Commercial Roofing
Commercial Roofing Types
Commercial roofing provides secure protection for your business, warehouse, or storefront. Whether you have a small family-owned candy store or a large auto parts distribution center, your roof is specifically designed for commercial use, different from a residential roof.
Five main roofing materials are ideal for commercial use due to their durability, longevity, and cost-effectiveness during installation.

Bituminous Membrane
Modified bituminous membranes are renowned for their exceptional flexibility. These user-friendly rolls, designed for convenient handling by a single roofer, make the installation process a breeze. These membranes can be swiftly applied using torch, hot-mop, or chemical adhesives. Furthermore, the introduction of self-adhesive modified bitumen has opened up a plethora of new possibilities for low-slope roofing applications.
Shingles
Are you in need of a warm and welcoming ambiance for your business or commercial area? Shingles have the ability to generate a sense of warmth and hospitality. Choosing top-notch architectural shingles can result in eye-catching and unforgettable visual expressions.
Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer (EPDM)
EPDM, short for "Ethylene propylene diene terpolymer," is a type of synthetic rubber roofing membrane. This particular membrane is created by combining ethylene and propylene distillates derived from oil. Due to its unique polymer composition, EPDM is naturally resistant to water and is highly tear-resistant. Additionally, it is known for its ease of installation. EPDM is offered in both black and white options, and its wide widths of up to 50 feet minimize the need for seams.
Metal
Metal roofs are known for their durability, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. They are suitable for steep-slope installations as well as certain low-slope areas. In the realm of commercial roofing, few options can rival the longevity of a metal roof.
