Types of Commercial Flat Roofs We Restore
We work on several common types of commercial flat roofs, each with specific materials and repair needs. Understanding these helps you choose the right restoration that keeps your roof durable and safe.
TPO Roofing Systems
TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin) roofs are popular because they reflect sunlight well, keeping buildings cooler and lowering energy costs. These roofs are made from a single-ply membrane, which can tear or puncture over time.
We restore TPO roofs by repairing seams, patching holes, and replacing worn sections. Our work helps prevent leaks and extends your roof’s life while maintaining its energy-efficient properties. We also inspect the roof’s surface for any signs of damage or dirt buildup that could affect performance.
EPDM Solutions
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a rubber roofing membrane known for its flexibility and weather resistance. It handles extreme temperatures well but can crack or shrink if not maintained properly.
Our restoration includes sealing seams, fixing holes, and applying coatings to protect the membrane from UV rays and ozone damage. We check for any loose sections or areas where water pools, which can cause leaks or structural issues. With proper restoration, your EPDM roof can last many more years.
Modified Bitumen Applications
Modified bitumen roofs use asphalt combined with modifiers to provide a durable, waterproof surface. They often come in rolls and can be applied with heat or adhesives.
We repair modified bitumen roofs by sealing cracks, replacing damaged strips, and restoring the top layers. This process helps protect your building from water damage and heat exposure. We focus on the roof’s weak spots, such as around drains and edges, which are common leak points.
Built-Up Roofs
Built-Up Roofs (BUR) consist of multiple layers of felt or fabric alternated with hot asphalt or tar. This layering creates a thick, durable roof system.
Restoration work includes patching cracks, reinforcing seams, and adding protective coatings. We look for blisters, cracks, or soft spots that could lead to leaks or roof failure. Restoring a built-up roof requires careful handling to maintain its strength and water resistance.
Our Comprehensive Roof Restoration Process
We focus on a detailed approach to restore your flat commercial roof efficiently. Each step addresses specific needs, ensuring your roof lasts longer and protects your building against damage.
Initial Roof Assessment and Inspection
We start by thoroughly inspecting your roof to find any weak spots, leaks, or damage. This includes checking seams, flashing, drains, and the overall surface condition.
Our team uses visual checks and moisture scans to identify hidden problems. This step helps us determine how much repair or restoration your roof requires.
We also note the roof’s age and material type. This information guides us in choosing the right restoration methods and products.
Custom Restoration Planning
After the inspection, we create a detailed restoration plan tailored to your roof’s needs. This plan outlines the materials, timelines, and costs.
We consider the building’s use and weather exposure to pick coatings that fit your environment. Our goal is to maximize durability and energy efficiency for your roof.
We also schedule work to minimize disruption to your business. Clear communication helps you stay informed about each stage.
Surface Preparation and Cleaning
Preparing your roof’s surface is crucial for a lasting restoration. We remove dirt, debris, old coatings, and any rust to ensure proper adhesion of new materials.
This cleaning process may involve power washing, scraping, and treating areas with special solutions to kill mold or algae.
We fix minor cracks or holes before starting the main restoration work. A clean and sound surface makes the restoration coating stick better and last longer.
Application of Restoration Coatings
We apply the chosen coatings in layers, allowing each to dry fully before the next step. These coatings seal the roof, protect against UV rays, and prevent leaks.
Our coatings can include elastomeric, silicone, or acrylic materials depending on your roof’s condition and needs.
This layer-by-layer approach strengthens your roof’s surface and improves its resistance to weather and aging. It also helps reduce energy costs by reflecting heat away from your building.

Signs Your Commercial Roof Needs Restoration
Knowing when your commercial roof requires restoration helps prevent costly damage. Pay attention to visible roof problems and how old the roof is. These issues affect the roof’s ability to protect your building.
Visible Damage and Leaks
If you see cracks, holes, or worn spots on your flat roof, these are clear signs of damage. Water stains or damp spots inside your building show leaks that need fixing fast. Pooling water on the roof surface increases wear and can cause structural damage.
Look for damaged or missing roofing materials like blisters, splits, or punctures. These let water in and reduce your roof's lifespan. Our restoration service includes repairing these problems to stop leaks and prevent further damage.
Age and Wear Indicators
Commercial roofs usually last 15 to 20 years. If your roof is reaching this age, it’s time to check for wear and tear. Older roofs lose their flexibility and may start cracking or becoming brittle.
Repeated repairs over the years can also mean your roof needs more than just patching. When repairs become frequent or costly, restoring the roof extends its life and improves performance. We assess your roof’s age and condition to recommend the best restoration plan for your building.
