Commercial roofing systems are much different than
residential roofing systems. They are usually made or installed using different
materials and also different quality of materials. For instance, metal roofing
is installed on both residential and commercial buildings but the commercial
metal roofing is much different than the residential roofing materials. The
commercial is likely more rigid and made from a thicker metal. Commercial
buildings usually have a flat roof which means that water will likely be present
on the roofing system longer causing the fasteners to be made from more quality
material. For residential customers with homes that have pitched roofs this
isn’t a problem because the water exits almost immediately.
