When it comes to roofing, there is a world of difference between the residential and commercial variety. The concepts that work for one may not necessarily work for the other. As the area’s most reputable roofing contractor, allow us to explain the differences between the two.

Designs

Perhaps the biggest difference between residential and commercial roofing lies in their design. On one hand, commercial roofs are almost always flat. And even if they feature a slope, it’s usually just a slight elevation difference. This is because flat or nearly flat roofs are easier to build on large structures.

Residential roofing, on the other hand, is often sloped more steeply. This makes designs less limited. Also, the slope serves a functional purpose of not bearing too much weight on the home’s foundation.

Material

The truth is that most roofing materials are applicable for both commercial and residential purposes. Asphalt, for example, is common in both types of roofing. What separates them are factors like budget, weather conditions, and maintenance requirements. As buildings require much more in terms of strength, it’s common for roofers to use special materials, such as modified bitumen or ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM).

Repairs

As commercial and residential roofing differs in material and design, the repair procedure for each of them is different. Roofers who specialize in one type may not have the tools, knowledge, and experience to deal with the other. There are, of course, exceptions to the rule, as some superior companies can handle both.
