Roof System Selection Guide

Every facility is unique, requiring careful consideration and a tailored approach to selecting a roof system. That's why we've designed our Roof System Selection Guide to help you compare attributes and determine which are most important to your facility.

Make an informed decision

Before selecting a particular roof system, you need to determine what specific criteria or unique conditions apply to your particular roof. This assessment should cover building code requirements, energy code adherence, fire, hail, and wind resistance, structural factors, drainage, insurance stipulations (FM Global or Global Risk Consultants), aesthetics, rooftop equipment (mechanical, electrical, solar, etc.), roof access and maintenance, facility-specific requirements, budget, and various other considerations – several are covered in this guide.

Understanding the criteria and factors that will cause the roof system to deteriorate will allow you to weigh the pros and cons of various systems to determine which selection is most appropriate, most “durable,” and the “best” option for your facility.

Roof evaluation

Benchmark meticulously evaluates existing roof systems to pinpoint defects, assess damage severity, and forecast future performance implications. Rather than jumping to roof replacement, we explore practical avenues to extend the roof asset's lifespan through targeted repairs and maintenance. Following our assessment, clients receive a detailed report outlining the roof's history, composition and condition, complemented by comprehensive roof plans and vivid photographs for enhanced clarity and understanding.

Roof design and bid services

Benchmark’s expertise and experience streamline the decision-making process for clients considering roof systems and aiding with contractor choices. Our approach prioritizes objective design parameters, free from influence by manufacturer or contractor affiliations.

We follow applicable building codes and insurance requirements and consider facility-specific design criteria to maximize the performance of the roof system without compromising cost-effectiveness.

Learn more about our design and bid services.


Construction phase services

When considering the cost of planning, design, materials and the labor that goes into a roofing project, having Benchmark make sure the project is constructed correctly, safely, and as specified is one of the best investments our clients ever make. On-site roof quality assurance is essential for the successful execution of a construction project.

Benchmark currently has 20 Registered Roof Observers (RRO) and 5 Registered Roof Consultants (RRC) on staff. Our consultants boast extensive experience and receive ongoing training across a spectrum of roof systems, encompassing single-ply, built-up roofing (BUR), modified bitumen, polyurethane foam, standing seam metal and steep slope systems.

Learn more about our construction phase services.


UAV drone services

When you work with Benchmark, you’ll work with an experienced team who know how to not only pilot a drone but most importantly, know what to look for and capture in flight. That technical expertise, coupled with our traditional “boots on the ground” approach results in more detailed data and improved accuracy to make informed decisions about the roof assets.
