We Offer:

• Built-Up Roofing (BUR):
  o Consists of multiple layers of roofing felt and bitumen (asphalt or coal tar).
  o Provides excellent waterproofing and durability.
  o Often finished with a protective layer of gravel.
• Modified Bitumen Roofing:
  o An evolution of BUR with the application of a modified bitumen sheet that
  includes polymers for added flexibility.
  o Can be applied using heat, cold adhesives, or self-adhering methods.
  o Good for flat or low-slope roofs and offers good waterproofing and UV
  resistance.
• Single-Ply Roofing:
  o Made of a single layer of flexible membrane (typically TPO, PVC, or
  EPDM).
  o Lightweight and easy to install.
  o TPO and PVC membranes are reflective, promoting energy efficiency,
  while EPDM is known for its durability.
• Metal Roofing:
  o Made of steel, aluminum, copper, or zinc panels.
  o Highly durable, weather-resistant, and fire-resistant.
  o Available in various styles and finishes, providing good aesthetics.
  o Can be installed over existing roofing systems.
• Roofing Shingles:
  o Less common for commercial buildings but can be used for certain
  applications.
  o Typically asphalt or fiberglass-based, offering good durability and
  aesthetics.
  o Ideal for sloped roofs and residential-style commercial buildings.
• Green (Vegetative) Roofing:
  o Involves growing plants on the roof to provide insulation and manage
  stormwater.
  o Can reduce urban heat and promote biodiversity.
  o Requires a well-designed waterproofing system underneath.

• Spray Foam Roofing (SPF):
  o Involves spraying a mixture of chemicals that expand into a foam, creating
  a seamless and insulated roofing layer.
  o Provides excellent insulation and waterproofing properties.

• Concrete Roofing:
  o Made from precast or poured-in-place concrete.
  o Highly durable and resistant to extreme weather and fire.
  o Provides excellent thermal mass but can be heavy.
• Asphalt Shingle Roofing:
  o While more common in residential applications, some commercial
  buildings use asphalt shingles for specific styles.
  o Available in various colors and styles, including architectural shingles.
• Photovoltaic (Solar) Roofing:
  o Involves integrating solar panels directly into the roof system.
  o Provides energy generation and can be part of a roofing system, including
  other materials mentioned above.

When choosing a commercial roof system, it’s essential to consider factors like roof
slope, climate, budget, building use, and any specific requirements for energy efficiency
or aesthetics.

 Commercial Roof Options

If you’re looking for options other than replacing a commercial roof, there are several
alternatives that can help extend the life of the existing roofing system and address
specific issues. Here are some options:

1. Roof Coatings: Applying a roof coating can provide an extra layer of protection,
improve energy efficiency, and extend the roof’s lifespan. Roof coatings, such as
acrylic, silicone, or polyurethane, can seal leaks, reflect UV rays, and enhance
the overall durability of the roof.

2. Roof Repair: For localized damage, minor repairs may be sufficient. This can
include fixing leaks, replacing damaged flashing, sealing joints, or patching holes.

3. Roof Restoration: This process involves cleaning the existing roof, repairing any
necessary areas, and applying a protective coating. Roof restoration can be a
cost-effective way to revitalize an aging roof without the need for complete
replacement.

4. Roof Maintenance: Regular inspection and maintenance can help identify
potential problems before they become significant. This includes cleaning debris,
checking for cracks or blisters, and maintaining drainage systems.

5. Overlay System: In some cases, a new roofing system can be installed over the
existing roof without tearing off the old layers. This is typically done with certain
types of single-ply membranes or modified bitumen but should only be
considered if the current roof is in good condition.

6. Green Roof Installation: If considering a long-term investment, adding a green
roof (vegetative roof) can improve insulation, reduce stormwater runoff, and
provide aesthetic benefits without needing a complete replacement.

7. Energy-efficient Upgrades: Installing reflective materials or insulation can
improve the energy efficiency of an existing roofing system, leading to reduced
cooling costs and increased comfort without a full replacement.
