Commercial Roofing Services
There are significantly more commercial roofing systems available than there are residential, which means you as a commercial building owner need to do more research before making purchase or repair decisions regarding your roof.
Tar and Gravel
Built-Up Roofing Systems have been in use in the U.S. for over 100 years. These roof systems are commonly referred to as “tar and gravel” roofs. Built-up systems are installed by alternating layers of asphalt or tar and supporting fabrics directly onto the roof. You can choose the number of layers (or plies) that are installed. The final layer of a built-up roofing system consists of stone or gravel.
Metal
Metal roofing is used on a variety of commercial building applications, including corporate offices, retail shops, technology centers, educational buildings, warehouses and healthcare offices. Typically, the sound generated from rain or hail on traditional shingles is comparable to that of a metal roof. Because metal roofing is installed over plywood, felt, synthetic underlayment or an existing roof, this interior barrier can actually decrease the level of sound.
Single Ply
Single-Ply Membranes are sheets of rubber and other synthetics that can be ballasted or chemically adhered to insulation to create a layer of protection for your commercial facility.There are two main types of single-ply membrane commercial roofing: Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) and Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer (EPDM). They differ in their chemical makeup, how they are installed and their energy efficiencies.
