Denver’s Premier Commercial Roofing Repair and Replacement Contractors

Commercial Hail Damage Insurance Experts

Many Denver roofing companies say theyare “insurance experts” or they “specialize” in hail damage, and
perhaps they can handle some claims. But commercial roof insurance claims are a whole different
animal. It is often a long, drawn-out process with the insurance companies hoping that you eventually give
up and take what they give you. At CSR, we are highly professional but firm in our approach to insurance
companies. Our goal is to get you everything you’re entitled to when you have a hail damage commercial
roof claim. That’s why you pay premiums, right?

At Colorado Superior Roofing & Construction, all our project managers have extensive commercial
insurance experience, and we even have former insurance adjusters on staff to help with your claim. So,
after a storm, call us first! Our initial inspections are always FREE. We will send someone out promptly (usually within 24 hours) to perform a thorough roof inspection. If we find that your roof was damaged by hail, wind, or any other insurable cause, we will relay that information to you, and the decision on whether to file a claim will rest solely with you.

Our Denver Commercial roofing crews and roof project managers have assisted hundreds of commercial building owners with their roof and exterior damage insurance claims. If your commercial roof was damaged by hail, wind, or any other insurable cause, the pros at CSR are the people to call.

Complete and Professional Denver Commercial Roofers

Complete Exteriors Company. At CSR, we’re more than just exceptional commercial roofers. We also do gutters, siding, painting, and windows. We have the expertise to manage all of the exterior storm damage to your building. So, there’s no need to deal with the hassle of managing several different contractors when faced with hail damage or wind damage from a storm. Our staff, which includes former insurance adjusters, will work directly with your insurance company to handle everything. We’ll make sure that your commercial insurance claim and your repairs are as quick and hassle-free as possible.

At CSR, we focus on meeting our customer’s specific needs. That’s why, in addition to providing top-quality commercial roofing products and excellent customer service, we always try to apply creative and innovative solutions to problems.

Commercial Roof Repair Experts

One area in which CSR has always excelled is in delivering fast, cost-effective commercial roof repairs that are done right the first time! That’s why we do what few other Denver commercial roofing companies do, and we guarantee/warrant our commercial roof repairs. Why would you pay for your commercial roof leak to be repaired unless you are comfortable that it was done right?

That’s also why we provide industry-leading roof warranties on our commercial roofs and commercial roofing projects. When we put a new roof on a business, warehouse, apartment building, or church, we build it to last. We wouldn’t tolerate anything less. Considering the industry-leading warranties we provide, it’s in our best interest to use only the best products
and the top roofing crews.

Denver Commercial Roof Options

In Denver, there are many commercial roofing options available. As a commercial roofing contractor, people always ask us things like: What’s the best roofing material for flat roofs? What type of commercial roof lasts the longest? What flat roof system is the most cost-effective? If there was a simple answer to those questions, there wouldn’t be so many options! They each have their own benefits in different situations, as we will discuss below.

Commercial Pitched / Sloped Roofs

Metal Roofs

Metal roofs have long been a great option for companies that want to enhance the look of their building and have a durable product that reduces costs and maintenance. Metal roofs provide many advantages. They are fire-resistant, which can save you money on insurance costs in addition to the safety aspects. A metal roof also offers great energy efficiency that can reduce your heating and cooling costs. Metal roofing is quite durable as well. It typically lasts about three times as long as regular asphalt shingles. Another feature that is especially important in Denver is that metal roofs are highly resistant to hail damage. There are multiple types of metal roofs, but the most common type you’ll see in Denver is the standing seam metal roof.

Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingles are the most common roof type for pitched (i.e., sloped roofs). These are what you see when you drive by most houses or apartment complexes. They are highly versatile and can be cut to fit almost any shaped roof. They also come in a large variety of designs and colors. In addition, they are among your least expensive options, and unless they get damaged by hail, they will usually last 15-20 years in Denver.

Tile Roofs

Tile roofs come in many different forms. There is clay tile, concrete tile, synthetic tile, metal tile, and more. The one you see most often in the Denver area is clay tile, known as Spanish tile. It’s often red, though it comes in a multitude of colors. Tile roofs are like metal roofs in that they are chosen mainly for the aesthetic look they bring. Also, they both cost quite a lot more than asphalt shingles, but they last a lot longer and are much more resistant to hail and wind damage. One very important note about most types of tile, they are heavy. So, if you are going to go from a lighter roof like metal, asphalt shingles, or wood shake to tile, you will need to have an engineer’s report done to make sure your roof structure can handle that extra weight.

“Working with Colorado Superior Roofing was an extremely positive experience from beginning to end. I highly recommend them”

Commercial Flat Roofs

TPO Roofing System

A TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) roof system is like EPDM in that it comes in large rolls and is attached to the roof as either fully adhered or mechanically fastened. TPO is made of durable, high-quality plastic material, which is naturally resistant to chemical damage and weakening due to ultraviolet exposure. Also, like EPDM, TPO roofing membranes are 100% recyclable and can qualify your building for Energy Tax Credits.

