Old flat roof keeps leaking after multiple repairs?
For commercial buildings in Hyde Park, OH, there's a better way than another patch.
You own or manage a commercial building in Hyde Park. The flat roof is around 30 years old. You've patched it three times in two years. Water still finds a way in. Now you're worried about inventory, equipment, or tenant complaints.
Repeated leaks on an old flat roof usually mean the membrane has failed. Patching a worn-out roof is like putting a bandage on a cracked tire. Water gets trapped under the surface, rots the insulation, and causes more leaks. You need to know if the roof is worth saving.
A full tear-off and replacement on a commercial flat roof in Hyde Park typically costs between $8 and $15 per square foot. The size of the roof, the condition of the deck, and the type of new membrane affect the price. A roof that size can take one to two weeks. A silicone restoration coating is cheaper, but only works if the insulation is still dry.
This week, get a core sample. A contractor cuts a small plug from the roof to check if the insulation is wet. If it is, stop paying for patches. You're throwing money away. TruRoof can do this inspection for you. We'll tell you honestly if a repair makes sense or if you need a new roof.
Once the roof is replaced or restored, you won't have to think about it for 20 years or more. No more buckets in the hallway. No more emergency calls every storm. Your building stays dry, your tenants stay happy, and your insurance claims go away.
What people in Hyde Park say
"I'm reviewing my two new roofs, on my house and my garage, installed by TruRoof. The company, and Damon Chuke, their representative, helped me work with the insurance company, and with understanding all the details of the whole process. They took out an obsolete chimney, were on time and professional, and the finished roofs and flashing are beautiful. Many compliments from neighbors. Highly recommended by me."
"We have a beautiful condo in a historic building from the 1840s. Late November had a bad leak in the dining room area. I called Britt at TruRoof who came out and inspected the entire roof of the building. He said to do the entire roof could be around $50,000. But then he started laughing and said you need to caulk the area around one of the chimneys. I thought he was nuts, but I did the caulking, which cost me about 25 bucks worth of outdoor caulk, and there are no more leaks. I cannot express my appreciation for his diligence and his honesty. That kind of a company and a person is rare these days. Highly, highly, highly recommend these guys."
"TruRoof did an outstanding job from start to finish. Communication leading up to the start date was great. Once on site and the project started, everything went as discussed, and the crew was very professional."
Other things people in Hyde Park ask
can you reroof over an existing flat roof
A recover works when there is one roof layer and dry insulation. A core sample tells us in an hour.
how much does a commercial roof cost
We price by square footage, system and insulation and give you a written proposal you can put in front of the board.
TPO vs EPDM flat roof
TPO is white and reflects heat, which helps cooling costs in summer. EPDM is black rubber and handles ponding water well. For most Cincinnati commercial buildings, TPO is the default choice. Get a roof assessment to match the membrane to your roof's slope and drainage.
roof coating vs replacement flat roof
Coatings work when the roof is still structurally sound and the membrane is intact. If there are multiple leaks, ponding, or wet insulation underneath, a coating won't fix it. Get a moisture scan and a core sample before deciding.
