To Restore or Replace? How to Make the Call
Sponsored by ICP Building Solutions Group | Presented by John Walker
Webinar On-Demand
Commercial roof restoration can be an effective, economical and sustainable option to bring a roof back to its full potential, in instances when a full tear-off is not feasible or not warranted. We’ll help you determine if restoration is right for your next project including a review of what to look for and how to conduct a proper roof evaluation when it comes to restoration. We’ll discuss some considerations after your initial findings like ‘when will this project take place, what other projects are in the queue for your business and are there any plans to expand the building in the future.’ Lastly, we’ll talk about specific steps to proper and lasting roof restoration. In today's environment, a building structure that lasts indicates true sustainability and roof coatings and restoration practices can help extend the life of a building, but may not be a fit for all structures. This course allows you to make the right determination.
