What Do Commercial Roofers in Cape May County, NJ Do?

Cape May County is a unique mix of coastal and inland communities with a variety of architectural types. Regardless of where you are, you need a commercial roof that can stand up to the environment. Bayside communities, for example, need coastal-grade materials designed to withstand salt air corrosion, heavy winds, and seasonal temperature swings. Meanwhile, flat or low-slope roofs on warehouses, retail spaces, and municipal buildings further inland require UV- and moisture-resistance.

So how can commercial roofers in Cape May County like RGB Construction help your roof last longer? Here’s a look:

Commercial Roof Repair Services in Cape May County, NJ

Flat, low-slope, or sloped, no roof is impervious to wear and tear. Unless your roof was just installed today, you need to make sure that no damages are becoming major issues over time. Even small cracks in your flashing or a puncture in a membrane can lead to water intrusion. If you’re located near the bay or coast, it’s all the more important to have your roof inspected for any of the following issues:

• Standing water, also known as ponding, points to roof damage if the water is there for 48 hours or longer
• Bubbling, blistering, or cracked membranes (with TPO, EPDM, or Mod Bit), or missing granules on shingles
• Damaged flashing or seals around vents, HVAC units, and skylights
• Water stains and leaks in the interior
• Clogged or damaged drainage systems
• Uneven or sagging roof sections
• Surface wear (bald sections or exposed fibers) or granule loss on built-up or coated roofing
• Unusually high energy bills

Any of these issues can lead to damage and repairs. Don’t wait. By calling commercial roofers in Cape May County and asking for estimates, you can stop roof issues from spreading and save yourself time and money.

Commercial Roof Installation Process

1. Assessment and Planning: A roofing contractor evaluates your building’s slope and existing condition then will recommend the best roofing material for the climate and your budget and energy goals.
2. Preparation and Tear-Off:The current roof will need to be removed, and other incompatible or aged sections will need to be repaired or replaced, as well. We may suggest a recover if codes allow.
3. Deck and Substrate Inspection: Our team will check the current roof deck for rot and other damages prior to replacing your roof.
4. Insulation Installation: Prior to the reroofing, we install rigid insulation boards to improve energy efficiency and create a stable roof surface.
5. Moisture Barriers and Underlayment: A vapor barrier or protective underlayment may be applied to prevent condensation and moisture damage.
6. Roof System Installation: The roof installation process depends on the materials you’re using. Single-ply membranes are rolled out and fastened, adhered, or ballasted by our commercial roofing team. For built-up roofs (BUR) or modified bitumen, layers of asphalt and fabric or sheets are applied. Lastly, metal roofing is installed in large panels with fasteners and sealants.
7. Flashing and Drainage: To ensure your roof is watertight, HVAC units, skylights, drains, and other penetrations are fitted with flashing.
8. Final Inspection: The roofing contractor performs a quality check to confirm proper installation.
