Chapter 5: Is It Time for a Commercial Roof Replacement or Repair?
One of the biggest questions that building owners and managers have when they reach out to our commercial roofing experts here at Heidler Roofing is whether their old or damaged roof needs to be replaced entirely. They often ask this with a bit of fear because commercial roof replacement is expensive and disruptive to business. However, it’s often a necessary investment, and one that can help you save money on your energy costs and protect your building for years to come.
For a commercial roof experiencing problems and leaks, a common misconception is that the only option is a total tear-off and rebuild. The truth is that less extensive commercial roof repairs or even restoration options may better suit the situation.
For over 60 years, Heidler Roofing has provided our customers with free roofing estimates to assess their unique situation. We will help you determine whether you need a commercial roofing coating or replace the existing roof with a different type of roofing.

If you own or manage a commercial building – a retail outlet, restaurant, distribution center/warehouse, or even a light manufacturing facility – you are also responsible for a commercial roofing system. This important structure may not always be top of mind, however.
When commercial roofs are performing as they should and protecting your business from extreme weather and the elements, they don’t typically command much attention from a building’s occupants, but unfortunately, your roof could have problems you don’t know about. Preventative maintenance (including regular, thorough inspections) is the answer to keeping your commercial roof from becoming a major frustration for your business operations.
Here at Heidler Roofing, we’re dedicated to installing the best commercial roofing systems, as well as keeping all types of commercial roofs protected over time so your business can thrive.
