Regular inspections are performed to keep you aware of your roof’s condition and possible damages. We use thermal imaging and other techniques to detect leaks hidden in the multiple layers. Once an inspection is completed, our roofing contractor will provide you with the checklist of items that need repair. He will also explain to you his personal recommendation for your roof.
We also perform required roof inspections prior to the installation of HVAC systems and Solar panels. This way, we ensure that your roof meets the safety requirements for the new installation.
A roof coating can help you reduce energy consumption and increase the lifespan of your roof. You can minimize the leaks and keep your roof in prime condition for longer. We use a variety of coating materials, such as elastomeric, acrylic-based, butyl-based, and rubber, to make it waterproof and give it some extra life. We also do metal flashings to make your roof waterproof.
When a roof reaches a point of being beyond repair, we do a complete replacement. We provide maintenance guarantees on every job. Sometimes, roof replacement is coupled up with other tasks such as:
- Repitching
This involves changing the slanting angle of the roof to prevent damage or collapse from the weight of snow, water pooling, debris traps, and even adding more living/working space on the top floor. Making this structural change requires switching out the roof’s ridges, eaves, props, rafters, and internal walls.
- Replace Skylights Or Dormers
Sometimes when we are removing shingles, damage to the existing skylights or dormers is revealed. If required, we can repair or replace it. If you notice leaking through these areas, we can often come out and repair/patch the surrounding roof areas to stop the leakage.
- Soffit Installation We can replace your old soffits or install new ones. This can provide better ventilation to the attic or top floor by drawing away moisture and heat and preventing the growth of mold.
Types & Materials
Metal roofs have a longer life span and require very low maintenance. Some types of metal roofs are aluminum, copper, tin, zinc, and steel. At this point, we do not remove existing metal roofs. We can install new metal roofs or recommend silicone, acrylic, or aluminum coating on the existing roof.
It is sometimes referred to as “rubber roofing” and can be installed on any shape of the roof.
A special adhesive is used to seal the EPDM sheets and metal flashing elements.
Mechanical fasteners are used to install TPO sheets. They can also be heated to make a thick layer. The white TPO material is preferred by homeowners as it reflects solar radiation and saves energy in air conditioning.
This type of roof is created by rolling out sheets of modified bitumen onto the roof. These sheets are adhered to the roof by heating them with the help of a hand-held propane torch. The layers are melted and sealed together to create a waterproof layer.
Asphalt shingles often play a role in providing protection against weather. This type of roofing comes in many colors and patterns.
A silicone roof coating system has a single layer of silicon rolled or sprayed as a liquid to fill in cracks, blisters, and seams. This way, an extra layer of protection is added to your roof.
An acrylic roof coating applied over a roof reduces energy costs, saves money, and also extends the life of that roof.
Mostly, the roofs of commercial buildings are flat. They need to be inspected more frequently and often require maintenance. On the plus side, they are quicker and less disruptive to install. Pitched roofs are durable and require less maintenance over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
A great benefit of metal roofs is that they can be installed over existing roofs, from asphalt shingles to wood shakes. However, it is not possible for all roofing products. For example, standing seam metal panels require a smooth, flat deck. We don’t remove metal roofs. However, once a metal roof is removed, we can install a new one.
Some of the popular choices for commercial buildings are silicone, acrylic, and aluminum. Depending on your unique requirements and budget, we can give a precise recommendation.
Some of the common types of commercial roofs are PVC, Acrylic, or Torch down roofs.
Usually, the metal roof is the strongest roof. Depending on your building requirements, you can choose the roof that fits your needs.

The life of a flat roof depends on various factors such as its design, materials used, accessories, flashing details, maintenance, and quality of installation. Typically, a flat roof lasts between 10 to 30 years.
EPDM, commonly known as a “rubber roof,” stands for ethylene propylene diene monomer and gets its name from the chemicals (monomers) that are mixed in various proportions to form it. On the other hand, TPO is a blend of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber. It is a low-cost material as compared to EPDM.
A roof membrane is a layer of material used on flat or nearly flat roofs to protect the building. It provides warmth and prevents water from entering the house. The roof membrane is often uplifted by storms and strong winds. When the uplifting is more than 25%, bald or damaged spots become visible on the membrane.
