Our Commercial Roofing Services
Commercial Roof Installation
We are Bradenton's top choice for precision-built roofing systems for new construction and large-scale commercial projects. Our team installs TPO, PVC, EPDM, Modified Bitumen, BUR, and metal roofing using manufacturer-approved methods that meet building codes and performance requirements. Properly installed commercial roofing systems can deliver reliable protection for decades with minimal maintenance.
Commercial Roof Replacement
When a roof can no longer perform as intended, we build durable roof replacements that last for many years. This process involves removing outdated materials, correcting hidden moisture or structural concerns, and installing modern roofing assemblies engineered for today’s standards. A full replacement often lowers ongoing repair expenses while improving overall building performance.
Commercial Re-Roofing
Re-roofing is an efficient solution for properties with a stable roof structure that still need renewed protection. Where permitted by code, we install a new roofing layer over the existing system to reduce labor, material waste, and downtime. This approach shortens project timelines while restoring durability and extending the usable life of the roof.
Flat & Low‑Slope Roofing Systems
We design and install flat and low-slope roofing solutions tailored to the demands of commercial properties. Our experience includes single‑ply and multi‑ply systems engineered for water control, durability, and long-term weather resistance. Properly installed flat roofing remains one of the most dependable and widely used options for large commercial bu
Roof Retrofits & Upgrades
Our retrofit and upgrade services enhance existing roof systems without requiring a complete tear-off. By improving insulation, drainage design, ventilation, and reflective properties, we help increase energy efficiency and overall roof performance. These targeted upgrades can significantly reduce operating costs while extending system lifespan.
Roof Deck Repair & Replacement
A compromised roof deck can undermine even the best roofing system. We assess and repair damaged steel, wood, or concrete decking to restore structural integrity, proper drainage, and secure attachment. Proactive deck repairs help prevent future failures and protect the building from costly water intrusion and structural damage.
Our Tile Roofing Services
Tile Roof Repair
Tile roof repair addresses specific problem areas such as cracked tiles, loose sections, or deteriorated flashing. Prompt repairs stop water penetration before it reaches the waterproofing layers and roof structure below. Maintaining small issues early helps preserve the overall roofing system and prevents the need for larger, more costly repairs.
Tile Roof Replacement
A full tile roof replacement becomes necessary when the underlayment or supporting components have aged beyond reliable performance. This process modernizes waterproofing, improves airflow, and increases energy efficiency while ensuring compliance with current building standards. Replacing an older tile system also refreshes the appearance of the property and protects its long-term value.
Tile Roof Inspection
Our expert team of tile roofers inspects your roof and provides a detailed evaluation of the tile and the underlying components. We also conduct routine inspections, especially after a storm, to identify early signs of wear, movement, or moisture intrusion before they develop into larger problems. Regular assessments help us plan a proactive maintenance plan to maximize the lifespan of your roof.
Clay Tile Roof Installation
Clay tile roofing is known for its exceptional durability and timeless appearance. When installed correctly, clay tiles deliver natural fire resistance, excellent temperature regulation, and long-term protection against harsh environmental conditions. This roofing option is ideal for property owners seeking a long-lasting system with strong architectural appeal.
Concrete Tile Roof Installation
Concrete tile roofing provides outstanding strength and longevity when properly installed. Its solid construction helps manage heat transfer, supporting improved indoor comfort in warm climates. Concrete tiles also deliver dependable fire resistance and wind performance, making them a reliable choice for long-term roofing protection.
Composite Tile Roof Installation
Composite tile roofing combines modern manufacturing with lightweight materials to create a durable alternative to traditional tile. These systems place less stress on the structure while offering strong resistance to moisture, sunlight, and impact. Designed for long-term performance, many composite tile products include extended manufacturer warranties.
What Types of Material Do We Use on Commercial Roofing Projects?
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
TPO is one of the most widely used commercial roofing systems in the U.S. Its white, reflective surface helps reduce heat buildup on the roof, which can lower cooling costs by 10–30% in warm climates. TPO is durable, resistant to UV rays and chemicals, and well‑suited for large flat roofs. Heat‑welded seams create strong, watertight connections that help prevent leaks.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
PVC roofing is designed for commercial buildings that need extra protection from chemicals, grease, and fire. Its welded seams provide excellent waterproofing, while the reflective surface can help reduce energy use by up to 20%. PVC also resists standing water, mold, and bacteria, which helps reduce maintenance over time.
