Why single-ply is the roofing system of choice for many commercial roofing contractors

There are several different types of roofing systems that commercial contractors have to choose from. Roofing options such as asphalt, spray-on, built-up, and tar and gravel are increasingly being replaced by single-ply roofs.

There are many factors to take into consideration when selecting the best kind of roof to install. A few of these considerations include budget constraints, the construction of the overall building, the climate in the area, if there is currently a roofing system in place, and building code requirements.
