Your commercial roof works hard protecting your property, inventory, equipment, and employees from the elements year-round. But unlike other parts of your building, roof issues aren’t always obvious until they’ve already caused damage. At Associated Roofing, we help Massachusetts business owners stay ahead of roofing problems with proactive inspections and repairs.
Here are five signs your commercial roof might need repair and why now is the time to take action.
Working on coastal historic buildings requires careful planning and execution to preserve architectural integrity and historical significance. The process requires knowledge of the right materials to use, where to source them, expert installation, and an understanding of historic preservation standards. Each of our projects has presented unique challenges; all of them brought great satisfaction.
Here are our top five considerations when undertaking a historical restoration project.
1. WATER STAINS OR LEAKS INSIDE THE BUILDING
If you notice ceiling stains, drips, or interior water damage, your roof is likely compromised. Even a small leak can lead to major structural problems or mold growth if ignored.
Don’t wait until the next storm. Call Associated Roofing at (781) 734-6636 or contact us online to schedule a professional inspection.
2. BLISTERING OR BUBBLING ON THE ROOF SURFACE
Flat or low-slope commercial roofs often show signs of damage in the form of blisters, bubbles, or warping. This usually means trapped moisture, which can quickly lead to membrane failure.
Our expert team at Associated Roofing can assess your roof and recommend the best course of action whether that’s a localized repair or a full resurfacing. Reach out today: www.associatedroofing.com/contact
3. POOLING WATER AFTER RAIN
Standing water that doesn’t drain within 48 hours can accelerate roof deterioration. It may indicate poor drainage, sagging areas, or clogged rooftop systems.
We offer comprehensive commercial roof inspections in Braintree and beyond. Contact Associated Roofing at (781) 848-4222 or use our quick online form to request service.
4. VISIBLE DAMAGE TO FLASHING OR EDGES
Flashing helps seal your roof around vents, HVAC units, skylights, and edges all common problem areas. If you see peeling, rusting, or separation around these components, your roof is vulnerable.
Our licensed team knows what to look for and how to prevent small problems from turning into expensive repairs. Give us a call at (781) 848-4222 or schedule a free consultation.
5. YOUR ROOF IS OVER 15 YEARS OLD
Even if there are no visible problems yet, age alone can be a warning sign. Most commercial roofing systems have a lifespan of 15–25 years, depending on material and maintenance. If your roof is reaching that age, now is the time to have it evaluated.
