Q: Can I raise the roof of my industrial building?

A. Yes, it will cost between $15 and $20 per square feet.

However, it depends by how much you need to raise the roof. If it is up to four to six feet, it is all right. If you want more, as for example, go from 12’ to 24’ there will be more serious points to consider:

– All the columns will be too weak and will need to be reinforced.

– Lighting fixtures, heating units will need to be replaced, or new ones added, including piping and wiring.

– Additional shipping doors will probably be required.
