Did You Know? The weight of your roofing material plays a critical role in the structural integrity of your building! Heavier materials, like concrete or slate, require stronger support systems, while lighter materials, such as metal or single-ply membranes, can reduce stress on the building’s framework. Choosing the right roofing material isn’t just about aesthetics or cost—it’s about ensuring your building remains safe and structurally sound for years to come. That’s why it’s essential to consult with roofing experts who understand the balance between weight, durability, and performance. Need advice on selecting the right roofing materials for your property?

As winter approaches and snowflakes begin to fall, it’s essential to understand how to retrofit a metal roof, especially in regions with high snow loads.❄️ Unlike designs for high wind areas, which focus on negative load capacities, snow load considerations hinge on the positive strength values of the new roof panels. Key design considerations include... 1. Load Panel Capacities 2. Load Calculations 3. Roof Hugger Advantages (increased strength, reduced purlin spacing, drag load resistance, panel upgrades, elimination of roof steps, and enhanced insulation) To assess your specific project needs, reach out to us at sales@roofhugger.com. #roofing #roofingretrofit #metalroofing #metalroof #metalroofingretrofits #newroof #commercialroofing #roofretrofitting #roofhugger

Why Retrofit? Metal roofs have been documented to perform well and have a long service life. However, when an existing metal roof does reach the end of its service life, or is experiencing problems, it can either be repaired, reroofed, or retrofitted. Retrofitting (aka recovering) has many advantages over reroofing, including: • Original roof provides temporary building interior protection during new roof installation • Allows for building operations to continue • Reduces landfill waste • Reuses existing insulation and possibly add more insulation over existing roof • Provides a safer work surface than exposed existing secondary structural members • Reduced cost #roofingretrofit #metalovermetalroofing #metalroofing #metalovermetalretrofits #commercialroofing #newroof #metalroofingfacts #roofretrofit #roofhugger

🔍 The Hidden Costs of Overlooking Walkways and Service Pads in Roof Systems 🏠 Recently, I was called to investigate a leak in a closed cell foam with coating roof system. What I discovered underscores a critical lesson in roof maintenance and design: the significant impact of having proper walkways and service pads. Here’s what I found: 1. Multiple Lacerations and Punctures: I identified seven different lacerations or punctures on the roof. Two of these were directly within the natural footpath leading to and from the access point. The other five were clustered within 18 inches of a rooftop unit. 2. Common Causes: -Dropped Fastener: One puncture was caused by a fastener that had been dropped and stepped on. -Tool Punctures: Three were from tools or equipment being mishandled. -Access Panel Impact: One laceration appeared to result from an access panel hitting the roof, creating a razor-thin cut. 3. Unexpected Consequences: Although these issues were relatively close together on the surface, the damage penetrated through multiple layers—foam, BUR, ISO, and wood deck. The result was a compromised area much larger than the initial 8-foot circle, resembling damage that could have spanned 20-50 feet. Key Takeaway: If walkways and service pads had been integrated into the design of this roof system, it’s highly likely that I wouldn’t have been called out at all. These features are not just for convenience—they are essential for protecting your roof and preventing costly repairs. They ensure safe, designated paths for maintenance activities, reducing the risk of damage. Investing in proper infrastructure for roof maintenance can save you from extensive repairs and unexpected costs. Let’s prioritize safety and efficiency by integrating walkways and service pads into our roof designs. #RoofingSolutions #FacilityManagement #MaintenanceMatters #SafetyFirst #RomanRoofingInc #PreventativeMaintenance #RoofingDesign #RooftopMaintenance #BuildingManagement #InfrastructureInvestment #Florida
