Signs That Suggest Commercial Roof Replacement Is Needed
Investing in roof replacement can be more cost-effective compared to frequent repairs, but how do you know when it's time to replace a commercial roof?
Here are some major signs that suggest the need for a replacement:
- Water Damage: Stains or puddles of water are clear indicators that the roof needs attention and that attention may include going with a new roof.
- Reduced Gutter Activity: Improperly functioning gutters during heavy rains could indicate clogging due to roof water absorption, leading to further problems down the line.
- Material Problems: Visible material degradation or loose materials on the roof can be a sign that the current roof has reached its limit and needs a replacement.
- Sagging Roof: A noticeably sagging roof is a clear indication that the roof needs replacement to ensure safety and functionality.
- Bubbling Roof: The formation of bubbles when air and moisture get underneath indicate deeper problems that need to be addressed ASAP.
Our Eastern Iowa commercial roofing pros can advise on both the signs of replacement and the best path to pursue with a new installation. We offer same-day service and free estimates.

The Value of a New Commercial Roof
We’re business owners ourselves, and we know that money going out has to be justified by a return value coming in.
A high-quality, new commercial roof offers several ways a business owner can see a return on investment:
- Lower energy bills: A new and better roof will likely be more energy-efficient than the old one. The reason is that a roof in good condition keeps the air produced by the HVAC system inside the office space. The system doesn’t have to work quite as hard to keep the building cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The possibility of lower energy costs presents business owners with an immediate way to start recouping some of their investment.
- Increased curb appeal: If there’s any thought of selling the building, it has to look nice from the outside, to attract new prospects in to take a look at it. A sharp, aesthetically pleasing new roof is a big part of the first impression a prospect forms.
- Enhanced long-term property value: Once the prospect is in the door and considering putting in an offer, the fact the roof has just been replaced is certainly attractive to any buyer. It’s well possible the increase in property value could more than finance the new roof by itself.
- Liability: The signs of roof problems noted above have consequences that could expose a business owner to liability. The possibility of the roof falling in is the most dramatic and obvious example, but there are others that are more subtle. Leaks and water damage result in mold growth, which in turn leads to indoor air that’s difficult to breathe. An employee that has or develops respiratory problems may be able to trace their health issues to their work environment. Which puts liability at the owner’s feet.
