof.

It is significantly far more hard for an truthful roofer to do well but they can snooze much much better at night offering an sincere provider for an sincere cost. The globe is not made for sincere gentlemen it is developed for crooks to make huge earnings off the backs of hardworking folks who just want to pay their charges and just take of their families.