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
EPDM is a flexible rubber roofing system known for long service life and dependable performance. Many EPDM roofs last 25–30 years or more with proper care. The material expands and contracts with temperature changes without cracking. It is a reliable choice for buildings exposed to harsh weather.
Modified Bitumen
Modified bitumen is a multilayer asphalt roofing system built for strength and durability. The layered design helps protect the roof even if one area is damaged. These systems typically last 20+ years and perform well in high‑traffic areas. Modified bitumen is a dependable, time‑tested option for commercial buildings.
What Commercial Roofing Issues Do We Fix?
Roof Leaks and Water Intrusion
Roof leaks are the most common commercial roofing problem and account for over 40% of premature roof failures. Even small leaks can allow moisture to spread beneath the membrane, leading to insulation saturation and interior damage. We use advanced leak detection and infrared moisture scanning to locate the source quickly and implement permanent, code‑compliant repairs.
Poor Drainage and Ponding Water
Ponding water is defined as water that remains on a roof for more than 48 hours, and it significantly accelerates membrane deterioration. Just one inch of standing water can add over 5 pounds per square foot of load, stressing the roof structure. We correct drainage issues by redesigning slopes, improving drain placement, and restoring proper water flow to protect the roofing system.
Aging or Deteriorated Roofing Systems
Most commercial roofing systems are designed to last 20–30 years, depending on materials and maintenance. As roofs age, membranes lose elasticity and seams weaken, increasing the likelihood of leaks and failures. We assess remaining service life and recommend targeted repairs, restoration, or full replacement to maximize value and prevent costly breakdowns.
Improper Installation or
Design Flaws
Industry studies estimate that nearly 50% of roof failures are linked to installation errors or poor design rather than material defects. Issues such as inadequate slope, improper flashing, or incorrect fastening can cause recurring leaks and drainage problems. Our certified crews correct design and installation deficiencies using manufacturer‑approved methods that meet current commercial codes.
Storm and Weather Damage
High winds, heavy rainfall, hail, and UV exposure gradually weaken roofing materials and attachment systems. Wind uplift pressures during severe storms can exceed 60–90 mph on commercial roofs, causing membrane detachment and flashing failure. We provide rapid inspections, emergency repairs, and storm‑resistant upgrades to restore protection and reduce future risk.
Unexpected Repair Costs and Downtime
Unplanned roofing failures often result in emergency repairs that cost 2–3× more than scheduled maintenance. Interior water damage can disrupt operations, damage equipment, and lead to lost revenue. We implement preventive maintenance programs and routine inspections to control costs and minimize operational disruptions.

Commercial & Tile Roofing FAQs
Most commercial roofing systems are designed to last 20–30 years, depending on the material used and how well the system is installed. Drainage design, roof traffic, weather exposure, and maintenance frequency all directly impact longevity. Routine inspections and preventive maintenance can extend a roof’s service life by 25–40%.
In most cases, commercial roofing projects are completed while the building remains fully operational. Work is carefully phased to control noise, debris, and access to critical areas. Safety protocols are used to protect employees, tenants, and customers throughout the project.
Commercial roofing systems typically qualify for 20–30 year manufacturer warranties when installed to approved specifications. Coverage may include materials, labor, and optional no‑dollar‑limit warranties for added protection. Proper installation and documentation are required to keep these warranties valid.
Tile roofing materials commonly last 40–75 years in Florida when properly installed. The waterproof underlayment beneath the tiles generally has a shorter lifespan of 20–30 years and determines when major work is needed. Regular inspections help identify underlayment issues before leaks occur.
Most tile roof damage is localized and can be resolved by replacing broken or displaced tiles. Repairs are effective as long as the underlayment and flashing remain in good condition. Full replacement is only necessary when the waterproofing system has deteriorated.
Tile roofs should be inspected every 1–2 years and after severe weather events. Maintenance typically includes replacing cracked tiles, securing loose pieces, and checking flashing and penetrations. Preventive care helps avoid water intrusion and extends the life of the roofing system.
