Dissecting Our Comprehensive Commercial Roofing Services
Our comprehensive commercial roofing services cover every aspect of your roofing needs, from initial assessment and installation to ongoing maintenance and repairs. We have the expertise and resources to handle projects of any size and complexity, ensuring your roof is performing at its best.
Expert Commercial Roof Installation
A properly installed roof is the foundation of long-term performance and protection. Our experienced team specializes in the installation of various commercial roofing systems, including:
TPO Roofing Systems
Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is a single-ply roofing membrane known for its durability, energy efficiency, and resistance to weather elements. TPO roofing systems are an excellent choice for buildings seeking energy efficiency. Reflecting sunlight and reducing heat buildup, TPO roofing helps lower cooling costs, making it an environmentally friendly and cost-effective option for flat or low-sloped roofs.
EPDM Roofing Systems
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) is a durable, rubber roofing membrane that offers excellent resistance to weathering, ozone, and UV radiation. Ideal for low-slope applications, EPDM roofing provides long-term protection with minimal maintenance. Its flexibility and resilience make it a popular choice for commercial buildings, ensuring a watertight seal and lasting performance.
Modified Bitumen Roofing Systems
Modified bitumen is an asphalt-based roofing system enhanced with polymers for increased flexibility and durability. Offering superior waterproofing capabilities and resistance to punctures and tears, modified bitumen roofing is suitable for various commercial applications. Its multi-layered construction ensures long-lasting protection, making it a reliable choice for buildings in diverse climates.
Metal Roofing Systems
Metal roofing systems are known for their longevity, durability, and low maintenance requirements. Available in various materials, including steel, aluminum, and copper, metal roofing offers excellent resistance to fire, wind, and impact. With options for different colors and styles, metal roofing enhances a building's aesthetic appeal while providing superior protection for decades.
Before any installation, we conduct a thorough assessment of your building’s structural requirements and environmental factors, ensuring the chosen roofing system is perfectly suited for your needs. Our meticulous installation process guarantees optimal performance and longevity.
Thorough Commercial Roof Repair Services
Even the most durable roofing systems can experience damage over time. Our commercial roof repair services are designed to address all types of issues promptly and effectively, preventing further damage and extending the life of your roof.
Leak Detection and Repair
Leaks can lead to significant damage if left unaddressed. We use advanced leak detection techniques to pinpoint the source of leaks quickly and accurately. Our team provides comprehensive repairs, including patching, sealing, and membrane replacement, ensuring a watertight seal and preventing water damage to your building.

Severe weather can wreak havoc on commercial roofs. Our storm damage repair services include assessment of damage caused by wind, hail, and heavy rain, followed by efficient and effective repairs. We work diligently to restore your roof to its pre-storm condition, minimizing disruptions to your business operations.

Extend the life of your roof with our restoration and coating services. We apply high-quality coatings that protect against UV damage, weathering, and chemical exposure, enhancing the roof's durability and performance.

Proactive Commercial Roof Maintenance Programs
Preventive maintenance is key to maximizing the lifespan and performance of your commercial roof. Our customized maintenance programs are designed to identify and address potential issues before they escalate into costly repairs.
Regular Inspections
Our experienced technicians conduct thorough roof inspections, identifying signs of wear and tear, potential leaks, and other issues that could compromise the roof’s integrity. Regular inspections allow us to address problems early, preventing costly repairs down the line.
Cleaning and Debris Removal

