Commercial Roofing
Commercial work is not just a bigger house roof. The membrane matters, the detailing around every unit and penetration matters, and the schedule matters, because you still have to be open tomorrow.
On a commercial building, the roof is a business risk. A leak over the wrong room is inventory, equipment, or a day of lost revenue, not just a ceiling stain. We handle low-slope commercial systems across Central Ohio: full tear-offs and new membrane, repairs, and the detail work around HVAC curbs, drains, and penetrations where flat roofs actually fail.
Black rubber. The most forgiving choice in a cold climate: high elongation, moves through freeze-thaw without stress cracks, 30 plus year lifespan, puncture resistant, and typically the lowest cost per square foot. Our default for Central Ohio buildings.
A white reflective membrane that bounces 75 to 80 percent of the sun's heat, which can meaningfully cut cooling costs on a big conditioned box. Runs 20 to 30 years. It earns its keep on large buildings with serious cooling loads.
The specialist. Chemical and grease resistant, which is why it goes on restaurants and any building with kitchen exhaust dumping onto the roof. If grease hits your membrane, EPDM and TPO both degrade and PVC does not.
By your building, not by what we like installing. Cooling load, roof traffic, what is exhausting onto the roof, your ownership horizon, and your budget. Then we tell you which one and why.
Not the field of the membrane. It is the HVAC curbs, drains, vents, and every pipe coming through. That detail work is the whole job.
Flat roofs are not actually flat, they are pitched to drains. When a drain clogs or the pitch is wrong, you get ponding, and standing water finds every weakness you have.
We schedule around your operation. Nights, weekends, phased sections. You do not close so we can roof.
Questions
Yes. Nights, weekends, or phased by section so you stay open. Tell us your constraints and we will build the schedule around them.
Usually EPDM, because it handles our freeze-thaw cycles and lasts longer here. TPO makes sense on a large, heavily cooled building where reflecting heat cuts a real number off your energy bill. If you have kitchen exhaust, PVC.
Often, yes. Most commercial leaks are at penetrations, curbs, or drains, not the field. If the membrane still has life, a repair is the right call and we will say so.
There is noise and there are dumpsters. Beyond that we phase it, keep the site clean, and never leave an open section exposed overnight.
Yes, and on a flat roof it is worth it. Most commercial roof failures are things that were visible and cheap a year before they became expensive.
