As you consider what the right course of action might be to increase the lifespan of your commercial rubber roofing system, there are a lot of important considerations that have to be remembered. A rubber roof is generally one of the sturdiest and most practical flat roofs out there, and the good news is that there are actually high quality coating products that can increase their life.

A regular EPDM roof will likely resist for about 40-45 years. Depending on how you treat it and what maintenance tasks you conduct on a regular basis, that number can grow. Depending on how much precipitation and how many powerful storms might hit your area on a yearly basis, the lifespan can further decline without any proper preventive care.

What you need to do to increase the life of your roof is consult TSV Construction and Roofing to ask about the upgrades and coatings you should add. This initiative alone, done right after the roof was installed, can significantly increase the practical life of your roof by up to 5-10 years in some cases. Additionally, with preventive repairs and maintenance, your roof can live much longer. If, for example, your roofers spot some minor damage during a regular roof inspection, it’s better not to ignore it, and to take care of it right away. If you take that approach on a regular basis, your rubber roof will be blessed with a much longer life.