TPO is typically installed in white color. So, it is highly reflective and is more likely to qualify under the Denver “cool” roof ordinance than EPDM. TPO is also a little easier to maintain than EPDM. The warranty and life expectancy for both products are very similar.

EPDM Roofing System

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber roofing has consistently been a top choice
for commercial flat roofs in Denver. It comes in large rolls, much like carpeting, and is rolled
onto a flat roof. The material is essentially recycled tires. It’s attached to the roof by either
gluing it down (fully adhered) or screwing it down with small metal plates (mechanically
fastened).

EPDM is durable, waterproof, and typically lasts for about 20 years. The black rubber
single-ply membrane is designed to absorb sunlight. During the winter, it effectively melts
snow and keeps it from causing leaks. EPDM also reduces heating costs in the cold Denver
winters, thanks to its heat-absorbing properties. Although normally installed in a black color, it
can now be installed in a variety of colors.

Since EPDM rubber roofing is made from recyclable materials, it can also qualify your building for Energy Tax Credits. With its superior elasticity and other properties, it’s an especially good fit for restaurants and any high-traffic roofs.

Modified Bitumen Roofing

Modified bitumen is an asphalt-based roofing material, available in single, double, or multi-ply layer options. For flat roofs, it is a cheaper alternative than TPO, EPDM, or PVC. It is often used on high-traffic rooftops that need a durable system at a low cost. It has good waterproofing characteristics and will not become brittle in cold weather or shift in hot weather. The life cycle is not as long as some of the other flat roof materials mentioned here. It’s also more susceptible to hail damage than the other commercial roofing options mentioned above.

Fluid Applied Roofing Systems

Fluid applied systems (or roof coatings) have become extremely popular for flat roofs in Denver in the past decade. The four primary types of coatings are epoxy, acrylic, asphaltic emulsion, and silicon. But it’s the recent advances in the silicon coating systems such as Gaco and the increased warranty levels that have made them the go-to alternative to a full roof replacement.

A fluid-applied silicon roof cures into a finished product that is much like TPO. It is both
highly elastic and reflective. You can install it right on top of an existing roof, such as a TPO
or EPDM, and you can get the same 20-year warranty you’d get for TPO or EPDM. You can even avoid the messy, noisy, and expensive tear-off of the old system. Since a coating is considered maintenance rather than a new system, you can also avoid the requirement of bringing the building up to code. This is especially important in Denver and other cities that have passed “green roof” or “cool roof” ordinances.

Fluid applied coatings are not just limited to low slope roofs. They can be applied to virtually any roofing system, including standing seam metal.

PVC Flat Roofing

A PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) commercial roofing system is another thermoplastic roof like TPO. And just like EPDM and TPO, it comes in rolls and is adhered to the roof in the same way. PVC features durable seams which are incredibly resistant to punctures, oils, and other damaging elements. PVC typically has low maintenance costs and extreme durability, so it is quite popular in many areas of the country.

However, PVC tends to be a little more rigid than TPO or EPDM. For that reason, some commercial roofers do not believe it is as good of a fit for Denver’s extreme temperature changes.

Commercial Roof Warranties

After the installation of a new roof, most Denver commercial roofing contractors will give you a workmanship warranty to guard against any defects in the installation of the roof. These will often range from 3 to 10 years. At CSR, we give ten-year or lifetime workmanship warranties depending on the material and other job specifics. In addition, you will get a material warranty from the manufacturer for the roofing product itself. These warranties can be for up to 20 years.

Commercial Roof Preservation

As mentioned above, most commercial roof warranties can extend up to 20 years. However, many of them require annual roof maintenance to keep the warranty valid. Also, some issues, such as damage caused by HVAC contractors, storms, or wild animals, won’t be covered by the warranty. To maintain a commercial flat roof and extend its life, you will need to do some simple things such as an annual cleaning, removal of debris, and inspections following severe storms or HVAC work.

With decades of commercial roofing experience, the experts at Colorado Superior Roofing & Construction are your source for any new commercial roof installation or repair. Feel free to give us a call if you’d like a free inspection or analysis.

Denver Commercial Roof Maintenance Programs

The purpose of a good commercial roof maintenance checklist is to make sure that your flat roof doesn’t suffer the same fate as most of the others in Denver. A surprising majority of commercial flat roofs in Colorado, over 80%, wind up being replaced early due to neglect and failure to maintain and extend the life of the roof system. New commercial flat roofs in Denver usually cost thousands of dollars more than what repairs, maintenance, and/or roof restoration would.

