2024 Metal Roof of the Year

Thu, 20 Feb 2025 09:57:09 GMT

DURO-LAST® 2024 METAL ROOFING AWARD

Clement Elementary School
Location: Autryville, North Carolina

Square Feet: 15,000 membrane & 52,000 standing seam

Products: Duro-Tuff® 50 mil blue and white membrane, Duro-Guard® ISO crickets, SECUROCK® ½" Cover Board, custom stack flashings, EXCEPTIONAL® HT Underlayment, EXCEPTIONAL Metals LokSeam® Standing Seam Metal Panels, EXCEPTIONAL Metals 7.2 Insulated Metal Wall Panels, 2-Piece Snap-On Compression

For the flat portions of the roof, the existing assembly was removed down to the insulation, leaving two layers of 1.5-inch ISO. New tapered Duro-Guard ISO crickets were installed to ensure proper drainage before adding SECUROCK half-inch cover board and fully adhered Duro-Tuff 50 mil white membrane. The standing seam portion added another layer of complexity. First, B&M Roofing applied to the deck EXCEPTIONAL HT Underlayment before installing the EM LokSeam® panels. While some panels were shipped in by truck, many of the panels were roll-formed on-site and crane lifted to the roof because of their length, ensuring a custom fit and preventing the need for mid-panel seams.

During the metal panel installation, the B&M Roofing team found that several skylights were in much worse condition than initially thought. To address this, B&M reinforced the skylights by installing hat channels and two layers of 3/4-inch plywood before covering them with ice and water shield and Duro-Tuff 50 mil blue membrane.

The award was presented January 20, 2025, during the Duro-Last Roofing National Sales Seminar.

Common Commercial Roof Repairs

Common Commercial Roof Repairs

Commercial roof maintenance can be a pain to take care of because the roofs of businesses are typically larger than residential roofs. Our commercial roofing contractors want to be the team you call to take care of anything that has to do with your roof. Here are some common issues that require commercial roof repairs to look out for throughout the year.

Holes or leaks in the roof – Our commercial roofing contractors have experience patching up holes and fixing leaking roofs, but sometimes leaks require more than commercial roof repairs. Sometimes leaks will lead to a roof replacement because there are too many spots in the roof that are leaking and the cost to do all the repairs would be the same as the cost of a new roof. Although our commercial roofing contractors would suggest a new roof in this situation, it is still up to the business owner to decide whether they want their roof repaired or replaced.

Any green plants or moss growing on your roof – It may not seem like a big deal to have moss or other plants growing on small pieces of your roof, but you should remove it immediately to prevent it from spreading to the whole roof. Moss growth usually leads to having holes in your roof because as the moss grows it loosens up the shingles, which allows water to seep through. Contact our commercial roofing contractors if you are experiencing issues with moss growth on your roof.

Cracks or missing shingles – Having a few missing shingles on your roof is not uncommon, especially in North Carolina where storms with strong winds happen often. However, missing shingles require attention sooner rather than later to avoid more issues later, such as a leaky roof. Our commercial roofing contractors are ready to come and replace your missing shingles for a very reasonable price, so call them today.

Contact our team with any questions about our commercial roof maintenance services or to schedule an appointment. Our commercial roof repair services are available in Wilmington, Fayetteville, Raleigh, Greenville, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and Jacksonville, NC. We also offer services to parts of Virginia and South Carolina.

How Often You Should Perform Roof Maintenance

How Often You Should Perform Roof Maintenance

As a business owner, you want your property and assets within the building to always be protected. Your roof plays an important role in the protection of your property. It keeps out the elements and seals the envelope of your building. In doing this, it is subject to a lot of abuse over the years. This can compromise the integrity of your roof, especially when minor concerns are left unchecked for a long time. That is why you need to perform maintenance regularly on your roof. This will minimize damage and save you money on commercial roof repairs. So, how often should you perform maintenance?

It is recommended that you schedule a roof inspection every six months and have any damage repaired. Planning and scheduling your inspections in advance will help ensure that your roof maintenance does not get overshadowed by your daily business activities and other concerns. Beyond the routine inspections, there are other reasons to have your roof inspected and roof repairs performed. After a storm system has passed, it is always a good idea to have your roof inspected. Storms can be particularly challenging to roofs as they can bring hail, strong winds, heavy rains, and freezing temperatures. So, you should have your roof inspected after any major storm that passes through.

Summer isn’t too far away and if you want to save energy—and money—then reflective cool roofs are the way to go. You can save energy with a cool roof in all climates. Building owners across the US in both hot and cold climates are subject to peak energy demand charges, which can represent 30 to 70 percent of a total commercial user’s electric bill. Reflective cool roofs are an efficient strategy to reduce peak demand power usage and result in net energy savings.

Reflective Cool Roofs

A cool roof can benefit a building and its occupants by:

Reducing energy bills by decreasing air conditioning needs
Improving indoor comfort for spaces that are not air conditioned, such as garages or covered patios
Decreasing roof temperature, which may extend roof service life.

Check out this video from the Department of Energy:

Reflective Cool Roofs Reduce Energy Costs

Consider the Best Long-term Solution

Keep in mind initial cost vs. life cycle cost. In most cases, the lowest cost option appears to be the most attractive, but not always the best long-term solution. Lower cost options tend to have shorter life cycles and increased maintenance costs resulting in replacements that are more frequent and unexpected out-of-pocket expenses. They typically offer the least amount of sustainability value as well. Re-roofing can easily cost 2-3 times that of a well-designed system and maintenance program on the front end. Consider the life cycle costing for a greater ROI.

Be Proactive and Not Reactive

Another best practice to save money in the long rung is Proactive versus reactive maintenance. Being proactive is key to extending the life of your roofing system. Owners and facility managers who react to problems as they occur, pay an average of 25¢ per square foot annually for maintenance. Owners and facility managers who inspect and repair routinely (proactively) – before problems happen – spend an average of only 14¢ per square foot annually. Plus, proactively maintained roofs last an average of 21 years compared to an average lifespan of 13 years for reactive maintenance. The longer you can extend your roof’s life before replacement, the more your overall savings increase, and your life cycle costs decrease.
