Types of Commercial Roofing Systems We Install
Commercial buildings require specialized roofing systems that differ significantly from residential applications. We install and maintain various commercial roofing types, each offering distinct advantages depending on your building’s architecture and operational needs. Flat and low-slope roofs dominate commercial construction, and we excel in implementing TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) systems known for their energy-reflective properties and heat-welded seams that create watertight barriers.
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber roofing represents another popular choice for commercial properties, particularly warehouses and industrial facilities. This synthetic rubber material withstands extreme temperature fluctuations while maintaining flexibility over decades of service.
Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
Modern commercial roofing extends beyond basic weather protection to actively reduce operational costs through improved energy efficiency. Cool roofing technologies reflect solar radiation rather than absorbing it, potentially reducing cooling costs by 10-30% during peak summer months. We analyze your building’s thermal performance and recommend roofing solutions that optimize insulation values while meeting or exceeding local energy codes.
The financial benefits of proper commercial roofing extend throughout your system’s lifespan. Quality installation paired with regular maintenance programs can extend roof life by 40-50%, delaying costly replacement cycles. We help business owners understand total cost of ownership, factoring in energy savings, maintenance requirements, and warranty coverage to determine the most economical long-term solution.
Safety remains paramount throughout every phase. We implement comprehensive safety protocols protecting both our workers and your employees, maintaining clean job sites and securing all work areas. Our commitment to safety reflects our core values and professional approach to commercial roofing.
Maintenance Programs That Protect Your Investment
Proactive maintenance dramatically extends commercial roof lifespan while preventing minor issues from escalating into major repairs. We offer customized maintenance programs including bi-annual inspections, debris removal, and detailed condition reports documenting your roof’s health. These programs typically identify potential problems 3-5 years before they would cause interior damage, saving thousands in emergency repair costs.
Regular maintenance also preserves manufacturer warranties, which often require documented professional inspections. We maintain comprehensive records of all service visits, repairs, and observations, providing valuable documentation for insurance claims and property valuations. Supporting many local charities and events demonstrates our commitment to community partnerships, and we bring that same dedication to maintaining long-term relationships with our commercial clients.