Commercial roof maintenance programs are fairly inexpensive, tax-deductible, and typically cost less than one percent per year of estimated total replacement costs. Compared to replacing your roof every 15-20 years, a commercial flat roof maintenance program can save you up to 50% over the life of a 30-year roof.

Most top-tier Denver commercial roofing companies offer maintenance programs, but you don’t necessarily need to hire a commercial roof contractor to perform this work. If you are a building owner or a property management company with an onsite maintenance person, he or she can often perform these functions.

10 Checklist Items For Your Commercial Flat Roof

Below is our recommended Denver Commercial Flat Roof Maintenance Checklist to help ensure that you don’t overlook any of the elements of your roof that require inspection. Your completed checklist can likewise serve as proof of proper maintenance should you need to submit an insurance or warranty claim for your flat roof.

Here are the steps we recommend taking to get the most value and the least trouble from your flat roof system in Colorado. This is a quarterly checklist. If everything is fine on your roof, this checklist really won’t take more than an hour or two, depending on the size of your roof.

1. Interior Signs of Roof Leaks

Examine your building’s interior for signs of water damage such as mold and mildew, water stains, and peeling paint. This will alert you to look for possible entry points for water on the roof above. But please note that water can travel sideways through building downpipes or framing. The causes of the damage may not be directly above the ceiling damage.

2. Dirt & Debris on Roof Surface

Check for dirt and debris on the roof surface. This can clog drains and cause roofing surfaces to rot or decay prematurely. Check for fallen tree limbs that can damage flat roof membranes and have tree maintenance scheduled regularly as well. It is a good idea to power wash the roof at least once per year. This will not only prolong roof life but will also increase the reflectivity of the roof (depending on the system you have) and save on energy costs.

3. Sagging or Damaged Membranes

Check the surface area or field of the roof, especially for low spots with standing water on flat roofs. Denver commercial roofing contractors see firsthand that roofs at altitudes are susceptible to extreme damages. Sun and drastic temperature changes can cause weathering, blistering, and cracking on flat roofs. During your inspection, also look for abrasions or deep scratches and tears or holes in the membrane. Although we don’t see this on Denver commercial roofs very often, it is not unheard of to find fungus or moss growing where water has been allowed to collect and stagnate over time. If you find any on your roof, be sure to remove it and allow that area to thoroughly dry out.

4. Expansion Joints

Of all flat roof components, the expansion joints are where leaks most often occur. This is especially true for Denver flat roofs because of the strong UV radiation and the temperature extremes they endure. So be sure to inspect them thoroughly for cuts, gaps, and tears. If any such damage is found, be sure to seal the area with a high-quality sealant.

5. Flashings & Caulking

Inspect the flashings, roof edges, terminations, and control joints. If you have flashings installed, make sure they are not pulling away from the roof or leaving gaps, as this may indicate the presence of leaks or serious damage to your commercial flat roof membrane. Check all caulking around penetrations to make sure it is not drying out.

6. Roof Drainage

Inspect all drains, scuppers, and gutters, for debris or backed-up water. Also, look for debris, watermarks, and mold, all of which lead to clogged drains. Pay immediate attention to deteriorated or damaged flashings and seals.

7. Exterior Structural Components

List chimneys, vents, pipes, skylights, and equipment separately on your commercial roof checklist. Look for signs of aging such as peeling paint, rust, rot, and moss or fungus, as well as structural damage like bent elements, missing parts, and sagging pipes.

8. Pipe and Equipment Support

Check that there are no sagging pipes or cracks in the base of the support. Nor should there be any deflected hangers or supports digging into the flat roof membrane. These are signs of failing supports and will require replacement/repair soon from a qualified Denver commercial roofing contractor.

9. Transport Elements

Stairs, crossovers, platforms, and railings must be checked for structural soundness, loose parts, and surface deterioration. Damaged paint and missing or damaged elements such as rail posts and threads can cause an unsafe environment for flat roof repair contractors.

10. Document all Repairs

Each repair must be listed separately on your roof maintenance checklist so all future inspectors know what to look for.

Use your checklist to create a system to prioritize issues. A standard school grading system of A-F or even a good, fair, poor rating system is effective. For example, give a “good” rating to elements that need no attention beyond routine inspection. “Fair” elements will show some wear and may be scheduled for maintenance and/or inspection or can be marked for future replacement. Items in “poor” condition require immediate attention. The important thing is to have a written system in place. This ensures future employees or any commercial roof contractors you hire can understand what has been done and where things stand.

Decide ahead of time which issues to handle in-house and which you need to have addressed by a commercial roofing professional. Keep in mind that your checklist is an invaluable tool for the proper maintenance of your commercial roof. Understanding roofing costs can be difficult. When you know what to look for and are armed with the right questions, it is much easier to make the right choice. Many of these decisions will save you time and money in the end.
