Commercial Roof Replacement
Tear Off the Old Roof or Recover Over It?
Moisture in the old roof and the number of existing layers decide between them. Confirm recover limits with the permit office.
| Factor | Tear-Off | Recover |
|---|---|---|
| Wet insulation | Removed and replaced | Must be cut out first |
| Deck inspection | Full view of the deck | Spot checks only |
| Existing layers | Resets to zero | Limited by code and roof weight |
| Debris and noise | Higher | Lower |
| Drain and edge heights | Reset to the new roof | Raised with added layers |
Replacement Planning
How Ashland Commercial Roofing Replacements Are Planned
Planning starts with a roof survey. The findings decide between repair, recover, tear-off, and new metal.
Inspect Your Roof
The survey records the membrane or panels, core samples, drains, scuppers, edge metal, and every curb and penetration.
Map the Moisture
Core cuts and a moisture survey show wet insulation and how many roofs sit on the deck.
Set the System
The roof system, insulation plan, and taper are chosen from the findings.
Phase the Work
Sections are scheduled so the building stays open, with access for cranes, dumpsters, and staging.
Close It Out
Seams, drains, and edges are checked and the finished roof is photographed.
Replacement Questions
Commercial Roof Replacement Answers for Ashland
More answers are on the commercial roofing FAQ.
Moisture
How do you find wet insulation under an old membrane?
Infrared scans at dusk, capacitance or impedance meters on a grid, core cuts, and soft spots underfoot all point to wet boards. A roof can look fine and still hide them.
Core samples also count the roofs stacked on the deck.
Taper
When does a replacement need tapered insulation?
When ponding stays more than a couple of days, dirt rings mark low spots, drains sit high, or water traps behind curbs. Replacement is the time to add it, since the old roof is already off.
Edges
What happens to drains, scuppers, and edge metal?
They are replaced or reset at the new roof height and sealed to the new membrane: new drain bodies or inserts, rebuilt scuppers, edge metal on wood nailers, and overflows where drains lack a backup.
Staying Dry
How does the building stay dry during tear-off?
The crew removes only what it can rebuild and seal that workday, checks the forecast first, and ties every open edge to the old roof with a night seal. Plastic inside protects stock below.
Layers
What layers make up a commercial roof system?
From the deck up: an optional vapor retarder, polyiso insulation, taper or crickets for slope, cover board, membrane, then flashing and edge metal. Most leaks start where membrane meets a curb or edge.
Tear-Off Cost
What adds cost during a tear-off?
Hidden conditions: rusted deck flutes, rotted nailers, large wet areas, stacked old roofs, and broken drains. Unit prices for deck and nailer work are agreed before tear-off starts.
Taxes
Can a commercial roof replacement qualify for Section 179?
It can. IRS Publication 946 lists roofs on nonresidential buildings among qualified improvements. For tax years beginning in 2026 the limit is $2,560,000. Keep itemized invoices and talk with your CPA.
