Our Oakland Roofing Contractors Explain

A new commercial roof does more than just protect your property for years to come: It also provides a direct boost to the property’s value. In this post, you’ll learn some of the ways roof replacement projects, including those performed by our San Francisco roofing company, can make your building worth more.

Increased Visual Appeal

Our company has undertaken many San Francisco commercial roofing projects that improved the appearance of the building undergoing the work. The difference between an old, dilapidated roof and a new one in good shape is stark—and potential buyers will notice, helping drive up the price.

Increased Energy Efficiency

Increased energy efficiency is another benefit of a new commercial roofing system. That’s because they tend to be better sealed and made of more efficient materials. That translates to lower utility bills and less work for the HVAC system, which can be a benefit to you as long as you own or manage the building. Additionally, energy-efficient roofing materials can be a great selling point if the time comes to look for a buyer.

Avoidance of Repairs

While we often recommend Bay Area commercial roofing repair services to our clients, in some cases, repairs are no longer the best option. When a roof is severely damaged or is nearing the end of its natural life span, a total replacement may be the best move. In the short term, a new roof will cut down on the number of repair projects you have to invest in. And down the road, a new roof can really add to your asking price: Buyers will be comforted by the fact that the property has a relatively new roof. Additionally, the warranties that come with many new roofs provide long-lasting financial protection.

Protection of the Rest of the Building

Anyone who’s ever dealt with a leaking roof knows that a problem with the roof of a building can cause issues for the rest of the structure. That’s why a commercial roof replacement benefits the entirety of your property: A new roof gives fresh, enhanced protection to the structure, including from wind, rain, snow, and hail. That, in turn, will help keep your property value high.
