Commercial roofing

Flat and low slope roofing for businesses across Florida and Georgia: TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and roof coatings, scheduled around your operations.

Why commercial is different

A low slope commercial roof fails differently than a shingle roof on a house.

A pitched residential roof sheds water by slope. A low slope commercial roof manages water by membrane integrity and drainage design. When a commercial membrane fails, water does not announce itself with a visible stain the first week: it sits on the deck, wicks into insulation, and spreads laterally before anything shows inside. By the time a commercial roof is visibly leaking, the underlying damage is typically far larger than the entry point.

This is why commercial roofing deserves its own approach, and we treat it as its own discipline, serving businesses across Florida and Georgia. The membrane choice, the drainage layout, the fastening pattern, and the maintenance schedule are all specific to low slope systems and are not interchangeable with residential methods.

Every commercial job starts with a full inspection of the existing membrane and drainage before any scope is written. What we find determines whether you need a replacement, a targeted repair, or a coating that extends the membrane's serviceable life.

Systems we install

The four commercial systems and when each one fits.

Material choice depends on the existing roof, building use, drainage geometry, and budget. Here is the honest version.

TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)

The most common commercial choice in Florida right now. White TPO reflects heat, which matters in a state where commercial cooling bills are significant. It is heat welded at the seams rather than glued, which creates a stronger bond than older membrane methods. Performs well on new builds and recovers over existing membrane where the substrate is sound.

EPDM (Rubber membrane)

A proven system for buildings where flexibility and longevity under thermal movement matter. EPDM handles temperature cycling well and is easier to repair than welded membranes. Common on existing commercial buildings where an EPDM recover keeps the project cost down without sacrificing performance.

Modified bitumen

A layered asphalt system, typically two ply, that builds up water resistance through redundancy rather than a single membrane. Standard on commercial buildings built before TPO became dominant, and still used on reroofing jobs where the existing assembly calls for it. Inspected carefully for blister development and seam separation during maintenance.

Roof coatings

When the existing membrane is structurally sound but showing surface wear, a silicone or acrylic coating adds years of service without the cost of a full tear off. We inspect the substrate before recommending a coating: a coating over a failing membrane is money that delays the replacement rather than avoiding it. If coating is the right answer, we say so and write it up that way.

Scheduling around operations

The building does not close for us.

Commercial roofing is scheduled around the tenant or the business, not the other way around. If work has to happen at night, on weekends, or in sections to keep parts of the building open, we plan it that way from the start. The scope, the sequencing, and the schedule are all agreed in writing before anything is torn off.

Drainage is designed during the scope, not after installation. A commercial roof that pools water after a Florida rain failed in design, not in materials, and we verify the slope and drain locations before the membrane goes down. Ponding water on a flat or low slope roof is the primary accelerant of membrane failure and is preventable.

  • Work scheduled around business hours and tenant needs
  • Drainage verified before membrane installation
  • Permit pulled and inspection handled
  • Written scope and price before any tear off
Scope and coverage

What sizes and building types we work on.

We work on flat or low slope roofs across our Florida and Georgia service areas.

Retail and strip centers

Single tenant and multi tenant buildings where lease agreements, common area obligations, and tenant scheduling all factor into the work plan. We write the scope to meet lease documentation requirements when that is needed.

Warehouses and industrial

Large membrane areas, drainage complexity, and rooftop equipment penetrations. We inspect and reseal all HVAC curbs, vent stacks, and penetration boots as part of every commercial job, because penetrations are where flat roofs fail first.

Office buildings and mixed use

Occupied buildings where noise, access, and tenant disruption have to be managed. Phased work plans and after hours scheduling are available where the project calls for it. Call and we will talk through what your building needs.

Get the commercial roof inspected and scoped before the membrane fails through.

One call, one inspection, a written scope and price. We serve businesses across our Florida and Georgia service areas. See the full coverage list.
