BC Exteriors, a veteran-owned roofing company with decades of industry experience, is offering insights on how businesses can protect their roofs from increasingly severe weather challenges. As storms and temperature swings become more frequent, commercial roofs are at a greater risk of damage, making proactive care more critical than ever.

According to recent data, 33% of property owners replace their roofs due to leaks, while another 33% do so following a storm damage. This percentage is likely to increase for businesses that fail to take preventive measures.

Flat roofs, common on commercial properties, are particularly prone to water-related damage. Poor drainage often leads to ponding water, which gradually weakens a roof’s structural integrity. Flat roofs are also exposed to long periods of direct sunlight, accelerating wear and tear.

Asphalt roofs, another popular roofing choice for commercial buildings, face different but equally challenging concerns. High winds, which have grown more frequent in many regions, can dislodge shingles, leaving portions of the roofs exposed to water infiltration. UV exposure can also lead to granule loss. Overtime, repeated exposure to temperature fluctuations causes asphalt shingles to expand and contract, leading to cracking and weakening the roof’s ability to withstand weather-related stress.

BC Exteriors emphasizes that proactive maintenance and timely inspections are key to mitigating these risks and extending the lifespan of commercial roofs.

Regular inspections, especially after significant weather events, allow property owners to spot early signs of damage and address them before they escalate into more severe issues. Catching these vulnerabilities early can help businesses avoid the extensive repairs, water damage, insulation failures, or even complete roof replacements.

In addition to routine inspections, the quality of material used is equally important. Weather-resistant materials can handle temperature extremes and provide better protection against water infiltration. For flat roofs, improving drainage systems and using reinforced membranes can significantly reduce the risks associated with ponding water and sun exposure. For asphalt roofs, stronger shingles that resist high winds and UV rays offer better protection against weather-related damage.

BC Exteriors provides comprehensive solutions designed to withstand the growing challenges posed by extreme weather. Their approach combines expert guidance with hands-on service, working with property owners to develop tailored maintenance plans focused on long-term protection. These plans ensure commercial roofs are regularly inspected, repaired, and fortified using premium materials – equipping businesses with the best solutions to protect their properties from Southeast Michigan’s unpredictable weather.
