Do Commercial Roofs Require Specialized Roofers?

Yes, commercial roofs require roofers with experience working on the demands of larger, more complex roofing systems. These roofs can differ significantly from residential roofs in their construction, drainage, access requirements, and installation or repair methods.

Our commercial roofers can evaluate these factors together rather than treating an isolated problem without considering its impact on the rest of the system. As a licensed roofing company, we apply this specialized knowledge to help ensure the work performed is appropriate for your roof and commercial property.

Which Roofing Systems Are Used for Commercial Properties?

Commercial roofing isn’t limited to a single system or material, and the right approach can vary considerably from one property to another. Our experience with a broad range of roofing systems enables us to account for the distinct installation, maintenance, and repair requirements of each.

Available roofing systems include:

• Flat roofing
• Metal roofing
• Torch-on and modified bitumen roofing
• Tar and gravel roofing

• EPDM roofing
• Green roofing
• Slate and shingle roofing

Understanding the characteristics of each system allows our roofers to make decisions based on how the roof is built, how it’s performing, and what it needs to remain dependable.

When Should You Schedule a Commercial Roof Inspection?

You should schedule a commercial roof inspection after severe weather, when you notice signs of damage, or as part of routine roof care. Even when there are no obvious signs of damage, an inspection can give you a clearer picture of your roof’s condition and identify concerns that may otherwise go unnoticed. Catching issues early helps you prevent larger, more costly problems and gives you time to determine whether maintenance, repair, or restoration is appropriate.
