The Benefits of Metal Retrofit Roofing
JBK Roofing offers two types of retrofit metal roofing services in Tennessee and Kentucky. We can retrofit your existing metal roof with a durable new metal roof or a single-ply PVC membrane system. Depending on which option meets your needs, costly tear-off and business interruption may be greatly reduced resulting in significant cost savings.
Here are just some of the many benefits of metal retrofit roofing systems:
- Durable: Metal roofs can withstand fire, wind, and snow, and they are less susceptible to mildew, rot, and insects.
- Energy-efficient: Single-ply PVC membrane systems are highly reflective for an energy-saving roof that will last for decades.
- Low-weight: Single-ply and metal retrofit squares weigh several hundred pounds less than tiles or shingles.
- Cost-effective: Retrofitting is often less disruptive and less expensive than a full replacement.
Additionally, a retrofit can modernize the look of your building, improving curb appeal and potentially increasing property value.
Signs Your Roof Needs Retrofitting
There are several ways that you can tell your roof is ready for a retrofit:
- The existing roofing material is degrading
- You see leaks or water damage
- There is visible corrosion and rust
- Your energy bills go up
- Extreme weather has damaged your roof
The Metal Roof Retrofit Process
- After the initial inspection and assessment, we’ll outlay the appropriate materials and methods for you to approve.
- Then, we’ll complete the main roof installation and integrate it with your building’s HVAC or electrical systems.
- We’ll seal and waterproof any joints, edges, skylights, and vents and perform a comprehensive quality check and inspection to ensure we’ve met all of your specifications.
Materials Used for Metal Roof Retrofitting
There are two distinct categories of metal roofs, both ideal candidates for retrofit metal roofing services in Kentucky and Tennessee. Concealed fastener metal roofs have a seamless appearance and increased durability. The downside is expense, but the long-term benefits considerably outweigh the cost. Exposed fastener metal roofs have fasteners that are visible on the surface. They are generally less expensive than concealed systems, but they ultimately require more maintenance.
We can retrofit with metal panels or single-ply PVC membranes:
- Primarily high-quality galvanized steel with a lifespan of 40 to 70 years
- Highly resistant to weathering and impact
- Suited only for steep slope roofing due to being a water shed, not a water proof assembly
- Often have higher material and labor costs
- Variety of finishes that mimic tiles, shakes, or slats
- Made from polyvinyl chloride plastic with a lifespan of 20 to 30 years
- Excellent waterproofing capabilities
- Ideal for flat or low-sloped roofs
- Lower initial investment
- Utilitarian aesthetic in white, gray, and tan colors
