Commercial and mixed-use roofing
Storefronts, small offices, garages, apartment buildings and the mixed-use properties along the pike. Mostly low-slope work, on a larger scale than a rear addition.
Commercial low-slope roofing is the same trade as a residential flat roof — membrane, seams, terminations, drainage — with more of it, more penetrations to flash, and usually a tenant underneath who cannot have the building shut.
For property owners and managers, the more useful conversation is often about whether a roof needs replacing at all this year, or whether it can be coated and maintained while the capital is spent elsewhere.
Typical work
- EPDM and modified bitumen replacement on small commercial decks.
- Protective coating systems over a sound but ageing membrane.
- Leak investigation on roofs with many penetrations — units, vents, curbs.
- Flashing and termination repair at parapets and walls.
- Gutter, downspout and internal drain work.
- Scheduled maintenance and pre-winter checks for landlords and managers.
Work is scheduled around the tenant rather than the other way around, and for anything that has to happen outside business hours, that gets agreed before the job is priced, not after.
