Raising Your Commercial Property Value with Diversified Services
If you own or manage a commercial property, you know how important it is to maintain its value and attractiveness. Whether you want to sell, lease, or rent your property, you need to ensure that it meets the standards and expectations of potential buyers, tenants, or customers. One of the most crucial aspects of your property that can affect its value is the roofing.
Roofs are more than aesthetic additions to a building; they provide functional protection from weather, fire, pests and other hazards. A quality roof can increase energy efficiency, lifespan and performance for your property while an improper or damaged one could result in costly repairs, increased utility bills, decreased property values and decreased tenant satisfaction.

The Benefits of Quality Roofing for Commercial Properties
Investing in roofing can increase your commercial property value, but that’s not the only benefit a new or retro-fit roof comes with:
- Energy efficiency: A quality roof can help you save money on your heating and cooling costs by reducing heat loss and gain, improving insulation, and reflecting solar radiation. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, roofing can account for up to 25% of the total energy consumption of a building. By choosing a roofing material and system that suits your climate and building type, you can optimize your energy efficiency and lower your carbon footprint.
- Lifespan: Industry leading roofs typically outlive and require less maintenance than their low-grade or outdated counterparts, usually lasting anywhere from 15-50 years depending on material, installation method and maintenance needs. By selecting durable roofing material and system to increase longevity and avoid premature replacement costs!
- Asset protection: A quality roof can protect your property and its contents from damage caused by water, wind, fire, hail, snow, ice, and other elements. A leaky or defective roof can result in structural damage, mold growth and electrical hazards – leading to costly repairs and losses that will need expensive replacement costs and losses to cover. By choosing waterproof and fireproof materials in the form of modern membrane roofs such as those offered by Owens Corning you can protect both yourself and your belongings.
- Curb appeal: Don’t forget to look up! Your roof can enhance the appearance and attractiveness of your property, which can influence the perception and decision of potential buyers, tenants, or customers. A well-designed and well-maintained roof can create a positive impression and convey a sense of professionalism, quality, and value.
The Factors that Affect the ROI of Quality Roofing
The return on investment (ROI) of quality roofing is the ratio of the benefits you gain from your roofing to the costs you incur for your roofing. The higher the ROI, the more value you get from your roofing! The ROI can vary depending on several factors, such as:
- The costs of installation and maintenance
- The energy savings
- The increased property value
- The longevity and reduced repairs
- The tenant retention benefits
