Commercial Roofing Guide

This learning center helps building owners, property managers, and real estate professionals make better decisions about commercial roof performance, budgeting, and long-term value.

1) Flat & Low-Slope Commercial Roofs

Flat and low-slope roofs are common on warehouses, shopping centers, offices, and industrial facilities. Their biggest risk is often ponding water, which can accelerate membrane fatigue and seam failure.

  • Best practice: routine inspections + drainage maintenance
  • Look for: seam separation, flashing issues, clogged drains
  • Solution: repairs + reinforcement + proactive maintenance

2) Metal Commercial Roofs

Metal roofs are durable, but they can leak at fasteners, seams, and penetrations over time. They also expand/contract, which increases movement at joints.

  • Common issues: fastener back-out, rust, seam gaps
  • Solution: targeted repairs + sealing + coatings
  • Benefit: restoration may avoid full replacement

3) Roof Coatings & Restoration Benefits

Many commercial roofs can be restored with coating systems, which can help extend roof life and improve reflectivity. Restoration is often faster and more cost-effective than a complete tear-off.

  • Reduce heat load and energy costs
  • Extend roof lifespan
  • Improve waterproofing and seam performance

4) Why Maintenance Programs Save Money

Emergency roof calls are expensive because damage has already spread. A maintenance program reduces unexpected failures and helps owners plan budgets.

  • Catch problems early
  • Extend roof life
  • Improve documentation for owners/agents
  • Reduce tenant disruptions
