Roof systems

## Choose the roof assembly after the building is understood.

We compare roof systems against Ohio freeze-thaw movement, drainage, rooftop equipment, foot traffic, warranty requirements, and budget timing.

Single-ply systems

### TPO, EPDM, and PVC decisions.

Single-ply recommendations depend on seams, membrane age, reflectivity, chemical exposure, foot traffic, and warranty expectations.

Asphalt and multi-ply

### Built-up and modified bitumen assemblies.

Asphalt-based roofs need deck, surfacing, drainage, flashing, and recover potential checked before repair or replacement.

Restoration paths

### Coatings, cool roofs, and foam systems.

Restoration only makes sense when wet insulation, adhesion, drainage, and existing membrane condition support it.

Special assemblies

### Metal and ballasted roof conditions.

Metal and ballasted systems require focused review of movement, fasteners, ballast load, drainage, edge conditions, and penetrations.
