Building Upgrades With Deerfield IL Commercial Roofing And Siding Contractor

By Darcy Selvidge


Upgrading the exterior of commercial structures enhances their appearance and protects them from the full impact of weather elements. A Deerfield IL commercial roofing and siding company offers a variety of options to update not only roofing and siding, but also windows, gutters, fascias, and soffits.

Customers can select from several types of roofing systems. For low-slope roofing, single-ply membranes can be obtained as thermoplastic or thermoset. Polymer-modified bitumen sheet membranes are also available. Steep-slope roofing can be upgraded with traditional asphalt shingles or architectural-style laminated asphalt fiberglass shingles.

Contractors often have several different style choices. There are multiple color options in the galvanized S-tiles used on steep metal roofs. Heavyweight asphalt fiberglass shingles, wood shakes, and other synthetic products are also available.

Customers also have many options in exterior facades. In North America, the most common choice is vinyl.

Inexpensive and requiring virtually no maintenance, it can fade somewhat with time. Modern developments, however, allow vinyl siding to retain much of its original color.

Fiber cement has the ability to mimic the textures of wood shakes, shingles, stucco, and much more. Varying by manufacturer, it may have as much as a fifty year warranty. This material offers many benefits such as being more durable than timber, water and termite resistance, and non-combustibility.

Wood siding, however, can last longer than synthetic materials if it is properly maintained. It is available in several styles, including clapboard, shakes, shingles, shiplap, log cabin, novelty, and traditional, among others. Engineered wood or hardwood comes in sheets or individual boards. Created with wood by-products, the uniform, textured-grain surface does not quite resemble real wood, but looks more natural than aluminum or vinyl.

Recognized as a durable alternative to wood in the building boom that followed World War II, aluminum endures as a natural siding choice.

Although many improvements such as stronger enamels and finishes have been made to aluminum products, it is losing popularity to vinyl. Reinforced structures like those with agricultural or utilitarian purposes, are largely done with steel. Metal tends to last a long time, is resistant to weather, and affordable.

Engineered stone and simulated brick both add a stylishly authentic look to the facade at an affordable price.

With a durable finish that is four times thicker than paint, fiberglass siding is one of the most recent structure-protection innovations. Resembling wood, it's highly damage-resistant.

There are many things to consider when choosing which materials to use on the roof and exterior of a building. These include factors like the product's ability to withstand regional weather conditions, as well as the ease of repair or replacement if the system is damaged.

It is recommended that they select materials that are easy to install. Cost and maintenance requirements should also be evaluated. Of course, the roofing and siding should complement the architectural style of the building. Deerfield IL commercial roofing and siding professionals can advise commercial property owners to help them decide on the best roofing and siding system for them and provide the necessary upgrades.
