Commercial Roofing Systems We Install

A roofing system is the whole assembly, not just the top layer. The right system depends in part on the roof assembly already in place.

How a Commercial Roof System Gets Chosen

What’s already on the roof matters more than any preference, since tearing off an existing system or building over it changes what’s actually possible.

Tear-off feasibility

Whether tear-off is possible in an occupied building depends on access, staging, and how much disruption the business underneath can tolerate during the work.

Drainage and slope

These shape systems make sense physically, a nearly flat roof has different needs than one with real pitch.

Reflectance and energy performance

These matter more on some buildings than others, depending on cooling costs and how much roof-driven heat actually affects what’s below.

Foot traffic and rooftop equipment

These change what a membrane needs to withstand day to day, not just in a storm.

Service life vs. ownership horizon

How long you’re planning to hold the building changes which system makes financial sense, separate from which one performs best in the abstract.

The Systems We Work With

Explore the commercial roofing systems we install, from low-slope membrane and asphalt-based assemblies to coatings and steep-slope options. 

Single-Ply Membranes

Single-ply roofing uses a sheet membrane as the primary waterproofing layer on many commercial low-slope roofs. TPO, PVC, and EPDM are common options, each with different properties and installation considerations.

  • TPO roofing: A widely used single-ply membrane known for heat-welded seams and reflective surface options.
  • PVC roofing: Strong chemical resistance, often specified where rooftop equipment or exhaust introduces oils or grease into the mix.
  • EPDM roofing: A rubber single-ply membrane with a long track record on commercial low-slope roofs.

Built-Up and Modified Bitumen Roofing

Multi-layer systems built from asphalt-based materials, suited to roofs where a heavier, layered assembly makes more sense than a single membrane.

Liquid Applied Roofing

A fluid-applied roofing system that may be suitable for restoring an existing roof, depending on its condition and the specified system. Its seamless finish can be useful around complex penetrations. Whether restoration is more cost-effective than replacement depends on the roof assessment and project scope.

Cool Roof Coatings

Depending on the coating and existing roof condition, a coating may help extend the service life of a roof that remains suitable for restoration. The assessment determines whether coating or replacement is appropriate.

Commercial Metal Roofing

A steep-slope option chosen for longevity and appearance where that combination matters.

Asphalt Shingle Roofing

A steep-slope option for commercial buildings with a pitched roof rather than a flat or low-slope one.
