Commercial roofing

Built for buildings that can’t shut down

Your tenants still need to open. We phase the work, protect the interior, and keep the site clean and safe from the first day to the final inspection.

TPO membrane

Heat-welded single-ply that reflects Florida sun and cuts cooling load. Our most-installed commercial system.

Modified bitumen

Multi-ply redundancy for roofs that take foot traffic or carry heavy equipment.

Sloped commercial

Metal and tile for mixed-use, retail and HOA buildings where the roof is part of the curb appeal.

Maintenance program

Scheduled inspections and proactive repairs that stretch roof life and keep capital spend predictable.

Commercial low-slope roof on a Florida building

Documentation your accountant and your carrier will accept

Every commercial project comes with photo documentation, permit records and warranty paperwork organized in one place — which matters when you file a claim or sell the building.

For HOAs and asset managers we can quote by building or by portfolio, and we’ll sit down with your board and walk through the scope in plain language.

What you get

Why property managers keep calling us back

Phased scheduling

We work around tenants, business hours and event calendars instead of forcing you to work around us.

Code compliance handled

Florida commercial code and permitting managed start to finish, including final inspection.

Emergency response

Active leak on a building you manage? We prioritize commercial emergency calls.

Predictable budgets

Maintenance programs turn surprise capital expense into a planned line item.

The system

Why TPO became the default for Florida commercial roofs

It is not fashion. In this climate a reflective single-ply membrane solves a problem the alternatives do not.

Reflectivity is the whole argument

A white TPO surface reflects the large majority of solar radiation instead of absorbing it. A dark membrane on a Florida roof in July can run over 160°F; a white one runs dramatically cooler. That difference reduces the cooling load your HVAC has to fight, and it slows the thermal ageing of the membrane, the adhesive, the insulation and the deck underneath it. Everything on that roof lasts longer because the roof is cooler.

Heat-welded seams, not glued ones

TPO seams are fused with hot air into a single continuous sheet. Done correctly, the seam is stronger than the membrane either side of it. Done at the wrong temperature or speed, or over a dirty surface, it holds for two seasons and then opens — which is why weld quality and probe testing matter more than the brand on the roll.

Chemical and puncture resistance

TPO tolerates grease, oils and restaurant exhaust better than some alternatives, which matters if you have kitchen equipment on the roof. Thicker membranes (60 and 80 mil) resist foot traffic and hail far better than the 45 mil that turns up on the cheapest bids.

Attachment matched to wind uplift

Mechanically attached, fully adhered or induction welded, chosen on the basis of your deck type and the uplift the building actually has to resist. On the Treasure Coast that calculation starts at a 150–160 mph ultimate design wind speed, and it is a calculation, not a preference.

Where TPO is not the answer

Roofs with very heavy service traffic or a great deal of rooftop equipment are often better served by a two-ply modified bitumen system, which is tougher underfoot. We install both and will say so.

Read your quote

The specification decisions that actually matter

Four numbers on the quote that separate a 25-year roof from a 12-year one. Ask about all four.

Membrane thickness

45, 60 or 80 mil. The jump from 45 to 60 is the single best value decision on most commercial roofs, and it is where cheap bids save money quietly. Ask which one you are being quoted.

Insulation R-value and thickness

Polyiso board thickness drives both energy performance and cost, and code sets a minimum. Tapered insulation to correct a drainage problem costs more and is frequently the thing that actually fixes your roof.

Attachment method

Mechanically attached is faster and cheaper; fully adhered performs better under uplift and is quieter. The right answer comes from the wind calculation and your deck, not from what is fastest to install.

Cover board

A layer between insulation and membrane that resists punctures and improves fire and wind ratings. Routinely omitted from low bids. Routinely the reason one roof survives foot traffic and another does not.

Termination and flashing detail

Parapets, curbs, scuppers and edge metal. This is where low-slope roofs fail, so it is where the quote should be most specific and usually is not.

Warranty type and length

A manufacturer material warranty is not the same as a full system NDL warranty. Know which you are getting and what it actually covers.

Logistics

Working on an occupied commercial building

The roof is rarely the hard part. Keeping your tenants trading while we do it is.

Phased so nothing is open overnight

We tear off only the area we can dry in the same day. That is slower and it means an afternoon storm never lands on an open deck above your tenant’s inventory.

Access agreed before day one

Crane or conveyor placement, dumpster siting, material staging, crew parking and fire lane clearance, all settled with you and the property manager in advance rather than negotiated in the car park on the morning.

Rooftop equipment coordinated

HVAC units, condensers, exhaust fans, ductwork and antennae have to be lifted, flashed and reset. We coordinate with your mechanical contractor so nothing is down longer than it has to be, and every curb gets new flashing rather than reused flashing.

Written schedule you can circulate

So your tenants hear about the noise from you, in advance, rather than from the noise.

Out-of-hours where the scope allows

For restaurants, medical suites and retail we will work around trading hours. It costs more on the invoice and it is frequently cheaper than the lost revenue.

An asset file at the end

Photo set, product approvals, warranty documentation and permit close-out, packaged so your property manager can file it and your next roofer can read it.

TPO & commercial roofing FAQs

How long does a TPO roof last in Florida?

Twenty to twenty-five years from a properly specified and installed system. Membrane thickness, weld quality and drainage move that number far more than the manufacturer does. A 45 mil membrane with marginal welds and ponding water will not reach fifteen.

What thickness should I specify?

60 mil is the sensible default for most commercial buildings here. 80 mil is worth it where there is heavy foot traffic or significant rooftop equipment. 45 mil is where cheap bids find their savings, and we will tell you if that is what you are comparing against.

Can I recover over my existing roof instead of tearing off?

Florida permits a single recover where the existing system is dry and structurally sound. We core-sample to verify rather than assume. If the insulation is saturated or there has already been a recover, it has to come off - and a bid that skips the coring is cheaper for a reason.

Why does my roof have standing water?

Inadequate original drainage, blocked drains or scuppers, or settled insulation and deck creating low spots. Water that persists more than 48 hours after rain finds every marginal detail on the roof, and it voids a lot of manufacturer warranties. Tapered insulation fixes it properly.

Will the work disrupt my tenants?

There is noise and there is crane or conveyor activity, but the roof stays weathertight throughout because we dry in everything we open the same day. We phase the work, agree access in advance, and can work outside trading hours where the scope allows.

Do you handle the rooftop HVAC units?

We coordinate lifting, flashing and resetting with your mechanical contractor. Every curb and penetration gets new flashing - reusing old flashing under a new membrane is how a brand new roof leaks in year two.

What is the difference between a material warranty and an NDL warranty?

A material warranty covers the membrane if the product itself is defective. A no-dollar-limit system warranty covers material and labour for the full assembly, is issued by the manufacturer after their own inspection, and requires a certified installer and a specified system. They are very different documents and the second one is the one worth having.

Do you offer maintenance agreements?

Yes, and on a low-slope roof it is the highest-return maintenance money you can spend. Scheduled seam and termination checks, drain clearing, and minor repairs caught early. Low-slope failures are cheap at the start and very expensive at the end.

How fast can you respond to a commercial leak?

Managed buildings get priority. We tarp first to stop active water, then diagnose properly. See commercial roof repair.

Do you work with property managers and HOAs?

Regularly. Phased scheduling, written tenant notices, itemised scopes suitable for board approval, and a documented close-out package for the asset file.
