If you saw some older factories and office buildings in old photographs, you probably noticed the attractive sloped roofing they had on top. Flat roofs were not always the norm when it comes to commercial roofing, and in some places they still aren’t. For mainly practical and financial reasons, flat roofs have become the roofing installations of choice for many people, and that has never been more true than today. However, if you do want your Colorado buildings to look appealing and unusually old fashioned, you can still consider a sloped commercial roof.

Steeper roofs are considered more appealing. However, because commercial buildings tend to be larger and companies want to save money, they’ll often opt for cheaper solutions such as a flat metal panel roof or an EPDM membrane roof that is much easier to install. Also, the larger the roof and the steeper the slope, the more likely it is that the installation process will require staging and the labor costs will be more expensive.

Flat roofing is therefore, pretty much the norm in Colorado and in many other places where commercial roofers have a lot of work to do installing large and complex roofing systems. In a lot of cases, you’ll find that a sloped roof is simply too much trouble and too expensive, although the best commercial contractors will never back up from a good challenge, and may still offer you an affordable quote from TSV Construction and Roofing for a steep slope commercial roofing system.
