Put simply, converted garages in Commerce are a common source of leaks because the roof covering was never upgraded with the conversion. Nearly all roofs in Commerce fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. We see it on Commerce roofs every week. Roof age across Commerce clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other.

7Understanding Your Commerce Estimate

Realistically, manufacturer certification matters on Commerce jobs since it is what makes the material warranty enforceable.
