Below we are going to demonstrate  two identical buildings that need roof replacement.  The owner of Building 1 chooses a low cost roofing solution, but a roof that will require a higher level of maintenance and more frequent repairs. The owner of Building 2 chooses a roofing system with a slightly higher initial price, but one with lower repair and maintenance costs.  The second roof is also more energy efficient.  Which owner made the best investment of the life of the roof system?

 (costs vary slightly depending on which type of white PVC roofing system used) Building 1 Building 2
  Roof System Cost   $70,000 $88,000
  Installation (labor + overhead) $60,000 $45,000
  Tear-Off and Disposal Costs $12,500 $0
  Estimated Maintenance Costs (over 20 years.) $5,000 $1,500
  Estimated Repair Costs (over 20 years.) $7,750 $0
  Estimated Energy Savings (over 20 years) $0 ($84,000)
  Estimated Life-Cycle Costs $155,250 $50,500

In the example above, the owner of Building 2 made a better investment decision, even though the initial cost to install the roof was higher.  Of course, additional factors may affect life-cycle costs for your building, including energy rates, interest rates, tax savings, potential energy rebates and incentives, and lost productivity due to business disruption.  This  demonstrated that  a white PVC membrane gives you a better opportunity to save money.
