    Common Roofing Challenges for Churches

    Church roofing systems pose unique problems, such as:

    Ornate Roofing Structures

    Many churches feature intricate roof designs with steep slopes, dormers, and ornamental features. These designs often involve multiple intersecting planes and angles. If improperly sealed, these joints can leak, causing damage to the interior of the church.

    Weathering and Aging

    Church roofs are often constructed with traditional materials, such as slate, clay tiles, or wooden shingles, which can deteriorate when exposed to the elements. Regular inspections and maintenance are essential to prolonging the lifespan of these historic roofing materials.

    Limited Accessibility

    Most conventional roof designs are relatively easy to access using standard equipment. Comparatively, churches with towering spires and steeples often require specialized scaffolding, cranes, or aerial lifts for inspections and repairs. This can make it difficult to keep up with routine roof maintenance.

    Inadequate Drainage

    Due to their elaborate designs, church roofs can face challenges in effectively draining rainwater off the structure. Poor drainage can lead to water pooling on the roof, which increases the risk of leaks, structural damage, and deterioration of roofing materials over time.

    Commercial Roofing Material Options

    • Built-Up Roofing: Ideal for low-slope roofs, built-up roofing is made of layers of bitumen and reinforcing materials like fiberglass or polyester.