Preventive Repairs
Based on our inspection findings, we proactively perform minor repairs, such as sealing cracks, tightening fasteners, and replacing damaged components. These preventive measures can significantly extend the life of your roof and prevent costly repairs in the future.
Our maintenance programs are tailored to your specific roof type and building requirements, providing ongoing protection and maximizing the lifespan of your investment.
Navigating Common Commercial Roofing Challenges
Commercial roofs face a variety of challenges that can impact their performance and longevity. Understanding these issues can help you identify potential problems early and take proactive steps to address them.
Ponding Water
Ponding water occurs when water accumulates on the roof surface and fails to drain properly. This can lead to premature deterioration of roofing materials, increased risk of leaks, and potential structural damage. Our roofing solutions include improving drainage systems, leveling roof surfaces, and applying waterproof coatings to prevent ponding water and protect your roof.
Blistering and Bubbling
Blistering and bubbling occur when moisture becomes trapped beneath the roofing membrane, causing it to expand and form blisters or bubbles. These can weaken the roof’s surface and lead to cracks and leaks. We address blistering and bubbling by removing the affected areas, drying the underlying layers, and applying new roofing materials to create a smooth, watertight surface.
Granule Loss
Granule loss is common with asphalt shingles and modified bitumen roofing. The granules protect the underlying materials from UV damage and weathering. When granules are lost, the roof becomes more vulnerable to deterioration. Our repair services include applying protective coatings that seal and reinforce the roof, preventing further granule loss and extending the roof’s lifespan.
Seam Failures
Seam failures occur when the seams or joints in the roofing system become weakened or detached, allowing water to penetrate the building. This is particularly common in single-ply roofing systems. We repair seam failures by cleaning and preparing the affected areas, then applying new sealing materials or reinforcing the seams with additional layers of roofing membrane to ensure a watertight seal.
Penetration Issues
Penetrations, such as pipes, vents, and skylights, can create vulnerable points in the roof where leaks can occur. Proper sealing and flashing around these penetrations are essential for maintaining a watertight seal. Our services include inspecting and repairing flashing, sealing gaps, and ensuring penetrations are properly integrated into the roofing system to prevent leaks and water damage.
By addressing these and other common roofing challenges, we help you maintain a durable, reliable, and long-lasting commercial roof.
Recognizing Warning Signs That Your Commercial Roof Needs Attention
Detecting potential problems early can save you significant costs and prevent extensive damage. Here are some key signs that indicate your commercial roof may need attention:
Visible Leaks
Visible leaks in your ceiling or walls are a clear indication that your roof is compromised. Water stains, dripping water, and musty odors are all telltale signs of leaks. Addressing leaks promptly is crucial to prevent water damage, mold growth, and structural issues. Our leak detection and repair services can quickly identify and resolve these issues, protecting your building and assets.
Damaged or Missing Shingles
Damaged or missing shingles on an asphalt roof can expose the underlying structure to the elements, leading to water damage and premature deterioration. Wind, hail, and other weather conditions can cause shingles to crack, curl, or fall off. Replacing damaged or missing shingles promptly is essential to maintain the roof’s protective barrier. We provide expert shingle repair and replacement services to restore your roof’s integrity.
Sagging Roof Deck
A sagging roof deck indicates structural weakness and potential water damage. This can be caused by excessive weight, water accumulation, or deterioration of the underlying supports. A sagging roof deck is a serious problem that requires immediate attention. Our team can assess the structural integrity of your roof, provide necessary repairs, and reinforce the deck to ensure the safety and stability of your building.
Increased Energy Bills
A poorly insulated or damaged roof can lead to increased energy bills as your heating and cooling systems work harder to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. Gaps, cracks, and deteriorated roofing materials can allow heat to escape in the winter and enter in the summer. Our energy-efficient roofing solutions, such as TPO and reflective coatings, can improve insulation, reduce energy consumption, and lower your utility costs.
Excessive Granule Loss
As mentioned earlier, excessive granule loss from asphalt shingles can indicate that the roof is nearing the end of its lifespan. As the granules wear away, the underlying asphalt becomes exposed to the sun’s UV rays, accelerating deterioration. If you notice significant granule loss, it may be time to consider roof replacement. We offer a variety of roofing options to suit your needs and budget.
Standing Water
If you notice standing water on your flat or low-sloped roof, it indicates that the drainage system is not functioning properly. Standing water can damage roofing materials, promote algae growth, and lead to leaks. Our services include cleaning and repairing drainage systems, improving roof slope, and applying waterproof coatings to prevent water accumulation and protect your roof.
