At Green Roof Specialist, we always take a critical look at the roofing material before installing a green roof. This is because it is extremely important that the roofing is in good condition before installing a green roof on it.

Well begun, half done; even with a green roof

After about fifteen to twenty years, a roofing system is due for renewal, according to the manufacturer. Many people don’t think about replacing roofing until there is a leak, so in some cases a roofing membrane will definitely last longer than the stated fifteen to twenty years.

Do you want to install a green roof and your roofing is not yet leaking but is between fifteen and twenty years old? If so, it is a wise decision to replace the roofing before installing a green roof.

You thus provide a good carpet pad that is highly resistant to the future. The green roof protects the roofing layer from weather and temperature fluctuations, making the roofing last up to three times as long.

Therefore, for most people, it is a logical time to invest in new roofing at the time a green roof is installed.
