For publicly funded projects, Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal frequently participates in formal bid processes, which typically include bid/surety bonds, professionally prepared bid forms, legal documents, and public bid openings for entities such as township, county, city, and state governments. Kalkreuth has substantial bonding capacity due to our size and firm foothold in the industry.
Kalkreuth has extensive experience conducting inspections and providing consulting services for privately funded projects. Kalkreuth prides itself on meeting with each customer to determine goals for their building, and we work with our customers to achieve the desired results. The roof replacement process typically involves budgeting for funding, core analysis, professional measuring, and consulting for appropriate roofing systems and material selection. We can also advise the customer on proper asbestos testing services and offer professional and personal recommendations for decking replacement, interior protection, and scheduling to minimize interruptions.
We offer a full range of solutions from full replacement to retrofit. Depending on roof conditions and project-specific recommendations, we provide a range of options from tear-off to overlays. If your inspection reveals a lesser need, we also provide roof repairs and renewals when a complete re-roof is not required immediately.
If only repairs and maintenance are recommended, we offer the RoofSaver program, which is recommended for any roofing project.
PREPARATION BEFORE THE STORM
Our RoofSaver Preventative Maintenance program is the only way to prepare your roof for the next disaster. With a RoofSaver agreement, your roof will take priority in an emergency situation, backed by our 24/7 commercial roofing service so help arrives the moment you need it.
Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Replacement
What Happens When a Commercial Roof Is Replaced?
A commercial roof replacement starts well before the first crew climbs onto the roof. The process begins with an inspection and core analysis. Next comes professional measuring, along with a budget that fits your funding source. From there, our team recommends roofing systems and materials that suit your building and your goals.
Before tear-off begins, we can advise on asbestos testing and make recommendations on decking replacement. We also plan interior protection and set a schedule that keeps disruptions to your operations as low as possible.
Which Roofing Systems Suit Flat Commercial Buildings?
A commercial flat roof replacement usually centers on the membrane. Common options include TPO, EPDM, PVC/KEE, modified bitumen and built-up roofing. The first few are single-ply membranes, while modified bitumen and built-up systems are multi-ply.
Roof conditions decide the scope of the work. Some projects call for a full tear-off down to the deck. Others are good candidates for an overlay or retrofit over the existing system.
Is a Full Roof Replacement Always Necessary?
Some aging roofs can stay in place for a while longer. If an inspection shows a lesser need, a repair or renewal can extend the life of the current system until a re-roof makes sense. When the damage runs deeper or the system has reached the end of its service life, a commercial new roof is often the more practical path.
