Diverse solutions tailored to your every need
Commercial roofs come in several types, including flat or low-slope roofs, metal roofing, TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin), EPDM (rubber), and built-up roofing (BUR). Each type offers unique benefits in terms of durability, energy efficiency, and maintenance requirements.
The lifespan of a commercial roof depends on the material and installation quality. Flat roofs usually last 15–25 years, metal roofs 40–70 years, and TPO or EPDM roofs 20–30 years. Regular maintenance can extend the life of any commercial roof.
It’s recommended to inspect commercial roofs at least twice a year, ideally in spring and fall, and after major storms. Regular inspections help identify leaks, damaged flashing, or other issues before they become costly repairs.
Yes. Many commercial roofing problems, such as minor leaks or damaged membranes, can be repaired. However, if the roof is extensively aged or deteriorated, a full replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run.
Regular maintenance includes clearing debris, checking for ponding water, inspecting flashing and seals, and addressing minor repairs promptly. Preventative maintenance helps extend the roof’s lifespan, improves energy efficiency, and protects your building from water damage.

Why Commercial Roofing Is Different
Commercial roofs face challenges that
residential roofs don't:
Size and Scale - Commercial buildings typically have much larger roof areas, requiring specialized equipment and experienced crews to complete projects efficiently.
Business Continuity - Downtime costs you money. We work around your business hours and schedule projects to minimize disruption to your operations.
Diverse Roofing Systems - Unlike residential properties that primarily use sloped shingle roofs, commercial buildings utilize flat roofing systems, low-slope roofs, and specialized materials requiring different expertise.
Building Codes and Regulations - Commercial properties must meet stricter building codes, fire ratings, and local ordinances. We handle all permitting and ensure full compliance.
Higher Performance Standards - Commercial roofs must withstand heavy foot traffic from HVAC maintenance, support equipment loads, and protect valuable inventory and equipment.
