When it comes to durable and cost-effective commercial roofing solutions in Michigan, Fabric Reinforced Roofing stands out as a superior choice. At Empire Contractors, we specialize in installing high-performance fabric reinforced systems that enhance roof longevity, improve energy efficiency, and reduce long-term maintenance costs for business owners across Michigan.
Understanding Fabric Reinforced Roofing
Fabric reinforced roofing is a hybrid system that combines a seamless elastomeric coating with a strong, flexible fabric embedded between layers. This combination creates a highly durable, weather-resistant surface that protects your existing roof while extending its life. It is ideal for commercial low-slope roofs in Michigan’s demanding climate.
Key Benefits
Enhanced Durability and Longevity
The reinforced fabric adds tensile strength to the roofing membrane, allowing it to withstand thermal expansion, heavy rain, hail, and high winds. This is especially important in Michigan, where extreme temperature swings and snow loads can shorten the life of traditional roofing systems. Fabric reinforced roofs often last 20 years or more, with the option to recoat and extend their lifespan further.
Cost-Efficient Roofing Solution
One of the biggest advantages is cost savings. Fabric reinforced systems are applied directly over your existing roof, eliminating the need for a costly tear-off. With lower labor and material costs and fewer disruptions to your operations, Michigan business owners see a faster return on investment. Reduced maintenance and energy savings further enhance the system’s cost-effectiveness over time.
Improved Energy Performance
Empire Contractors installs fabric reinforced roofs with reflective coatings that lower rooftop temperatures and reduce your building’s cooling load in summer months. This contributes to lower utility bills and a more comfortable indoor environment, which is crucial for commercial properties seeking improved energy efficiency in Michigan’s variable climate.
Seamless Waterproof Protection
The seamless application of the coating and embedded fabric eliminates vulnerable seams and fasteners where leaks often begin. This creates a watertight barrier that resists ponding water and protects against water infiltration—key to avoiding costly interior damage and mold issues.
Industry-Leading Warranties
Empire Contractors stands behind our work with strong manufacturer-backed warranties—often up to 20 years—on fabric reinforced roofing systems. Our Michigan clients gain peace of mind knowing their investment is protected with proven performance and support.
