As Ohio transitions through its diverse seasons, each brings its unique challenges to the structural integrity and performance of commercial roofing. At EP Commercial Roofing, we understand these challenges intimately and are dedicated to ensuring that your commercial roofing systems withstand Ohio’s varied climate conditions throughout the year.
Understanding the Impact of Ohio's Climate on Your Commercial Roof
Our state experiences a wide range of weather conditions, from scorching summers to frigid winters. These extremes can take a toll on commercial roofs, causing materials to expand, contract, and deteriorate. It’s crucial to address these challenges proactively to maintain the integrity and functionality of your roofing systems.
Spring and Summer: Proactive Preparation
Spring in Ohio often brings thunderstorms and heavy rainfall, making it essential to prepare your commercial roofs against potential water damage. At EP Commercial Roofing, we emphasize the importance of early inspections during this season to identify and remedy minor damages like leaks or compromised flashing before they escalate.
As summer approaches, protecting your roof from UV radiation and excessive heat becomes paramount. We recommend the application of reflective coatings, which protect your roof from UV damage and help reduce cooling costs by reflecting heat away from your building. This maintains a cooler building environment and alleviates strain on your HVAC systems.
Fall: Essential Maintenance
Fall is the perfect time to prepare your roof for the upcoming winter. Essential maintenance includes cleaning gutters and downspouts to ensure proper water drainage and checking the roof’s insulation. We, at EP Commercial Roofing, also suggest evaluating the need for additional insulation to enhance your building’s energy efficiency during the colder months.
Winter: Continuous Vigilance
Winter in Ohio can be particularly harsh with heavy snowfalls that risk structural damage due to the weight of snow and ice accumulation. We provide essential snow removal services to prevent excessive buildup that could lead to structural concerns, such as roof collapses. Additionally, our emergency repair services are always ready to address issues like ice dams, which can cause significant water damage if not handled promptly.

At EP Commercial Roofing, we are committed to employing the latest in roofing technology and materials that are specifically designed to endure the climatic extremes of Ohio.
