Commercial roofing contractors Auckland East Tamaki Penrose

Whether it is a residential or commercial property, one of the biggest investments you’ll make when building will be the roof. The quality of the roofing product, along with how well the product is installed will determine whether the roof will last a several years or several decades – so it’s best to not be frugal when it comes to choosing what roofing company you hire to undertake the work. Skimming on how much you spend on your roof can result in extra time, money and effort required in the near future – so it’s best to get it done right and properly the first time around.

Choosing what Auckland roofing contractor you decide to go with will depend on a variety of things. First of all, do you require roofing services for a residential or commercial property? While residential roofs can be supplied and installed by hundreds of roofing companies around New Zealand, commercial roofs generally require a larger team of roofers, and therefore it’s ideal to find a roofing company that specialises in the supply and installation of commercial or industrial roofs.

Secondly, do you require a new roof to be installed onto a building-in-progress? Or do you need a roof replacement for an existing roof (which may be damaged or simply past its due date)? While some roofing contractors specialise in installing new roofs onto properties which are being built from scratch, other roofing contractors specialise in reroofing services – replacing existing roofs with a higher quality product.

Your roofing contractor is likely to recommend metal roofing products for your new or existing property, as there are a number of benefits that you can gain from choosing this type of material. If a metal roofing product is installed properly, you can expect it to last the same amount of time as the house. Other advantages include saving up to 40% on cooling costs (as the metal reflects solar heat), it does not rot or crack, increases property value and is fire resistant.

For those of you who currently own metal roofs, but are looking to protect their investment further, consider how you can benefit from having your roof coated and treated. Metal roof coatings involve treating the roof with a special type of butynol or liquid membrane, which will prevent any problems from occurring in the future, such as leaks. Treating your roof can dramatically reduce the risk of needing a roof replacement – and this can potentially save you thousands of dollars in the future.

If you are still unable to decide on a roofing contractor based off this information, there are a number of other factors that you can consider…

How much experience does your roofing contractor have? Naturally, you’ll want someone who is highly experienced in their field, so that you can have peace of mind that not only their installation services are of high quality, but the information about the products and maintenance are high quality also.

Does the roofing company provide workmanship, as well as product guarantees? It’s a given that your roofing product will come with its own manufacturer’s guarantee, but it’s also important that the workmanship comes with some sort of warranty also. This is because you’ll want to have some sort of reassurance that any problems that you find with the installation of the roof will be fixed promptly and free of charge.
