Technical considerations

Roof repair or replacement?
A repair can make sense when the roof system is otherwise serviceable and the failure is localized. Repeated leaks, widespread membrane failure, poor drainage or an aging assembly can make replacement the better long-term scope.
What affects cost?
- Roof size and number of existing layers
- Condition of the deck/substrate
- Parapets, penetrations, drains and flashing details
