Roof replacement projects are one of the inevitable costs associated with owning a building. Everybody acknowledges and accepts the need and costs of roof renewal, since the roof is fundamental to one of a building’s basic functions—it provides shelter. However, the inevitability of roof replacement should not lead to a casual attitude. Appropriate assessment of the existing roof, managing the timing of repairs versus replacement, the selection of new roof components, and proper detailing can all have a profound impact on long-term performance as well as operations and maintenance costs.
RDH can assist you with all aspects of a roof replacement project:
- Assessment of current condition and repair/replacement needs.
- Preparation of drawings and specifications so that the work may be tendered and a building permit obtained.
- Tendering of the project to prequalified contractors and assistance in accepting the appropriate bid.
- Field review of construction.
- Preparation of maintenance manual for the new roof.
As with every renewals project, there are options that need to be considered. It is rarely a matter of simply replacing the current system with a similar new system. There are opportunities for energy upgrades, appearance upgrades, and performance longevity trade-offs with cost. RDH’s energy modeling expertise, architectural qualifications, and construction expertise make us an ideal choice to help you with the variety of options that are available for your roof renewals project.
