FAQs about Commercial Roof Replacement in Mill Valley Ca
What are the signs that my commercial roof needs to be replaced?
There are several signs that indicate your commercial roof may need replacement. Look for noticeable leaks, extensive damage or wear, sagging areas, or age-related deterioration. Roofing materials typically have a lifespan and if your roof is over 20 years old, it may be time to consider replacement. Moreover, if the cost of repairs approaches 50% of the replacement cost, it’s often more economical to invest in a new roof.
How long does a commercial roof replacement take?
The duration of a commercial roof replacement can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the building, the type of roofing material being used, and the weather conditions. Generally, a small commercial roof might take a few days, while larger projects can take several weeks. At Mill Valley Roofing, we provide an estimate of the timeline before we begin work so you can plan accordingly.

Will I need to vacate my building during the roof replacement?
