How long does a commercial roof system last?

The lifespan of your commercial roof depends on a number of factors, from the type of roofing material to the weather conditions in the area, and more.

Average Lifespans for Common Commercial Roof Systems:

• Built-up: 10 - 15 years
• Single-ply membrane (TPO): 15 - 20 years
• Single-ply membrane (EPDM): 20 - 25 years
• Metal: 30 - 45 years
• Spray polyurethane foam: 30 - 50 years

How should I handle emergency commercial roof leaks?

If you discover that your commercial roof is leaking, your first priority should be protecting your structure and its contents from further damage as much as possible. Once the inside of your property is protected, call a professional commercial roofing contractor immediately.

If the contractor who installed your roof or maintains it has an emergency contact number, contact them right away. If they don’t have emergencies, you can contact them as soon as possible the next business day or reach out to a contractor who can handle emergency roof repairs on commercial roofs.
