Commercial Roofing Services
Depending on your roof and the current condition, we have several options available for you.
TPO
TPO stands for Thermoplastic Polyolefin. This is a white PVC-like, single-ply membrane that is popular with commercial buildings and is relatively cost effective.
EPDM
Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer is essentially a rubber-like roofing material. This too is a single-ply membrane and relatively cost effective. Also common on commercial building roof types.
Modified Bitumen
This is a rubber or plastic modified asphalt rolled roof. This can be installed with hot tar or cold tar. It can also be applied as a peel and stick and heated with a torch for adherence.
Coatings
We also have a variety of restorative options that include silicone, acrylic and elastomeric. These are meant to extend the service life of a commercial roof that isn’t in need or replacement.

Common Commercial Roofing FAQs
What is the lifespan of a commercial roof?
The lifespan of a commercial roof can vary depending on several factors, including the type of roofing material, installation quality, maintenance practices, climate conditions, and other external factors. Here is the approximate life spans for some common types of commercial roofing materials:
-
Built-Up Roofing (BUR): With proper maintenance, a BUR roof can last around 15 to 30 years.
-
Modified Bitumen: Modified bitumen roofs typically have a lifespan of 20 to 30 years.
-
Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO): TPO roofs can last between 20 and 30 years.
-
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM): EPDM roofs usually have a lifespan of 20 to 30 years.
-
Metal Roofing: Metal roofs are known for their durability and can last 40 to 70 years or even longer with regular maintenance.
-
Asphalt Shingles: Although more common in residential buildings, asphalt shingle roofs can be found on some commercial structures. Their lifespan typically ranges from 15 to 30 years.
How do I know if my business needs a new roof?
Determining whether your business needs a new roof involves considering several details. These are the most common signs that indicate it may be time to replace your commercial roof:
-
Age of the Roof: Most commercial roofs have an estimated lifespan, as mentioned previously. If your roof is approaching or has exceeded its expected lifespan, it’s a good indication that you may need a new roof.
-
Visible Damage: Inspect your roof for any visible signs of damage. Look for cracks, splits, blistering, curling or buckling shingles, missing or damaged tiles or excessive wear and tear.
-
Water Leakage: If you notice water stains, leaks, or moisture inside your building, it’s a strong indicator that your roof is compromised. Persistent leaks that cannot be repaired effectively may necessitate a new roof.
Sagging or Bowed Roof: A sagging or bowed roof is a serious concern and could indicate structural issues. If you notice any significant deformations or irregularities in the shape of your roof, it’s essential to have it inspected by a commercial roofing professional, as it may require replacement.
Excessive Energy Costs: If your energy bills have been consistently high, it could be due to poor insulation or inadequate ventilation in your roof. Upgrading to a new, energy-efficient roof can help reduce energy costs over time.
Roofing Material Deterioration: Different roofing materials exhibit various signs of deterioration. Shingles may become brittle or start losing granules, metal roofs may develop rust or corrosion, and flat roofs may develop extensive cracks or tears. If you observe significant deterioration in your roofing material, it may be time for a replacement.
How much will my new roof cost?
On average, the cost of a commercial roof installation can range from $5 to $15 per square foot. However, this is a rough estimate, and prices can go beyond this range based on the factors mentioned earlier. Complex roofs with unique architectural features or multiple levels can be more expensive to install.Â
Here is a breakdown of different commercial roof costs:Â
-
Built-Up Roofing (BUR): $3 to $7 per square foot
-
Modified Bitumen: $4 to $8 per square foot
-
Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO): $5 to $8 per square foot
-
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM): $4 to $8 per square foot
-
Metal Roofing: $7 to $12 per square foot
-
PVC: $6 to $10 per square foot
-
Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF): $5 to $10 per square foot
How long does it take to install a new commercial roof?
The time it takes to install a new commercial roof can vary. Some things to consider are the size and complexity of the roof, the type of roofing material being installed, weather conditions, and the efficiency of the roofing crew. Here are some general guidelines for the duration of a commercial roof installation:
-
Small to Medium-Sized Roof: For a relatively small or medium-sized commercial roof with a simple design, the installation process may take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. This timeframe includes the removal of the old roof (if necessary), surface preparation, installation of the new roofing material, and finishing touches.
-
Large or Complex Roof: Larger commercial roofs or those with complex designs, multiple levels, or unique architectural features may require more time for installation. It could take several weeks or even months to complete the installation, depending on the specific project requirements.
-
Weather Delays: Weather conditions play a crucial role in roof installation. Inclement weather such as rain, snow, or high winds can cause delays and extend the installation timeline. Roofing work may need to be halted during adverse weather conditions to ensure safety and maintain the quality of the installation.
How do I know which roof is right for my business?
Choosing the right roof for your business depends on various factors, including your specific needs, budget, location, and building requirements. Here are some common types of commercial roofing materials along with their characteristics to help you make an informed decision:
- Built-Up Roofing (BUR): BUR roofs consist of multiple layers of bitumen and reinforcing materials. They provide excellent waterproofing and durability, making them suitable for low-slope or flat roofs. BUR roofs are cost-effective and can withstand heavy foot traffic.
- Modified Bitumen: Modified bitumen roofs are a variation of BUR roofs but come in pre-fabricated rolls or sheets. They offer enhanced flexibility and resistance to extreme temperatures. Modified bitumen roofs are suitable for low-slope roofs and are known for their durability.
- Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO): TPO roofs are single-ply membranes that provide energy efficiency, UV resistance, and durability. They are lightweight, cost-effective, and reflect sunlight, reducing cooling costs. TPO roofs are commonly used in commercial buildings.
- Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM): EPDM roofs are synthetic rubber membranes known for their durability and resistance to UV radiation. They are suitable for flat or low-slope roofs and offer excellent weather resistance and flexibility.
- Metal Roofing: Metal roofs, available in various materials such as steel, aluminum, or copper, are durable, long-lasting, and low maintenance. They offer excellent protection against the elements, are energy-efficient, and can be aesthetically pleasing. Metal roofs are versatile and can complement different architectural styles.
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): PVC roofs are single-ply membranes that provide excellent resistance to chemicals, fire, and UV radiation. They offer strong durability, flexibility, and energy efficiency. PVC roofs are commonly used in restaurants, manufacturing facilities, and chemical plants.
It’s essential to consult with a professional roofing contractor or a commercial roofing specialist who can assess your specific needs, evaluate your building’s characteristics, and provide recommendations based on factors such as climate, budget, durability requirements, and energy efficiency goals.
