Comprehensive roof restoration renews aging commercial systems at substantial savings compared to complete replacement. Bob’s Custom Roofing provides professional restoration throughout Tucson, combining repairs, coating, and improvements that extend roof life 10-15 years. Our systematic restoration approach helps property owners maximize existing roof investments while delaying major capital expenditures.
Restoration addresses multiple issues simultaneously rather than patchwork repairs. This comprehensive strategy creates systems that perform reliably for years to come. Property managers appreciate restoration economics, which typically costs 40-60 percent of replacement and delivers substantial additional service life.
Strategic restoration timing captures maximum value from existing roofs. Systems that show age but retain structural integrity prove ideal candidates. We assess candidacy honestly, explaining when restoration makes financial sense versus when replacement becomes necessary.

Roof Restoration Versus Replacement Economics
Understanding the financial comparison helps property owners make informed decisions. Restoration delivers significant cost savings when applied to appropriate roofs, but attempting restoration on failed systems wastes money that could be better invested in replacement.
Restoration typically costs $3-6 per square foot, depending on scope. Complete replacement runs $8-15 per square foot for similar systems. On a 20,000 square foot commercial building, restoration might cost $80,000 versus $200,000 for replacement. These savings prove substantial for property budgets.
Time value matters in restoration economics. Delaying replacement 10-12 years through restoration allows capital deployment elsewhere. Investment returns on saved funds often exceed a simple project cost comparison. Property managers operating multiple buildings particularly appreciate this financial flexibility.

Comprehensive Restoration Components
Effective restoration combines multiple elements, creating renewed systems. This integrated approach addresses aging comprehensively rather than focusing narrowly on single issues.
All existing damage requires proper repair before restoration proceeds. Blisters get cut out and patched. Seams showing separation need resealing. Punctures and tears receive appropriate repairs. This foundation work ensures that coating and protective layers are applied over a sound substrate.
Surface cleaning removes contaminants, preventing proper adhesion. Power washing eliminates dirt, biological growth, and loose material. Chemical treatments address stubborn residues. Surfaces must be immaculate and dry before restoration continues.
Restoration provides an opportunity for drainage enhancement. Ponding water areas get addressed through tapered insulation additions, creating a positive slope. Drains and scuppers receive inspection and repair. Proper drainage proves essential for restored roof longevity.
Overflow provisions get verified to meet current code requirements. Many older roofs lack adequate emergency drainage. Restoration projects bring systems to current standards, preventing the water accumulation that damages roofs during intense Tucson monsoons.
Equipment penetrations, parapet walls, and roof edges receive systematic flashing attention. Deteriorated components get replaced. Marginal flashings get reinforced. This comprehensive approach prevents the localized failures that undermine otherwise successful restorations.
New equipment curbs replace rotted wood and damaged metal. Properly fabricated and installed curbs provide decades of reliable service. Parapet counterflashing gets replaced when existing installations show separation or deterioration.
Final coating application completes restoration, providing UV protection and waterproofing. Elastomeric, silicone, or aluminum coatings are selected based on roof type and performance requirements. Multiple coat application builds the specified thickness, ensuring adequate protection.
Cool roof coatings incorporated during restoration deliver energy benefits alongside roof renewal. Reflective systems reduce cooling costs throughout coating life. This dual benefit substantially improves restoration return on investment.
Systematic project management ensures quality results with minimal business disruption. Commercial restoration requires coordination, balancing construction needs with ongoing operations.
Large commercial roofs sometimes get restored in planned phases. This approach manages budgets while maintaining building protection. Critical areas receive attention first. Remaining sections follow in subsequent phases. Phasing allows property managers to spread costs across budget periods.
Occupied buildings benefit from phased work, minimizing disruption. Businesses operate in unaffected areas while restoration proceeds systematically. This strategy extends project duration but maintains revenue generation throughout restoration.

Restoration success demands careful execution at every stage. We implement systematic quality verification, ensuring each component meets specifications before subsequent work proceeds.
Moisture surveys get repeated after suspect areas receive attention. This verification confirms proper moisture elimination before sealing systems. Core samples test insulation dryness and deck integrity. Failed areas get addressed until testing confirms adequacy.
Coating thickness measurements ensure proper film build. Mil gauges verify adequate coating application. Thin areas receive additional material achieving specified thickness. This attention prevents premature coating failure from inadequate coverage.
