Spann Roofing supports all roofing needs. Some of the more popular roof types are
Built-up Roofs
A built-up roof (BUR) consists of multiple roof felts laminated together
with bitumen or adhesive. This type of roof is ideal for flat or low sloped
roofs. BUR systems have low flexibility and are only appropriate
on roof decks with minimal movement or where appropriate expansion joints
are provided. The typical lifespan is 10-20 years, depending on
weather conditions, foot traffic, and materials used. BUR systems
require periodic maintenance to maximize their service life.
Modified Bitumen
Modified Bitumen roofing is an asphalt-based system for low-slope roofs. Although it is related to Built-up Roofing, Modified Bitumen has increased resistance to brittleness at cold temperatures and greater flow resistance at high temperatures. Increased elasticity is achieved by blending synthetic rubberized polymers with asphalt in lieu of modification by the blowing process. This product is available in designer colors to match asphalt shingles.
Roof Coatings
Roof coatings are liquid applied, fully adhered
"rubber-like" protective membrane systems. Coating an older roof
with a white or light-colored protective system can reduce energy costs
by reflecting the sun's heat. This also reduces thermal shock and
helps prolong the life of your roof.
Shingles
Most roofs in North America use asphalt shingles as the roofing material
of choice. Shingles can be purchased in a variety of colors and
coatings. The benefits of shingle roofs include cost, low
maintenance, weather resilience, and easy installation. However,
the life of asphalt shingles is the lowest of all roofing materials.
The NRCA recommends use of shingles that comply with American Society
for testing and Materials (ASTM) standards: ASTM D 225 for organic
shingles and ASTM D 3462 for fiberglass shingles. Not all asphalt
shingles on the market comply with these standards; it is typically
noted on the manufacturer's product literature and on the package
wrapper.
Single Ply Roofs
Single Ply roofs are another flat-roof solution that uses rubber or
plastic membranes. Single ply roofing systems offer the advantages
of rapid installation and light-weight construction. These systems
provide high puncture and tear resistance, excellent dimensional
stability and high tensile strength. They affect suburb resistance to
ozone and UV exposure, extreme weather conditions, chemicals, and fire.
During installation, no heavy equipment is required.
Slate
Slate is often the roof of choice when longevity is especially
important. It is aesthetically pleasing and especially durable.
Properly installed, slate roofs require little maintenance and will last
60 to 125 years depending on the type of slate employed, roof
configuration and the geographical location of the property. Slate
is usually more expensive than other roofing types.
Standing Seam Metal Roofs
Metal roofs typically last the lifetime of the
house itself. Metal is resistant to fire (Class A rating), mildew,
insects, and rot, and now come in reflective colors that meet the Energy
Star ratings. The standing seam metal roof is one of the most
exciting breakthroughs in roofing technology in the last 25 years.
Standing seam metal roofs are light and come in a variety of colors.
It's durability, easy installation, and simple maintenance is why it is
used in around 50% of all low-rise commercial and industrial buildings
erected in the last several years.
Tile
Tile roofs, both clay and concrete, are one of the most appealing
alternatives to other roofing materials. Its color and design can
be tailored to almost any style home or building. Roof tile is
also fireproof and carries a class-A rating. Tile roofing is a
great insulator, which helps to keep homes warmer in winter and cooler in
summer. The biggest drawback to a tile roof is its initial
installation cost. When compared to asphalt shingles or even basic
metal roofing, tile roofs can cost several times as much to install.
Additionally, tile can be difficult to work on since the individual
tiles can break under the weight of a worker. Consideration to the weight of the tile must be reviewed by a structural engineer.
Spann Roofing also works with Customers on other Roofing Projects:
Custom Sheet Metal
Metal roofs, wall panels, soffits, copings,
gutters, downspouts, and custom architectural metal fabrication are
all created in Spann Roofing's metal work shop. All details must be
exact to ensure a fit that is both watertight and visually pleasing.
Spann Roofing can install double or single-lock panels, snap-lock panels
and snap-on batten panels, and with our portable roll-form machine,
almost any panel length can be achieved.
ENERGY STAR Roofs
ENERGY STAR qualified roof products reflect more
of the sun's rays. See the
ENERGY STAR website to see which roofs qualify.
Free Commercial Roof Inspections
At no charge, an experienced technician will
inspect and evaluate your facility's roof and identify existing or
potential problems. A complete written report with pictures,
deficiencies, and estimates for repair will be submitted. Written

Hurricane Response
Our hurricane response plan calls for the
immediate stockpiling of materials once hurricane warnings are issued.
Also, work crews are placed on standby notice and are ready to be
dispatched to the areas where they are needed. Supervisors
implement a rigorous equipment check to ensure that our infrastructure
is operating properly and can withstand use in less than ideal
conditions.
Spann Roofing's disaster response plan allows us the ability to function
and operate at full capacity under the most adverse conditions.
Green Roofs
Green roofs are vegetated roof covers with
growing media and plants taking the place of bare membrane, gravel
ballast, shingles or tiles. Green roofs can contribute to at least
6 LEED points.
LEED Compliant Roofing Systems
The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design) Green Building Rating System is a certification program
that verifies a building project is environmentally responsible,
profitable and a healthy place to live and work. It designates
that a building is truly "green."
A LEED compliant roofing system will use ENERGY STAR compliance (highly
reflective) materials or have a vegetated roof.
Our coatings are versatile and can be applied
over clean, dry, and mechanically sound substrates such as built-up,
modified bitumen, single ply, metal, and concrete roofs.
