Commercial re-roofing and roof overs
Commercial re-roofing: a full tear-off and replacement, or a new roof system over the existing one where the structure and local code allow. You get a written scope and estimate first.
Two ways to replace a commercial roof
Re-roofing
Tear-off and replacement of the roof system. The old roof comes off, damaged decking is repaired, and a new system goes on.
Roof overs
A new roof system installed over the existing one where the structure and local code allow, with less tear-off and less disruption.
Which one fits your building
A roof over is not right for every building. We recommend one after inspecting, and the written scope explains why. These are the main factors.
A roof over keeps the old roof in place, so what is under it matters. Trapped moisture or a weak deck under a new system causes problems later.
If a roof over isn't allowed, or the old roof can't support one, we'll tell you and quote the tear-off instead. See all commercial services.
- How many roof layers are already on the building
- Whether the old roof system is holding moisture
- The condition of the deck
- What local code allows
- How long you plan to own the building
Roof systems and warranty
Roof systems we install
We install all the common commercial roof systems, including TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, built-up roofing, metal, and roof coatings.
Warranty
Our warranty is outlined in your contract, and once your project is complete, we send you a full packet outlining your project and warranties.
Planning around the business
Roof work is loud and needs room for crews, materials, and debris. We plan staging, parking, and noisy work with you so the building can keep running.
After the new roof
A maintenance plan keeps the new roof on an inspection schedule.
Working around your tenants
Access, noise, and scheduling are planned before work starts, not on the day.
Consult
We learn about the building, access, tenants, and timing.
Inspect
Our team inspects the roof, checks the layers and the deck, and documents what we find.
Propose
You get a written scope and estimate, with the method we recommend and why.
Manage
One project manager plans access and noisy work around your tenants, and keeps you updated on what is scheduled and what is pending.
