What is the difference between commercial roofing and residential roofing? At CR3 American Exteriors, we do so much more than just residential roofing. In fact, we do a lot of commercial roofing as well. We started in Pennsylvania initially, and due to our high demand, we have since expanded into multiple different states as well. There is a reason that so many people choose us to work with. We are reliable and put our customers first. In Pennsylvania alone, we have worked on an abundance of projects, and our residential and commercial roofs can be found all over.
So, what is the difference between residential and commercial roofs? What can you expect when using us for a commercial project?
Residential roofs are typically much smaller than commercial ones. For this reason, they are made of very different materials. To start, commercial roofs are usually flat while residential roofs are often sloped or arched. Due to the size of commercial roofs, being flat makes them much more affordable and safer to install.
The materials vary greatly as well. While residential roofs have a variety of materials to choose from, commercial roofs are usually made up of one of two options: EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) and TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin). EPDM offers a rubberized membrane whereas TPO offers a vinyl option.
In addition, commercial roofs take longer due to their size. Since residential roofs often have much smaller surface areas, they are faster projects. This is another reason that having flat roofs is so helpful for commercial buildings. It quickens the process, whereas the materials used for residential roofing would take much more time on a project that size.
If you have an industrial or commercial roofing project, reach out to us and we will be more than happy to help. We can even offer free consultations. Whether you are in Pennsylvania or any of the other areas we service, we are here for you. Call us today!
