Commercial Roofing in Margate, Florida

The commercial buildings in Margate face the same heat and the storms as the homes - but the flat roofs, the larger spans, and the HVAC units make the demands different. Commercial roofing in Margate means the materials and the methods built for the flat surfaces, the ponding water, and the Florida UV.

Signs Your Margate Commercial Roof Needs Service

• Ponding water after a storm - the drainage is not working
• Blisters or bubbles on the membrane - the heat has trapped the moisture
• Cracked or alligatored surface - the UV has dried out the material
• Leaks at the seams and the flashings - the thermal cycling has pulled the seals apart
• The insulation is wet - the moisture has worked through the membrane

Why Margate Commercial Roofs Need the Right Materials

The Florida heat is the first challenge. The flat roofs absorb the sun all day, and the surface temperatures exceed 160 degrees. The white TPO and the reflective membranes reflect the heat and keep the building cooler, which cuts the cooling costs for the business.

The water is the second challenge. The flat roofs have to move the rain to the drains, and the ponding water stresses the membrane and the seams. The proper drainage and the slope are critical.

The wind is the third challenge. The uplift on the large flat spans can pull the membrane loose in the hurricane season. The proper attachment and the ballast are critical to the wind rating.

How We Do Commercial Roofing in Margate

1. Inspect the roof and the structure - check the deck, the drains, and the existing membrane
2. Prepare the surface - clean, repair, and prime the substrate
3. Install the membrane - the TPO, the modified bitumen, or the coating
4. Flash the penetrations - the HVAC units, the vents, and the curbs
5. Test the drainage - the water flows to the drains and the ponding is gone

Preventing Problems on Margate Commercial Roofs

• Inspect the roof twice a year - the spring and the fall, before and after the hurricane season
• Clear the drains and the scuppers - the debris blocks the water flow
• Check the flashings at the HVAC units - the thermal cycling loosens the seals
• Apply the reflective coating when the membrane ages - the UV protection extends the life

The commercial roof in Margate is an investment in the building. The white TPO membrane reflects the heat and cuts the cooling costs, and the right maintenance doubles the life of the roof.

The Flat Roof Business Case

The commercial roof in Margate is a business asset, and the decisions are made on the numbers. The flat roof that leaks disrupts the operations and damages the inventory and the equipment. The roof that is maintained and repaired on schedule costs less over the life of the building than the roof that is neglected and replaced early. The Margate business owner who treats the roof as an investment gets the longer life and the lower cost per year.

The inland location means the humidity and the heat do the work, and the algae and the UV are the wear factors the materials have to beat.

Working Around the Business

The commercial roofing in Margate is scheduled around the business. The work is done in the sections, the parking lot is managed, and the operations continue with the minimal disruption. The HVAC units and the rooftop equipment are protected during the work. The result is the roof that is replaced or repaired without the business ever shutting down. The Broward County commercial crews know how to keep the building running while the roof is being done.
