Q: What factors determine the cost of a new roof for my business or building?
A: The cost of a commercial roofing project is influenced by several factors including the size of the building, the type of roofing material required, the accessibility of the roof, the presence of any specialized equipment, and the complexity of the installation. Estimates for commercial roofs typically range from $3 to $15 per square foot. Our team will conduct a thorough evaluation and provide you with a customized estimate that takes all these variables into account.
Q: How long does a roof restoration last compared to a new roof?

A new roof, however, can last 20-30 years or more, depending on the type of materials used. Both options provide a strong return on investment, but the longevity of each will depend on factors such as weather conditions and regular maintenance.
